| The Manchu was an ancient nation which was originated between Changbai Mountainin and Hei longjiang in northeast of China. In the long historical development process, they gradually formed a natural,simple,unique customs and habits. After A.D. 1644, a large number of Manchu migrated from the northeast to inside Shanhaiguan region. They blend and contacted with Han after more than two hundred years, their level of localization to Han grew, and gradually closed to the customs of the Han. However, a part of the Manchu people who were left In the northeast of China and the other part of the Manchu people who were later returned to the northeast of China to garrisoned kept their unique customs and habits greatly. The change was relatively small and slow.Since modern times, the "banned policy" of the northeast of China for a long time was replaced by the Qing Government gradually with "nearby the immigration". During the period of the republic of China, each session of the central government and the northeast local government introduced some policies that encouraged the migration to northeast of China. And these had got the widespread calls and advocate from the social from all walks of life. In addition, The huge population pressure to survive in the central plains and frequent natural disasters contributed a large number of refugees to began to " Rush into the east area of Shanhaiguan " in order to make a living. So, since the Xianfeng period to the early years of the republic of China, Shandong, Zhili, Henan and other provinces immigrated to the northeast of China increased year by year, and in the late Qing and early years of the republic of China achieved orgasm.Many immigrants not only brought the advanced productive forces, promoted the development of the northeast agricultural, industrial and commercial prosperity, but also promoted to rise of the northeast modern towns and established a large of villages. All of these make the northeast area had taken place in the original material environment. The outbreak of "The 1911 Revolution in China " overthrew the rule of the Qing government and ended the absolute monarchy system. After the establishment of the republic of China, the governments at all levels are pushed through a series of social reform policies. All of these promote the spread of transforming social traditions, made the northeast political environment look brand-new.The coming of the Han immigrants of inside Shanhaiguan region led to the northeast Manchu population lost their dominant position in quantity and lost its main position in culture. As the push of history, the cultural fusion between Manchu and Han gradually strengthened, the Manchu customs also sped up the localization to Han. As the tide of western customs east gradually, the western customs also gradually spread in northeast of China. Affected by this, the Manchu people in the northeast of China also gradually accepted and absorbed some western culture and customs. Under the comprehensive effect and influence of these factors, the Manchu customs of the northeast of China there had been a marked change, and was embodied on the marriage custom was the changes of the traditional marriage customs and the emergence of new marriage customs.My article will base on the Manchu marriage customs as the breakthrough point, and the boundaries of time and area of the modern northeast of China, elaborate the modern period the change of the northeast Manchu marriage customs from the form of marriage, wedding ceremony and marriage concept. On this basis, I will analyze the reasons and characteristics of the marriage customs change, then interpret history thinking of the modern northeast Manchu marriage customs change from the perspective of cultural change, and dig the changes that have taken place of the modern northeast Manchu on cultural psychology and Its gradually become integrated cultural patterns. |
