农村认干亲习俗变迁研究——以豫东葛伯村为例

Customs of Establishing Nominal Kinship in Rural Areas——A Case Study of Gebo Village in Henan Province

认干亲这一传统习俗目前仍然普遍存在于中国农村社会之中,但随着经济社会的不断发展,农村代与代之间所处的社会环境的变化,认干亲习俗也发生了很大的改变。以河南省葛伯村为例,20世纪80年代以来,认干亲习俗的变迁主要表现在认干亲仪式、认干亲原因、认干亲对象选择、干亲关系对两个家庭的联系作用等各个方面。引起这些变化的原因主要包括生产方式的转变、农村社会分层的显现以及农村居民对干亲关系认识的改变。

This traditional practice of establishing nominal kinship is still prevalent in Chinese rural society,but with the continuous development of social economy and the changes in the social environment between rural generations,the customs have also changed a lot. The article intends to study the customization of the customs in Gebo village of Henan Province since the 1980 s. The changes appear in the aspects of reasons,ceremonies,choice of the person and influence on the family relationship and so on. The transformation of production methods,the emergence of rural social stratification and the change of the cognition to this nominal kinship in the community residents seem to be the causes of the change.
