近代壮族社会结构及其变迁

文章指出进入近代以来,壮族地区逐渐步入半殖民地半封建社会,但在广大的农村,农业和家庭手工业相结合的自然经济依然占主导地位,部分地区仍旧保留土司统治或土司旧制,这些情况使得近代壮族社会的结构具有不同于汉族地区的特点.随着社会经济文化的发展,近代壮族社会的封闭性逐渐被打破,社会结构的重要组成因素家庭、宗族和村社的基本形态,也在发生变化,特别是阶级形态的转化,造成了传统社会结构的逐步解体.这种传统社会结构的改变,无疑对壮族社会的近代化起到了一定的推动作用.

On the Zhuang Social Structure and its Changes in Modern Times

In early modern times, the Zhuang region began to enter a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. But in the vast countryside, a natural economy of combining agriculture with family handicraft industry still played a dominant part and in some areas the local chieftain rule or system still survived, which made the structure of Zhuang society different from those in the Han-inhabited regions. With the development of economy, culture and society, modern Zhuang society could no longer close itself to the outside world. Such important social elements as family, clan and village structures, especially the transformation of class formation, were changing and this finally led to the gradual disintegration of Zhuang traditional social structure and ushered in a new period of early modernization.
