现阶段中国农村血缘与姻缘博弈现象探析

Probe into the contest between blood relationship and marriage relationship in the modern country of China

改革开放以后,我国农村基层社会结构发生了巨大变化,其中很重要的一点是姻缘关系正在不断融入原先由血缘关系所支配的传统农村“差序格局”体系,对血缘关系构成了挑战。血缘认同下降、姻缘认同上升的根本原因在于市场经济所带来的人们价值理性的不断弱化、工具理性的不断加强,具体原因是家庭内部关系、社会继替关系的变迁,婚姻圈的缩小,择偶标准的变化等。

Great changes have tabken place in the social structure at the basic level in the countryside of our country since the beginning of reform and opening to the outside world. One important phonemenon to demonstrate the changes is that relationship by marriage is being merged constantly into the traditional rural social pattern originally dominated by relationship by blood, which has become a challenge to relationship by blood. The basic reason for blood relationship ' s becoming more important and marriage relationship' s become less important lies in people' s value rationality' s being constantly weekened and instrumental rationality' s being constantly strengthened caused by market economy. Specific reasons exist in the changes in the relation among family members and social relation, marriage circles' being narrowed and changes in standards for choosing spouses.
