Tradition And Transformation

Village community is such the place where traditional life-style is preserved most deeply,and it is the main carrier of countryside's traditional culture. The Zhuang nationality village is the place where Zhuang nationality people resides in for generations , which carries their antiquity's life-style and cultural convention and so on. During the process of social development, some become solid tradition,and others are changing. Tradition and transformation get convergent in the village. How do the villagers continue their life? What kind of change takes place in their life? How do they face it? What force makes the village change? What route does the village confront with in its development? What's the future of the village? These questions are worth studying.This thesis takes LuCun as the studying case and begins with their daily life,so as to display their life view one by one,and get a whole cognition about the village's tradition and transformation,and gain a entirety study about this village. At last, taking this village unit as angle can perspective many other similar Zhuang nationality villages'existence and developing trend.The article mainly adopts the method of field research. The author studies deeply into the people's daily life and collects data by the way of observation and unstructured interview and through making qualitative analysis with these date and himself experience and realization in order to recognize the studying object. Besides, this article takes the method of document study,and collects the relative file and statistic on local government,community organization and the folk. It resorts to a lot of clan pedigree, account notes and books that Chinese and foreign scholars have studied about village. When gaining the firsthand data,the author mainly adopts the quality research method that is called by professor LiPeiLin as version summarize to arrange the data,and expresses them out with comparatively succinct and methoization's version language.The thesis expounds the village's tradition characteristic and changing status of clothing and diet, family structure, ancestral idea, religious belief, marriage convention, literature and art, governing pattern and so on. This research indicates that,during the process of the village's development, some tradition also keeps orderly as before when facing external impingement. What's more,some displays risorgimento trend, while some changed qualitatively that never be smritied by the villager. The vicissitude of the villages is affected by many factors,which can be mainly divided into two categories: exogenous force and endogenetic force. First of all, under the impact of the external factors,the village internal system can not but deal with the percolation of external force which at the same time causes the transformation of the village's own structure. This process triggered the transformation of the village productive relations by external motivation. Subsequently causes the change of productive forces and promotes many factors' development, such as the village structure and the villagers idea .Subsequently the two kinds of force relate to each other and together promote the process of modernization of village community.The author believes that the transformation of the village is the frustration of spirit and difficulty of adaptation while confronting with many problems rather than the natural transmission process of tradition and modernization. In the development of the village,only if exogenous force agree and combine effectively with endogenetic force,can the Zhuang villages adapt well to conflicts and difficulties and change for the better. It is also the apply value of this study.
