摘要
恩施土家族苗族自治州的土家族有返祖还宗的风俗习惯,当地人称此现象为“三代还宗”“返祖”或“二姓”。此现象可分为三种类型:怀子再嫁、过继养老、入赘。“三代还宗”的过程其实就是一个相互接济、彼此共担的过程,再嫁、过继或者入赘的人家到了孙子这一辈人,认为养育之恩、父母之情已经报答,需寻回生父,找回自己的根。这在一定程度上是对祖先的敬仰,也是尽社会道义的责任,对维系土家族社会结构具有重要的作用,对于民族的发展与社会的进步有着深远的意义。
There is a custom,“returning to ancestors”of Tujia nationality people,who live in the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.The local people call this phenomenon“returning to their ancestors in the third generations”,while a few people call it“returning to their ancestors”or“having two surnames”.There are threetypes of people that have the“returning to ancestors”,namely remarriage,adoption,and that a man marries into and lives with the bride s family.The process of“The Third Generation Returning to Ancestors”is actually a process of mutual aid and mutual sharing.When a person remarries,be adopted or becomes a son-in-law,he or she believes that the kindness of raising and the love of his or her parents are over,and he or she needs to find his or her biological father and root.To a certain extent,this is a respect for ancestors and a social moral responsibility.It plays an important role in maintaining Tujia social structure.A good ethnic tradition has far-reaching significance for ethnic development and social progress.
