Quà mừng – sự trợ giúp của cộng đồng trong đám cưới (Nghiên cứu trường hợp thôn Bùi, xã Trịnh Xá, huyện Bình Lục, tỉnh Hà Nam)

Tóm tắt

This article results from a survey of 21 households who had weddings between 2000 and 2003 in Bui village, Trinh Xa commune, Binh Luc district, Ha Nam province. Through the survey, the author asserts that presents have changed in accordance with socio-economic conditions, psychology and local preferences. Guests who come to wedding ceremonies and give presents are mainly relatives. The total sum of the presents in cash is often a little bit more than the cost of the wedding itself. It is noted that this is a type of aid given by the community and the wedding provides an opportunity to set up a social network and maintain the exchanges of aid between the people.
