摘　　要：受西潮的冲击,近代中国读书人对婚姻制度的认识经历了一次根本性变化。这恰恰是以西方基督教国家一夫一妻制为参照的。在趋西读书人的心目中,纳妾制度成为传统中国社会实行一夫多妻的证据,沦为野蛮、专制的象征。因此,纳妾从合礼、合法的社会制度变成了违反人道、不尊重女性人格、破坏人伦的社会制度。不少支持社会改良和女权运动的团体纷纷呼吁废止纳妾制度。国民革命前后,纳妾进一步成为党义、国法所不允许的制度。废妾的言说与行动,再现了过渡时代的新旧之争,也呈现出国家法律与百姓礼俗之间的博弈。然而,在战争和动荡的20世纪三四十年代,实际生活中,纳妾恐怕仍未完全消失,而是处于有罪无罚的状态之中。With the impact of the West,modern Chinese intellectuals’attitudes toward the institution of marriage underwent a fundamental transformation,which was based upon the Christian conjugal family system.In the eyes of pro-West intellectuals,the tradition of concubinagebecame the evidence of polygamy and also asymbol of barbarianism and autocracy.Hence,concubinage has gradually shifted from ritual-following and law-abiding practice to a social institution that runs counter to humanity,femininity andsocial ethics.Numerous protagonists of social reformsand feminist movements called for the elimination of concubinage.Around the National Revolution,it was renounced by both KMT and law.The discourse and actionto abolish concubinage represented the conflicts between the new and the traditional in an age of transition,and also gave testimony to the rivalry of law and custom.However,amidst the turmoil of 1930s and 1940s,concubingewas never really gone,being illegal but not punishable.
