摘要
集团结婚(Mass Wedding,即集体婚礼)是在近代文明结婚的基础上发展而来的婚礼形式,起源于墨索里尼执政时期的意大利,本意在"奖励人口增加,而以剔除繁缛婚仪,节省结婚费用,达到婚姻社会化为旨归"。(1)上世纪30年代中期,集团结婚开始传入中国,在上海等地相继出现。此前,学术界对集团结婚的研究,大多集中在近代婚俗变迁这一主题;对由政府主导的、上海地区的集团结婚关注较多。
Mass Weddings(Collective Weddings) originated in Italy, and gradually became popular in China following an initiative from the Shanghai Social Bureau in 1935. The Mass Wedding was a new phenomenon in the marriage custom reforms of the Republic of China, with a strong institutional flavor. One of the main practical activities in the national New Life Movement, the weddings met the needs of a segment of the population. Unlike the "official" version in Shanghai and elsewhere, Mass Weddings in Tianjin were initiated by the YMCA, a Christian youth social service group. In organizing wedding ceremonies, the Tianjin YMCA. accumulated experience and reputation, constantly adjusting its relationship with local authorities according to its own needs, and contributing to the best of its ability to the improvement of the daily life of urban youth and to innovation in local social customs.
