Rural Uxorilocal Marriage Research In The Context Of Urbanization

Under the traditional patriarchal family system in China, patrilocal marriage is overwhelmingly dominant. However, with the implementation of one-child policy, a large number of one-child families come up. In order to extend families, Many one-child families choose a new marriage pattern:uxorilocal marriage.French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has done many field research on marital problem and proposed a concept of "marriage stategy". On this basis, I started to study uxorilocal marriage in Hangzhou suburb. I would like to figure out how the uxorilocal marriage practice can run through the whole marriage process.Through the whole field research, the article found that modern uxorilocal marriage is no longer traditonal uxorilocal marriage any more, real interest factors become more important than before, sometimes even can decide whether the only daughter family Marriage take the new marriage pattern. Therefore, at least in this case it can be said that uxorilocal marriage is a conspiracy between the uxorilocal tradition and the practical interests:On one hand, the only daughter family try there best to achieve the reproduction of the population in tere family on the background of urbanization, in order to maximize there family share in the collective process of distribution; On the other hand, the son-in-law transfer all or part of surname inheritance right, and ultimately transform the identity of farmers to the citizen through the "re-conversion strategy".
