近代日本华侨华人的同化现象论析

A Study of the Acculturation of the Overseas Chinese in Modern Japan

近代以来,众多中国人移居日本并落叶生根,成了远离祖国的华侨华人。他们在适应日本社会文化、习俗的同时,始终怀有浓厚的中华情结,并试图努力保持、延续中华传统文化。但是,这种愿望与努力随着居住年代的增长而逐渐薄弱,被日本文化同化则在所难免。笔者在日本对华侨华人被同化现象进行了问卷分析及社会调查,反映出中华文化以其博大精深的内涵,对延缓华侨华人被同化的进程起到了重要作用。

In modern times, many Chinese have emigrated to Japan. After they have settled down there, they have become overseas Chinese. While adapting to Japanese culture, society and costumes, they have kept a strong Chinese complex and are trying to main this traditional culture. However, their wish and efforts have gradually disappeared with the passing of time and become assimilated by Japanese culture. The author gave a questionnaire on and investigation of this phenomenon among the overseas Chinese in Japan and has concluded that Chinese culture with its rich connotations plays an important role in delaying the acculturation of overseas Chinese in Japan.
