在地化与礼仪变迁——中亚东干人婚姻礼仪之争中的社会、文化与族群观念

Localization and Ritual Changes: Social, Cultural and Ethnic Conceptions in the Disputes of Marriage Rituals of the Dungans in Central Asia

中亚东干人是晚清时期从中国陕甘地区迁居中亚的回民及其后裔发展而来的族群。作为移民群体,东干人的在地化在祖籍地与中亚本地文化要素的交织中展开,在此过程中,其婚姻礼仪成为杂糅多种文化元素的复合仪式。在苏联解体后的中亚社会与文化转型中,东干人的社会关系发生了较大变化,但其文化表达仍受苏联时期形成的族群观念影响。东干人在中亚转型过程中的社会、文化与观念之间的关系及其张力在其围绕婚姻礼仪的争论中有直接体现,反映了该群体在地化的诸多面向。

The Dungans are an ethnic group of Hui people that migrated from Shaanxi and Gansu of China to Central Asia during 1877-1884. As an immigrant community, Dungans' localization was influenced by their ancestral cultures as well as the surrounding cultures in Central Asia;In such a context, their marriage rituals have developed into complex ceremonies that comprise multicultural elements. After the collapse of the Soviet Union,Dungans' social relations changed significantly in line with the social and cultural transformation in Central Asia, but their cultural expressions are still under the shadow of the ethnicity concepts inherited from Soviet Union. The debates in Dungans' marriage rituals reflect the strained relationships of their social, cultural and conceptual aspects, showing the multiple aspects of the localization process of the Dungans in Central Asia's transformation.
