柬埔寨土生华人婚俗探析——以实居省狮子桥村为例

The Primary Exploration of "Zhao Zhen" People's Marriage Custom in Cambodia——A Case Study of Spean Tor Village of Kampong Cham Province

柬埔寨狮子桥村的土生华人不论生活贫苦与富裕,亦把婚姻视为人生大事,其婚俗文化具有不同于高棉族、也不同于"落叶归根"父辈和祖辈的"亦土亦洋"文化特色。当今,狮子桥村土生华人婚俗文化的变化涵盖了婚姻类型、跨族通婚和婚礼仪式展演等内容。可认为,这种变化是土生华人为适应生存环境而做出的文化适应,他们已自觉自愿地融合进柬埔寨主流社会。当然,在这种融合的过程中,土生华人也有所保留,即保持中华文化的优秀传统和价值观。

Regardless of being rich or poor,'Zhao Zhen'people in Spean Tor Village of Cambodia consider marriage as a major event in life.Their marriage custom is different from not only Khmer custom,but also the combination of Chinese and Khmer customs conducted by their parents or grandparents.Today,such a marriage custom has changes in the marriage type,inter ethnic marriage and wedding ceremony,which can be seen as a cultural adaption that'Zhao Zhen'people make to get with the living environment.They are willing to integrate into the mainstream society of Cambodia,however,'Zhao Zhen'people have reservations in the process of integration to keep the excellent traditional Chinese culture and values.
