一、前言在缔结一个婚姻时,相互交换礼物(不管何种形式)是世界上许多民族和社会中一个比较普遍的实践。在人类学那里,男方向女方的赠与包括聘礼(bride wealth)、聘金(bride price1)、“新娘服务”(bride service2),指的是新郎或其亲属送给新娘本人或其亲属的礼品,包括钱财、物品,也包括以劳动形式提供的各种服务。女子出嫁时亲属赠送的各种物品或货币称为嫁妆(dowry),有时候也包括新娘或其亲属提供给新郎亲属的“新郎服务”(bridegroom service)。关于为什么联姻的两个集团之间要互相赠送礼物的问题,学界的解释可以说是众说纷纭。
I. INTRODUCTION In the conclusion of a marriage, the exchange of gifts (whatever the form) is a common practice in many nations and societies in the world. In anthropology, male gifts to a woman include bride wealth, bride price 1, bride service 2, which refer to gifts that the groom or her relatives give to the bride himself or his relatives, including Money, goods, but also to provide a variety of services in the form of labor. The various goods or money presented to one’s relatives by the woman at the time of her marriage are called dowries, and sometimes include the bridegroom service provided by the bride or relatives to relatives of the bride’s groom. There are many different opinions on the interpretation of the academic circles on the issue of giving gifts to each other between the two groups that make up marriage.
