Family Activism:The Structural Resilience and Dynamic Mechanism of the New Three Generations of Rural Families
Since the reform and opening up,the reproduction of peasant families has gradually been involved in the modernization process.Under the combination of traditional and modern forces,the change path of Chinese rural families has shown greater complexity.Although the independence between the parent family and the child family has increased,and the family structure has a trend of core in form,in the face of the pressure of modernity,there are still extensive and flexible cooperation modes between the generations,forming the structure of the new three-generation family.The new three-generation family is a model in which the father supports the son's family.The constraints of family resources determine the position of the father generation in the relationship between urban and rural areas so that the new three-generation family can be divided into two forms:the"half-working and half-farming"family and the"old drifting"family.The structure of the new three-generation family breaks through the linear transition path implied by the theory of family modernization,and its structural characteristics of"virtual division and real integration"give the intergenerational integration certain flexibility,which is different from the traditional three-generation family,which is an organic whole based on ethical integration and has significant ethical rigidity.Fundamentally speaking,the new three generations of families emerged from the dynamic adaptation of peasant families to the pressure of modernity,which is the practical expression of family activism.Among them,the family goal defines the direction of the peasant family's initiative adjustment,while the family resources determine the space of the peasant family's initiative adjustment,and the external pressure is transformed into the driving force of the new three generations of family reproduction.Family activism provides an important perspective to understand the nature of peasant families in the transition period,which has important theoretical and practical significance.
