摘要
河北柏乡魏氏家族始于元末明初,而在明嘉靖年间以科举起家,直至清末民国,传承十余世,历三百余年,兴盛不衰.其原因在于家族成员通过家庭教育、科举仕进、与世家大族联姻、与名贤交游、家族组织制度化等方式维系家族世系,使其家族成为地方望族.而同乡的冯氏、张氏、吕氏却因人丁、家庭教育、家族性格等原因在清代就式微了.魏氏家族的兴盛是中国传统社会中家族兴盛的一个缩影,具有典型的代表性.
Abstract
The Wei family in Baixiang,Hebei began in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty,and made its fortune in the imperial examination during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty,then continued developing until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.It has been lasted for over ten generations and has been consistently prosperous for more than three hundred years.The reason is that the Wei family members maintain their family lineage through home education,promotion through the imperial examination,marriage with aristocratic families,socializing with famous scholars,and institutionalizing family organizations,making their family a local aristocratic one.However,the Feng,Zhang,and Lyu families from the same hometown have declined in the Qing Dynasty due to the population,home education,and their complex family character and so on.The prosperity of the Wei family is a microcosm of the prosperity of families in traditional Chinese society.It has typical representativeness.
