Collectivization era,Chinese rural society has experienced a series of major changes, a major change gave the Chinese rural society brought about a dramatic effect.For the large number of factors that reflected changes of rural social life, there is no doubt that the rural marriage and family is one of the most important factor for this article Dynasty.This paper will be based on a village of Pingyao county in Shanxi province preserved for the file, deep into the family internal, true to "present type" observation method by local people reading in daily life constantly practice of the local system.This paper discusses the collectivization period for normal marriage way village in the practice of the problems:firstly, the paper discusses the preparation phase of the marriages, meeting, choosing of potential spouse and reaching the marriage age. Chinese rural marriage ritual had undergone development stages through arranged marriages to matchmaker to introduction by acquaintances to free love. All forms of marriage forms were observed and intervened in the Collectivization era. Overall, the introduction by acquaintances was the main method during this period. Before land reform, rural young men and women in the choice of a wife, the perfect match is the most important factors they considered a standard. Land reform after the class composition has become the spouse must be considered the most important factor. Secondly, the discussion of the marriage ceremony. In general, pre-marital ceremony can be divided into three phases:a blind date, engagement, marriage. Chinese rural society, the importance of a wedding is often stronger in the marriage registration, the young men and women only do the wedding to get the recognition of rural society.Thirdly, the paper discusses the dissolution of marriage that is the divorce. Since the1950s, Chinese rural areas had maintained a very low divorce rate. In analyzing the many causes of low divorce rate, Regulate the role of rural customs and mediator in the village is the most important.Finally, the marriage circle will be discussed. Chinese rural social marriage circle had changed through a circular changing process. The outer ring of marriage changed from big to small, then back to big again. Of course, the marriage ring of the Road, prepared by the village also reflects this trend. However, the village is a large family and religious beliefs of the village, therefore, to discuss the collectivization era, the village can be divided into geographic Marriage Circle rating marriage ring and beliefs Marriage Circle.From the village of normal vicissitude of marriage, with50’s promulgated by the state new marriage implementation and the political identity the designation, independent and free love, these new ideas of equality between men and women is through the political education, publicity machine, entertainment way was introduced into the village, people and the marriage act added more external rigid constraint throughout the50’s to60’s.In this national discourse, the way of the village for marriage behavior the trend of the country to follow:legal age of marriage registration system replaced the village of such as child bride early phenomenon; Young people the independent symmetry in the place of a traditional era of their parents’ orders, by matchmakers ’help; And the collectivization period between the family wealth gap, a special environment and largely contributed to the rise in the proportion of marriage; Along with the development of the movement and political unceasingly thoroughly, composition of the mark is becoming more and more prominent, word of the village of "equal" prepared in the non-economic basic level again emerges. This series of changes will undoubtedly reflects social change the background in the village the influence of daily life, from this level speak, way for age and country village in the collectivization policy is keep in step. But, the local people in daily life in practice, the structure and the choice of the institutional framework, strategy, keep a lot of village characteristics. Such as:in that class composition quite strong times color, word of the people for village spouse it reflects "neither ingredients and not composition"; From the collective labor period of marriage, the team marriage to rise in the proportion of cadres change of roles flopping relationship between men and women of privilege under protruding shows; And after the end of the cultural revolution, children in the process of symmetry in autonomy absolute rise, especially some of the village married the existence of the relationship between all manifestations for public debut in the village the behavior of the marriage age collectivization features. Can say, collectivization era, the way people marriage behavior for village is a deep imprint era, and practice their behavior logic.If we look from the village marriage of transaction, to show the collectivization period of Chinese rural society the power of daily life practices. This practice is not so much one-way penetration of state power to the village, as it is the countries and villages of bi-directional, multi-form practice of body politics.More intriguing is that the state of rural governance and the operation is not simply the top to bottom to use in the village. In fact, in the national governance and requirements, what kind of case can be "whole" into case; The case of how the criminal, in the village but with political case to handle; The case of how the political case, but also in the moral case to disposal. These are not all of the national requirements or the case itself decision, more is by the parties and the case around the village of case produce interaction to decide. Here, not only was the depth of the national governance unilaterally, also is not only village obey national shape of the so-called "new" power practice, but also answer with the villagers all kinds of struggle villages that the use of the strategy. Actually, the whole collectivization era, countries with method of the management of rural struggle between strategy is not completely opposite relationship, are not completely consistent relationship, say, in national power into the process of the rural society, the villagers have brought their purpose is actively involved in the meantime "conspiracy" role.By the discussion about the Collectivization era’marriage and family life in Daobei road, this paper argues the following points:First of all, the state had an obvious influence on the marriage and family life in rural society. The impact had caused the marginalization of traditional social hierarchy and social structure, which was based on the traditional kinship. The private lives of the rural people were also significantly affected. Secondly, in this period, social change and social continuity were reflected in marriage and family life in rural Chinese society. These two diametrically opposite points mutually coexisted, and were observed throughout the whole rural society.
