Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 1998.

The Tangs of Lung Yeuk Tau are a localized lineage in the New Territories, Hong Kong that once dominated the Fanling area for centuries. After being eclipsed for some sixty years under the British rule that began in 1899, they have staged a comeback to become a dynamic part of modern society. The history of this lineage is investigated, and so is its contemporary way of life in terms of settlement patterns, population demographics, family system, lineage organization, social structure, economic life, collective property management, traditional values and beliefs, religious rituals, and political activities.

520 $a The Tangs of Lung Yeuk Tau are a localized lineage in the New Territories, Hong Kong that once dominated the Fanling area for centuries. After being eclipsed for some sixty years under the British rule that began in 1899, they have staged a comeback to become a dynamic part of modern society. The history of this lineage is investigated, and so is its contemporary way of life in terms of settlement patterns, population demographics, family system, lineage organization, social structure, economic life, collective property management, traditional values and beliefs, religious rituals, and political activities.
520 $a The ethnographic data are discussed from a cultural perspective that looks into the symbolic and normative systems of the Chinese lineage or zong-zu. Composed of blood, land, and ritual, the symbolic system defines the fundamental ideology of the zong-zu, which, in turn, sanctions the rules of behavior provided by its normative system. The primary functions of the normative system are to cope with the problems of meaning, to offer a meaningful life and social order, and to adapt. But there is no one-to-one correspondence between the symbolic system and the normative system, where an array of viable alternatives is available. In the case of the zong-zu, these alternatives can be subsumed in terms of blood tie, divine land ownership, and ancestor worship, which set the framework for examining the strategies adopted by the Tangs of Lung Yeuk Tau in the recent decades.
520 $a It is shown that despite a decline in the traditional functions of the Tang lineage at Lung Yeuk Tau, its fundamental values and beliefs are very much alive. This gave rise to strategies that enabled the Tangs to stand up to the pressure of modernization for change. Not only has this lineage tightened its rank and file, reformed its corporate property, upheld the system of divine ownership, and persisted in ancestor worship, but the Tangs are actively engaged in the market economy and have reclaimed the dominance of local politics as well. The Chinese lineage is much more adaptable than has been assumed by previous studies.
