Résumé Le système parental fait partie importante de la recherche esthétique. Surtout en Chine, les relations parentales jouent un rôle très important dans les relations sociales humaines et sont devenues le noyau dans le contact humain. Cette position du noyau apporte des influences très grandes aux relations sociales chinoises et le sytème politique. Cependant, renforcer la recherche du système parental de la Chine est très important pour rechercher et connaître le développement social, économique et politique de la Chine. L’ethnie Bai est une ethnie très influencée par la culture de Han. Connaître son système parental est aussi favorable à connaître les contacts et les échanges entre Han et l’ethnie Bai. Cette thèse fait une bonne description surplace de la vie d’un village de l‘ethnie Bai – un des groupes minoritaires de la région Yuxi de la province de Yunnan en Chine. Elle fait surtout une recherche sur son origine, sa répartition, ses organisations parentales, ses clans ainsi que son développement d’aujourd’hui.

摘 要 親屬制度是人類學中研究的一個重點。尤其在中國,親屬關係在人們的社會關係中佔據了極為重要的地位,成為中國的人際交往的核心。由於親屬關係在中國人的社會交往中佔據的這種核心地位,從而對中國的社會關係以及政治制度都產生了極為深遠的影響。因此,加強對中國的親屬制度的研究,對於研究和理解中國的社會以及政治、經濟的發展都是極為重要的。白族是一個受到漢文化強烈影響的民族,瞭解它的親屬制度,對於理解漢族和各民族之間的交往與融合也是非常有益的。本書是對生活在中國雲南省玉溪地區的一個少數民族—白族--村落生活的實地描寫。主要探討了這一地區白族的來源、分佈、家族組織、宗族譜系以及在今天的發展。
關鍵詞:雲南;白族;大姓制度;婚姻制度;禮俗;宗法制度;稱謂
