族际通婚与云南蒙古族的文化认同变迁--以通海兴蒙乡为例

Inter-ethnic Marriage and the Change in Cultural Identity of Mongolian in Yunnan——A Case Study of Mongolians in Xingmeng Town of Tonghai County

族际通婚与文化认同之间存在多重关系。以云南通海兴蒙乡蒙古族为例,从族际通婚的角度研究其文化认同的建构。发现其族际通婚的历史轨迹大致经历了元朝至明初时期、明清至民国时期、中华人民共和国成立至今三个阶段,形成了族际通婚为主、族内通婚为辅,到族内通婚为主、族际通婚为辅的演变过程。这与蒙古族在云南的社会境遇、民族关系有着一定的联系,反映出其文化认同的情境性、边界性和层次性的变迁过程。在各民族交往交流交融的理论原则下,提倡各民族杂居的社会结构,为促进民族文化融合提供有益思路。

Many studies in recent years show that multiple relationships exist between inter-ethnic marriage and cultural identity.Based on a case study of Mongolians in Xingmeng Town of Tonghai County,Yunnan Province,this paper explores the construction of cultural identity from the perspective of inter-ethnic marriage.It is found that the inter-ethnic marriage roughly went through three historical stages,namely,the Yuan Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty,the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China,and the establishment of People’s Republic of China till now,the mainstream of inter-ethnic marriage with intra-ethnic marriage as supplement giving way to the mainstream of intra-ethnic marriage with interethnic marriage as supplement.Such an evolution has something to do with the social situation and ethnic relations of the Mongolians in Yunnan.It also reflects the changing process of cultural identity in terms of situation,boundary and hierarchy.Under the theoretical principles of the integration of various ethnic groups,the social structure that encourages diverse ethnic groups living together may be a benefit to promote the integration of ethnic cultures.
