Abstract

This paper is written partially based on the selected translation of the Chinese folklore monograph Grand View of Dong Customs. The body of the paper presents the four procedures of a traditional formal Dong marriage in Tongdao Dong Autonomous County of Hunan Province: “fetching the bride and bridesmaids home”, “entering the gate of the bridegroom’s home”, “holding wedding banquets” and “escorting the bride back to her own parents’ home”. In the end, the author analyzes the historical changes occurring to the Dong traditional marriage process and their possible causes.
