论宗族依附对当代中国社会转型的影响

当代中国农村宗族现象的大量出现不是简单的历史重现。现代宗族现象不仅体现着封建社会传统心理的影响,而且体现着社会转型期间,农民利益保障体系的不完善。中国农村千百年来形成的对宗族、公社等权威体系的认可在当代农村改革过程中面临着最终的瓦解。个体农民自立意识和自立能力的薄弱与社会竞争机制中生活的艰难共同构成了当今宗族现象的社会历史基础。宗族现象反映着改革中存在的某些问题,是一种因改革而引起的社会政治现象,所以当代宗族现象只能通过改革的深化,而不是重新树立宗族的权威来解决。

On the Impact of Clansmen Dependence on Social Reforms in China

The resurgence of active clanship in contemporary rural China is no simple phenomenon. It reveals not only a feudalistic mentality, but also the lack of guarantee of farmer's interests in the undergoing social reforms. As the century-old authorities mechanisms such as clanship in Chinese villages are falling apart in the process of social reforms, individual farmers find their life more difficult much due to their weak consciousness of independence and competitiveness. As a by-product of social reforms, the problem of clansmen dependence should be resolved through deepening of social reforms rather than restoration of clanship authorities system.
