Tương trợ cộng đồng trong cưới xin và tang ma của người Nùng Phàn Slình ở huyện Cao Lộc, tỉnh Lạng Sơn

Tóm tắt

The Nung Phan Slinh people in Cao Loc district, Lang Son province traditionally practice reciprocal assistance in wedding and funeral ceremonies. In the above-mentioned occasions, the mutual help of the kindred play a very significant role in sharing the burdens of the hosts. Today, the Nung’s social network is expanded, not only confined within the village community, but also extended to the outside world. Therefore, the mutual assistance is becoming increasingly rich, diverse and in multi-faceted. In many places, there has been a change in the form of material assistance towards cash transactions. The mutual support in the ethnic communities in general, and in wedding and funeral ceremonies in particular, still plays an important role in community solidarity.
