拟制亲属关系是很多西南民族实现家与社会延续的重要手段之一,通过拟制血亲来确认本家与被认对象之间的亲缘关系,继而实现家观念的延续以及地方社会整合.红河南岸哈尼族选择拟制血亲的内生动力在于:本家父子连名制度的延续、土地房屋等物质财富、房屋守护神祇灵力、祖先灵力的继承以及完成仪式上的道德义务与责任.
Abstract
The imitation of kinship relationships plays a significant role in ensuring the continuity of family and society for many ethnic groups in the Southwest China.By simulating blood ties,the kinship connection between families and recognized individuals is established,thus fostering the continuation of the family concept and facilitating local social integration.This paper attempts to conduct an ethnographic study on the local practice of fictive kinship among the Hani ethnic group in Jinping,the southern bank of the Honghe River in Yunnan Province.It is found that the intrinsic motivations for the Hani people in choosing to imitate blood relatives include the continuation of the patrilineal naming system,the inheritance of material wealth such as land and houses,the transmission of spiritual power from household guardian spirits,the spiritual power of ancestor and the fulfillment of moral obligations and responsibilities through ritual ceremonies.Last but not least,this paper discusses the implications of the family concept underlying the construction of imitation of kinship among the Hani ethnic group on the south bank of the Red River,providing insights for anthropological studies on contemporary kinship systems.
