川西藏区的扎巴母系制走访婚

川西扎巴藏人的婚姻家庭形态与纳西族摩梭人20世纪60年代的婚姻家庭形态惊人地相似,扎坝地区是迄今继泸沽湖之后发现的第二个母系文化区。由于当地比较闭塞,受现代社会冲击较晚,走访婚和母系亲族家庭一直占居主导地位,母系制特点鲜明。这一调查结果为人类学对母系制的研究提供了新的田野样本。

The Matrilineal Visiting Marriage of Zhaba in Tibetan Area of West of Sichuan Province

The marriage and family system of the Zhaba Tibetan people is quite similar to the system of the Moso people in 1960s. The Zhaba region is another matrilineal cultural region after the Lugu Lake region. As a place where few information of outside world comes into, Zhaba is affected rarely by the modernization. So the visiting marriage and matriarchal family is still playing an important role and the society has typical matrilineal characteristics. This fieldwork brings a new example for the studies of matrilineal system.
