ABSTRACT

Wedding culture is a vehicle to show the history, culture, and beliefs of a nation. As one of the Chinese minorities, Korean minority traditional weddings also reflect the unique ethnicity of Korean minority people. However, with the popularity of modern weddings, more and more people have abandoned traditional Korean minority weddings. This paper uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative research to explore the situation of Korean minority wedding heritage among immigrants and indigenous Korean minority people. A comparative study was conducted using the living environment as the variable. From an anthropological perspective, qualitative and quantitative studies were conducted in parallel. The conclusion is that people have greatly diluted Korean minority traditional weddings regardless of where they live, and the dilution is very serious in the out-migrated areas.
