The Chineseization of religion is the basic direction of religious development in China,the key is to deepen cultural identity.Based on the new era,Christianity,as a heterogeneous culture,has been seeking harmonious coexistence with Chinese culture since the introduction of Jiaqing to China.This study is based on the background of religious Chineseization,the study of the rural Christian wedding to the traditional wedding of the vulgar and adapted,and strive to sort out the practice path of Christian localization.Based on the reference point of local traditional wedding ceremony and Western Christian wedding ceremony,this paper analyzes the popularity and adjustment of rural Christian wedding to traditional wedding ceremony based on the theory of culpability,according to the different attitude of Christians to Christian culture and traditional culture interaction,the Christian wedding with the custom and the adjustment of the present integration,assimilation,separation,penetration and erosion of five types,the results show that: Christians did not completely abandon the traditional wedding strategy,not completely follow the church wedding,but only in the framework of the traditional wedding.The integration of Christian ethical taboos to show their Christian faith,although on the surface of the traditional wedding in part different,but in the depths of the mind of the specific values,still agree with the intrinsic value of Confucian culture,and traditional weddings obviously exist “the same as the same.” This view has also been demonstrated in other Christian rituals,so it can be argued that the path of Christianization in China is integrationto,to change traditional culture at a limited level,so that it conforms to the belief needs of both cultures.There are three main reasons for the integration of the two in the wedding: first,in the macro social background,cultural pluralism,religious Chineseization and the promotion of the acquaintance society,requiring Christians not to stick to one side of the culture;Second,even if the people convert to Christianity,deep down the heart is still deeply affected by the traditional culture of filial piety culture,the concept of subinheritance and the culture of choice of ji,so that its wedding ceremony can not completely abandon the traditional form,all Westernized;Third,Christians are strategically attached to traditional cultural forms,identify with traditional culture in consciousness,and the xenophobia of the existence of psychology and faith is also the main reason for the formation of rural Christians to integrate and adjust traditional weddings in weddings.It can be seen that the development of Christianity in China is not "one more Christian less Chinese",in the process should see the initiative of Christians as the main body of faith,it is this initiative that greatly reduces the resistance in the process of Christianization in China,so that Christianity truly from an "foreign religion" to a "local religion" accepted by the local.
