A Re- Study on the Marriage Form of Zhangfang Daitou among the Yugurs

On the basis of her fieldwork as well as historical records, the author givesa configuration of the Yugurs' marriage form in the past, known as the marriage ofzhangfang daitou (literally, yurt and headdress). Also, the author criticizes the viewpointthat regards the marriage form as the survival of the ancient matriarchy in accordance withthe classic evolutionist theory. Moreover, the cause of the marriage form is accounted for,both from the acculturation between Yugurs and Tibetans, Mongols and some others, andfrom the Yugurs' cultural adaptation to their religious, ecological and social surroundings.
