简述“自梳”和“串隆闺”有什么不同?

答案

参考答案:(1)自梳是珠江三角洲特有的一种婚嫁习俗.过去广州与珠江三角洲的未婚女子都梳着一条长辫子挂在背后,结婚时,由母亲或女长辈替其把辫子挽成一团紧贴在脑后勺,称为髻,以区别于未婚女子.

自梳女就是通过一种特定的仪式,自己将辫子挽成发髻,表示永不嫁人,独身终老.但一经械起,终生不得翻悔,父母也不能强其出嫁.日后如有不轨行为,就会被乡党所不容,遭受酷刑毒打后,捆入猪笼投河溺死.死后还不准其父母收尸葬硷,得由“姑婆屋”中的自梳女们用草席与门板草草挖坑埋葬了事;如村中无“自梳女”初助殓埋的,便被抛人涌中随水流去。

(2)串隆闺是海南黎族地区男女青年自由恋爱的一种形式.

隆闺是指黎家未婚男女的单独住房,当家中儿女长到十五六岁时,家长就为他(她)在居屋外面建一间有五六平方米的小房子,也有的是几个青年相约一起建在村寨附近山坡上.“闺隆"建得很简单,只有三衍六柱,竹蔑编壁,上糊草泥,只开门不并窗,房内只有一张床和一根挂衣服用的藤.每当夜幕降临,青年男女便三五成群来到黎寨附近的树林或空地上对歌,物色意中人.男有情女有意时,就会邀对方到自己的隆闺中单独对歌.一般是男青年到女隆闺来对歌、玩乐器,双方情投意合时还可以在女隆闺里过夜,至到第二天清晨才告别回家.

男女双方侮誓山盟之后,便由男方家长找媒人向女方提亲,俗称“放槟榔”.(因在订婚的彩礼里一定耍放两串槟榔)

在正式订婚前,男女双方有绝对的自由,即使女方怀孕了,女方仍有选择的权利,非婚生子女不受歧视.

Americans have contributed (做贡献) to many art forms, and jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.

Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious(宗教) music. Improvisation (即兴表演) is an important part of jazz. This is why a jazz song sounds a little different each time it is played.

Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is an international seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.
