摘　　要：Sustained large-scale migration has been an important structural force bringing about change in the Chinese peasant family. The de-localization resulting from population movement has eroded and undermined the patriarchal family system, with its high degree of overlap between kin-based and place-based ties. The resultant changes in the family institution, however, represent not just a de-traditionalization, but also at the same time a process of reconstructing tradition. The continuation and reconstruction of the patriarchal family in the midst of deconstruction is a result of the interplay of institutional constraints, market dominance and the patrilineal and patriarchal system＇s own need for continued authority. This changing family pattern not only provides a low-cost basis for the survival and development of migrant workers ＂working in the city but rooted in the countryside,＂ but also, through its peculiarly flexible adaptability, serves as a buffer for dealing with contradictions and conflicts arising from changes in rural society and plays a role in relieving social tensions under specific historical conditions.持续规模化的流动已成为中国农民家庭变迁的重要结构性力量。流动带来的去地域化，侵蚀和破坏着血缘和地缘关系高度重合的中国父权制家庭，但其所致的家庭制度变迁不仅具有解传统作用，同时也是一个传统重构的过程。父权制家庭在解构中延续和重建，是体制约束、市场主导和父系父权自身延续的需要三重力量交互作用的结果。这一流变的家庭形态不仅为“身在城市，根在农村”的流动农民提供了低成本生存发展的基础，也以其特有的弹性适应能力，成为应对农村社会因变迁而生的矛盾冲突的缓冲带，在特定历史条件下起到了消解社会紧张的作用。
