由蔡侯申缶论东周时期的同姓相婚现象

On the Phenomenon of Marriage with the Same Family Name in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from Cai Hou Shen Fou

在东周时期的出土金文和传世文献中,有不少关于同姓相婚的记载,但是这些材料并不能说明在东周时期,“同姓不婚”的礼制对时人已经没有了约束;通过对这些史料的具体分析,发现当时的“同姓相婚”现象背后有着深刻的历史因素和个体主观因素,它是孔子所说东周时期“礼崩乐坏”的一种表现,但它并不是当时社会的主流现象;西周时期“同姓不婚”的观念到东周时期依然根深蒂固,对后世影响深远。

There are many records of marriage with the same family name in the gold inscriptions and documents unearthed in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.However,these materials do not show that in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,the etiquette system of“the same family name not marry”had no restriction on the people of the time.Through analysis of these historical materials,it is found that there are profound historical factors and individual subjective factors behind the phenomenon of“marriage with the same family name”at that time.It was a manifestation of Confucius’“ritual collapse”in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,but it was not the mainstream phenomenon of the society.In the Western Zhou period,the idea that“the same family name not marry”is still deep-rooted in the Eastern Zhou period and has a far-reaching influence on the later generations.
