By the time of Liberation, the monogamous nuclear family already prevailed in Lahu society and the main social economic form was that of household production. But due to imbalanced development, the Lahu in Lancang, Menglian, Gengma, Shuangjiang, and Xishuangbanna in Yunnan still preserved household communities characteristic of primitive communism. Their major means of production were collectively owned; production was collectively organized; and products were commonly consumed. In this article, I shall use data from my research in Nanduan Laozhai hamlet in Lancang County to investigate and analyze the Lahu household community-its form, organization, economic base, relations to other hamlets, and patriarchy. |
