Landscape "tong Meng": Family, Marriage and Ritual Traditions in the Lower Reaches of the Liujiang River Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties
by Huang Yu
About This Novel
This book uses the research perspective and writing style of "historical ethnography", combines folk historical documents and on-the-spot fieldwork, and conducts research on the people in the "Dongdi" villages in the lower reaches of the Liujiang River at the junction of Guizhou and Guangxi. It hopes to reveal how they have faced the military power of the dynastic state and various political, economic and cultural policies since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This paper explores the overall "structural" changes in mountainous village society in terms of family organization, marriage relationships, and ritual traditions, in order to explore the multiple possibilities and diversified ways for people in southern mountainous areas to live under the rule of dynastic states, and to rethink the history writing and social and cultural processes of the people in southwest China.
