The marriage is between the male and female both sexes union, this kind of union besides has the physiology significance, simultaneously has the law significance and the social significance. This kind"the public announces"the type wedding ceremony ceremony, regardless in formally or understands the national character in the content one very good way. The academic circle to the Manchu nationality, specially has given the enormous attention to the Northeast area's Manchu nationality person, but very little concerns to the area inside the Great Wall Manchu nationality person.

The Chengde area contains in eight county three areas each area county has the respective Manchu nationality township, including three counties are the Manchu nationality Autonomous County, is the Manchu nationality people in an area inside the Great Wall relatively more centralized area, therefore this article attempts the Chengde area wedding ceremony ceremony to take the object of study, and intercepted in the 1950s and at the beginning of the 21st century's wedding ceremony ceremony separately and carries on as the breakthrough point to it combs, the wedding ceremony ceremony's longitudinal comparison has explained the Chengde area wedding ceremony ceremony's vicissitude since through fifty-fifty a century.The western anthropology in the ceremony aspect's research start early, founded the bountiful theory body, but is about includes adult aspect and so on ceremony and death ceremony's life ili, religious rite research, not sees to the wedding ceremony ceremony's system research. Home in wedding ceremony ceremony aspect research obviously frail, concentrates to the Manchu nationality marriage etiquette research in the national history direction, in the cultural anthropology very little concerns. This enables this article the research to have certain innovation significance and the academic value.The literature collection, participates in the observation, the depth visiting and so on to discuss that the concrete research technique unifies: The entire journey participates in the wedding ceremony ceremony on the spot, the process which and the detail the observation marriage etiquette conducts, simultaneously to conducts the concrete related personnel who as well as the Chengde locality resident the wedding ceremony involves carries on the depth interview, and conducted the process to formerly the Chengde area Manchu nationality wedding ceremony ceremony the writing material to carry on the collection, the reorganization and the analysis, accumulates the rich field material for this article research.This article altogether divides into three parts: The introduction, the main text and the conclusion, the first chapter of introductory remarks to elaborate the selected topic reason and the research significance; Marries vulgarly to the related literature from the Manchu nationality already has the research, domestic and foreign already has about the wedding ceremony ceremony studies two aspects to carry on combs. The conclusion part carries on the concise summary to the full text major point; The main text divides into three chapters (second, third, fourth chapters), constitution article main body.The main text second chapter in the union certain reference's foundation, carries on the reorganization to the interview material, introduced the 1950s Chengde area Manchu nationality ?wedding ceremony ceremony, the historical trend impetus which blends the Manchus and han Chinese culture, in the Han Nationality offering of presents to the parents of the bride and the request to marry, asked that the name, the divining an auspicious wedding day, the suggestion, receive the bride personally and so on under the marriage six rites influences, formed gradually one has wrapped newly married own vulgar, separable acted as a matchmaker approximately, inspects the future spouse's home situation, the exchange of eight horoscopic characters before a wedding, slightly to decide, to do obeisance the bride's family, the betrothal gift, to deliver the day, to open cuts, gets married, sits on the kang and exchanges greetings, divides the size, to return home, to go back to visit parent's home one month after wedding and so on procedures.The main text third chapter take a Chengde Kuancheng Manchu nationality Autonomous County pair of ordinary resident's wedding ceremony ceremony as a clue, from the engagement, the marriage, returned home three stages to demonstrate at the beginning of separately the 21st century the modernized wedding ceremony ceremony entire process.The main text fourth chapter is the entire chapter article core, through carries on the comparison to the different age's wedding ceremony integrant part to demonstrate the Chengde area Manchu nationality wedding ceremony ceremony's vicissitude. In the love freedom, the freedom of marriage substitute for"life of gradually the parents, word of the matchmaker"in the modern society, matchmaker's role status had the fundamental vacillation, matchmaker's existence as if has also lost the original significance, from the crucial matchmaker to the symbolic matchmaker, matchmaker's function were many are transforms by the functionality as the symbol. In wedding date choice aspect, the people no longer receive the agriculture productive time regarding the modern canonical hour's choice the influence, needs to consider the factor has more modernities. Along with transportation vehicle's improvement, is away from no longer becomes affects people's activity barrier, therefore"hits the temporary lodging"no longer to become must. The modern wedding ceremony's participant no longer looks like the traditional wedding ceremony such by the blood relationship, the sibship and the geography relations primarily, but is expands to the establishment in industry the reason relations foundation friend, the colleague and schoolmate, and industry the reason relates into the wedding ceremony participant with new person's main relational origin. The wedding ceremony high noon's wedding banquet also changed the hotel from the groom's family families, even is the saloon bar. In society's wedding ceremony ceremony's wedding car motorcade already no longer was immediately at the beginning of the founding of the nation horse-drawn vehicle, the ox cart and the donkey cart motorcade, what displaced was the modernized sedan car. And wedding banquet's specification, wedding car motorcade's quantity and the scale become the people to judge the wedding ceremony organizer status and the status important reference. May see from these integrant part's change the different time the wedding ceremony ceremony occurs the vicissitude, after any cultural element creates, also only for the inventor will not be in sole possession, also will not be irrevocable, between the different cultural feature will collide mutually fuses turns the thing which gradually group of people or the human community will altogether have.The Chengde area Manchu nationality wedding ceremony ceremony already unceasingly fuses in the social development with the modern culture, simultaneously was still maintaining certain national style and the tradition. The local people believed that the wedding ceremony the new person easy to receive at the same day from the outside influence, must be especially discrete. The different time's people as if by prior agreement are scrupulously following such criterion: Bride's foot before entering the nuptial chamber not to be able to be well-grounded directly, in the wedding ceremony some animal representations must abstain from. Besides adopts each measure negative guard from various aspects violation, people also in through each method positive action of driving away ghost, thus avoids each kind of disaster which it brings. In wedding ceremony ceremony, the people except avoid the outside positively each kind of unlucky violation at the same time, is also using the similar ceremony positive expression the happy blessing which will live in the future to the new person as well as the new person.Looks over the full text, the author embarks from the anthropology field of vision, to Chengde area different time Manchu nationality wedding ceremony ceremony process's combing, explained has married the vulgar vicissitude. Meanwhile has analyzed specially take the contemporaneity as the background, the Chengde area Manchu nationality wedding ceremony ceremony while receives the external cultural influence to change, is also scrupulously following own national tradition and the national culture, and is the continuation of it.
