Pernikahan Semarga Dalam Komunitas Tionghoa Peranakan Di Bandung Pada Awal Abad Ke 20 - Kasus Keluarga Tan Sim Tjong (Marriage Within a Clan in Chinese Society in Bandung During the Early 20th Century– Case of Tan Sim Tjong´s Family)

摘要

Marriage within a clan took place in Chinese society in Bandung during the early 20th Century. It caused culture conflict, but at the same time created a new paradigm for individual freedom when people choice theirs partner without consideration to the family name. The polarity of ideas and their translation into action was typified by the intermarriage between two Tan families. The story of this was published in 1918 in a novel entitled “Rasia Bandoeng” (“The Secret of Bandoeng”). This novel tells the real story of Tan Sim Tjong\u27s family and deals with the conflicts arising from marrying within the same surname group, which was forbidden in the Chinese culture of that period. The people in Bandung know Tan Sim Tjong as Simtjong Alley in the Citepus district of Bandung. The paper takes a historical approach and gives detailed information about Tan Sim Tjong, his heritage and his support for the relationships and marriage within a clan, in order to maintain the local wisdom and the historical development in Bandung.
