The Research Of Dong Marriage Regulation

As the organic components of the national culture,marriage is always a goodsubject for ethnology. However, due to the objective existence of nations and theircomplex and diverse culture, the marriage customs in different ethnic groups is alsodifferent. Than Han traditional marriage customs, the marriage customs of the Dong hasa specific regulatory system which belongs to their national culture, the form of thespecific regulatory is due to Dong particular historical process, interaction withneighboring peoples, and it is also the product of which the natural and ecologicalenvironment constantly runningDong traditional love is different from the Han. Love exists as the form of"collective", and the way of love is very diverse, including "sitting in a line and singsongs ","collective to farming,"play in mountain" and so on. Compared to Han, thetraditional Dong marriage concluded and the lifting program is extremely "simple" andthey have "easy together easy separate" characteristics.It is based on the above two points, after many scholars research in the Dongmarriage process, they often think Dong marriage is "free", or their marriage customsare primitive society "group marriage" remains. However, the findings of the topicshow that the Marriage of the Dong is not freedom but a stable social facts with Dongtraditional cultural institutional setting. In other words, the Dong Marriage institutionalsetting will be different from other regions because of its special historical process andhave in system settings on the temper justice magnitude. To this end, the for Dongmarriage, we obviously can not merely exploring in the external representation of thesocial facts, but can not proceed from the point of view of the Han culture, make free ornot, or "group marriage" remains the analogy conclusions. Should always adhere to andimplement the principle of cultural relativism, depth Dong culture internal to thisparticular marriage regulation for depth profiling to identify the formation of thisparticular marriage regulation Dong cultural context and the special historical reasons,from the perspective of the structure and function proved the rationality andeffectiveness of this marriage of regulation.The Marriage is like a complex whole, in order to obtain a reasonable andscientific interpretation of the Dong-specific marriage customs, apparently was thecultural elements related to marriage the love, intermarriage circle, family life andmarital disputes mediation horizontal and vertical convergence from and summarized aspecific connotation Dong marriage regulation.After a comprehensive demonstration of the system of the field survey and historicaldocuments, the author found that Dong not the Marriage predecessors said "free" orprimitive society "group marriage" remains, but a strict set of system, the traditional culture in the Dong Statute under a strict system of arrangements. Concretemanifestation: First, the strict temporal and spatial regulation of Dong love mate, loveactivities for young people, the community have made elaborate arrangements have astrict "degree" of restrictions on the behavior of young people in love. The second is tohave strict geographical range intermarriage circle, also made strict rules on the theintermarriage object’s identity, once the parties contrary to the constraints of theregulatory community to suffer relentless accusations. Third, the strict regulationthroughout the family life of the parties to the marriage including the establishment of anew family and family roles are recognized and the sharing of family property is notmarked "The wedding will be held, but marked" reproductive ". Strict compliance withthe provisions of paragraph about the dissolution of marriage, stressed the powers andresponsibilities and obligations of the parties for the families and communities. Theseregulatory being hidden in people’s ethical and moral concepts, and get safeguards frominstitution and customary law.Therefore, Dong traditional marriage is always running in the system settings, andthe regulation is a cultural matter, which form from Dong particular historicalprocess,with neighboring nations and their communities constantly running andexchanges, but also the natural and ecological environment constantly adapt anddebugging process in which they live,and then gradually stereotypes down. Thismarriage regulation while maintaining the equality of the parties, but also create andmaintain harmony within the community, so, Dong marriage is not "freedom", nor is theremains of a primitive society, but effective and rational existence cultural facts whichis need to respect.
