I am an international student of Vietnam in China.I have studied in China for many years and constantlyconcern on the traditional cultural changes of the Vietnamese minority(Mang).Since the 1990s,the sociological community in Vietnam has shifted its research focus from past social formation theories to specific cultural phenomena and modernization processes of various ethnic groups,and a number of applied results related to ethnic culture and social development have emerged.The research results of the social and cultural development of the Mang people are still relatively scarce,and there is a lack of in-depth investigation and theoretical research.In 2009,Vietnam's census showed that there were 1,268,963 Mang people in the country.The population of the Mang nationality ranks third among the national minorities in Vietnam,and it is a relatively large ethnic group.The Mang people have a long history.They mainly live in Heping Province,Qinghua Province and its neighboring areas for generations,and belong to the indigenous people of Heping Province.In the course of long-term historical development,the Mang nationality has created a variety of material and spiritual cultures,and formed a national culture that has been passed down through the generations with its own national characteristics.The impact of Vietnam's social development and institutional changes and economic globalization has made the originally closed and backward Mang society more and more frequent with the outside world.There are significant or implicit changes in all aspects of traditional culture.Describe and excavate the underlying causes of the change,and analyze the impact of the change on the traditional culture of the Mang nationality,which has become an important subject in the study of the Mang nationality in Vietnam today.Based on field investigations in areas where Mang people live,the theories and methods of historical materialism and dialectical materialism are used as the basic guiding ideology,and the research results of cultural anthropology on change and sociological and ethnological theories are used as Based on the relevant historical documents and materials,a diachronical longitudinal combing of representative cultural changes is conducted,and appropriate comparative studies are conducted in the context of synchronicity.This article takes the Mang in Qinghua province as the main object of study,and uses the typical characteristics of cultural change to explain the cultural change process of the Mang in Vietnam.At the same time,it compares several counties in Qinghua province as a reference to try to summarize the Mang The process and characteristics of the change of traditional culture,and reflect on its gains and losses and why.Our empirical investigation found that the language culture,dress culture,residential culture,and marriage and family culture of the Mang people have undergone tremendous changes.First of all,if the Mang language of the Mang people in Qinghua province is used to represent the Vietnamese Mang language,it can be seen that the Mang language has become a decaying language.In areas where Mang people live in Qinghua Province,Mang language is no longer the dominant language in the region,at most it is only a common language in the village.Mang language is constantly affected by the Jing language and other languages.Its 70-75%fixed words are borrowed from the Jing language,and it decays faster and faster.Language decay is also a process of group differentiation.However,at present,the Mang language can also use its own grammar to regulate foreign words without destroying its existing structure.In addition,many Mang people in Qinghua Province live in rural areas,forming a specific language environment.Therefore,the protection of Mang language is particularly important.Secondly,under the influence of Vietnam's reform and opening up and the market economy,the dress culture and housing culture of the Mang people have changed significantly.Traditional clothing is no longer the daily dress of many Mang people,but festive dress.In the countryside,there are fewer tall houses than before,but they are still common;many new houses still imitate traditional tall houses,but use new materials and new architectural styles.In places where cultural exchanges and integration are strong,such as town centres,high-footed houses almost disappear.The structure of the house has changed,and the interior decoration has also changed in the direction of more complex,more convenient and cleaner.Thirdly,the changes of marriage and family of the Mang people in Qinghua province mainly include:the disappearance or weakening of traditional cultural factors;many foreign cultures appear,but the influence of foreign cultures gradually weakens.The autonomy of men and women in marriage has been strengthened;marriage etiquette and procedures have been simplified;social relations networks have been increasingly expanded.In a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural environment,many young people of the Mang ethnic group marry young people of other ethnic groups,and their family culture,husband and wife relationship,parent-child relationship,etc.have also changed with it.Economic and social development has directly eliminated some of the original cultural elements,such as welcoming tools and family education.In parent-child relationships,the authority of parents gradually disappears,and the children's right to speak gradually increases.At present,although some elements of traditional marriage and family culture have disappeared or are disappearing,there are also some important elements still preserved,such as marriage etiquette.Changes in marriage and family are gradual.Although some customs such as early marriage and solicitation have changed,it is difficult to disappear,and many changes take a long time.It can be seen that the changes in marriage and family are not to completely negate or completely discard traditional marriage and family culture,but to absorb and inherit the appropriate elements of the new era,thereby creating changes with the enthusiasm of modern society.In short,the cultural changes of the Mang people show some regularities:the cultural structure and content of the people of the Mang people and other ethnic groups have changed due to cultural exchanges and borrowing.Its cultural system with other nations is moving in a more modern direction;cultural changes are inevitable,but the changes are long and slow.The theoretical implication of the cultural change of the Mang nationality in Vietnam's Qinghua Province is that cultural change is affected by cultural exchanges and cultural adaptations,and it is a development process of the cultural system itself.First,the internal realization mode of cultural change is realized by the multi-faceted culture of individuals in the group in accordance with the order of differentiation-adaptation-integration-re-differentiation-re-adaptation-re-integration.The language change of Mang people in Qinghua province is affected by factors such as family,personal psychology,and social language environment However,from the internal process,it gradually occurs through the continuous differentiation,adjustment and integration of groups.At present,the traditional clothing of the Mang people are still in the stage of differentiation.The traditional clothing is being reformed and transformed,and it strives to adapt to modern life,while maintaining traditional clothing in diferent ways.The internal process of the cultural change of the Mang people in Qinghua Province is still a continuous process of cluster differentiation-adaptation-integration.Second,the process of cultural change is actually equivalent to the process of dissolving solutes in the solution,and the saturation of the changes will occur.The precipitation of the elements of cultural changes follows the principle of similar compatibility,and the cultural changes are controllable.Third,cultural change is closely related to the social environment.
