做“干女儿”:中越边境地区壮族布傣外来媳妇的本地融合

Being a Substitute Daughter:the Local Integration of Non-local Daughters-in-law of the Budai People of Zhuang Ethnic Group in the Sino-Vietnamese Border Area

以中越边境地区龙州县金龙镇壮族布傣为个案,探讨壮族布傣社会充分利用地方传统文化机制,通过让外来媳妇做"干女儿",即认一个本地干妈的文化策略,使外来媳妇家庭在当地缺失的"后亲"角色得以填补,从而确保了家庭各项仪式实践得以顺利进行。这一文化机制不仅解决了跨族际婚姻交往中由于文化差异带来的文化冲突和社会紧张关系,维持了社会和谐有序的互动,同时也为外来媳妇快速融入地方社会生活,建立地方社会关系提供了可能。

Conducting a case study among the Budai people of Zhuang Ethnic Group in Jinlong Town-ship of Longzhou County in the Sino-Vietnamese border area in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, this paper tries to explore how the Budai people utilize their cultural mechanism of local tradition to solve new social problems and cope with social relationship emerging with the coming of their non-local daughters-in- law in the process of contemporary social transformation. It points out that by letting a local woman to be the substitute mother of a non-local daughter-in-law, the family who has a non-local daughter-in-law can fill the gap of ＂natal family＂ in the local place, so that the ritual practices of the family can be smoothly completed. The cultural mechanism not only solves potential cultural conflict and social tension resulted from cultural differences in the cross-ethnic marriage, and maintains harmonious and orderly social interaction, but also makes it possible for non-local daughters-in-law to blend in the local social life and establish their social relationship in a short time.
