Yunxiang Yan is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Adjunct Professor in the School of Public Policy and Social Development, Fudan University, China. He is the author of Te Flow of Gifts: Reciprocity and Social Networks in a Chinese Village (Stanford University Press, 1996), Private Life under Socialism: Love, Intimacy, and Family Change in a Chinese Village, 1949–1999 (Stanford University Press, 2003) and The Individualization of Chinese Society (Berg, 2009). His research interests include family and kinship, social change, the individual and individualization, and moral changes in post-Mao China.
Gift-giving is a classic topic in anthropology, where on-going debates involve the principle of reciprocity, the spirit of the gift, and the relationship between gifts and commodities. In this study, the author examines the gift-giving and related social activities that pervade daily life in China, focusing on routine activities - visits between relatives, exchanges of food and labour between neighbours, gift-giving between friends - while not ignoring such special occasions as weddings and funerals. He constructs a classification of exchange behaviour in village society, examining the items of presentation, the types of gift-giving activities, and the hierarchical arrangement of givers and receivers. He also presents new interpretations of key concepts involved in Chinese gift-giving: guanxi (social networks), renqing (norms of interpersonal behaviour), mianzi (face), and bao (reciprocity). The book concludes by showing how the village gift economy has adjusted and survived in response to the radical social changes engendered by four decades of socialism.

評分中国一些传统的礼仪曾在建国初期被自上而下地打压和摒弃过一段时间,原因主要有以下几点: 1、在“破四旧”的整体社会风气下,礼仪被视为封建迷信活动; 2、礼仪在支持地方精英和族长的权威方面起着重要作用,而这不利于中央的集权统治; 3、在物质极其匮乏的年代,礼仪使农民...
評分重新编辑一下书评,因为今天一件关于礼物流动的事情深深的触动了我,在此聊以记录。 我妈的亲姐姐(二姨)得孙,吃酒席是要顺彩礼的,妈妈本打算上账500,(因为二姨也曾顺500彩礼给我家喜事),但是大姨在未和其他姊妹商量的情况下上账了1000,抹不开面子妈妈也只好又补了500...
迴過頭來重新讀英文版,齣乎意料地清晰明瞭,始終放在一個學術的脈絡下進行對話,非常紮實。頁35中的urban resident(城鎮居民)拼音應該是 chengzhen jumin,書中為「zhumin」,書最後character list中的倒是對的。
