Abstract：

Crossborder ethnic marriage is a special form of marriage that is found in border areas.Although there is a historical basis and it is sanctioned morally， it is characterized by loose unions with no legal certification.This eventually has impacts，either positive or negative，on social management and social stability in the frontier region.In the areas along the long border of China，the phenomenon of crossborder ethnic marriage does not lack written documentation，and appears in various kinds of media.However，in terms of the current focus of domestic academic circles，the phenomenon of crossborder ethnic marriage in the sinovietnam border area is of particular concern.Thus，this area has become one with typical case studies of crossborder ethnic marriage in Chinas border areas.Crossborder ethnic marriages among the frontier people who live in the SinoVietnam border area is a historical phenomenon.However，it was not until after the founding of New China （1949）that cases of crossborder ethnic marriages were systematically registered，and the data became more accurate.However，because of the mobility and hidden nature of the people involved with crossborder marriages，it makes the statistical data in the ChinaVietnam border area less reliable.Instead of having specific data，we can only have estimates.

This feature is more prominent in Funing county of Yunnan province，which has more than 70 kilometers of border with Vietnam.Funing has two townships which directly border on Vietnam，Tianpeng township and Muyang township.The phenomenon of crossborder ethnic marriage in Funing concentrates almost exclusively in these two townships.The ethnic diversity and complexity in crossborder ethnic marriages are worthy of the attention and indepth study of various academic circles.The author of this article has been concerned about this special form of marriage for many years，and has conducted followup surveys on it.Based on the data and materials collected from this survey，this article discusses the present situation，and the social impacts，as well as social problems caused by this phenomenon，and then puts forward suggestions and countermeasures in terms of the problems.

In the preface of this article，the author provides a literature review of the study of transnational marriages in the SinoVietnam border area.It specially focuses on an introduction to the research situation in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces，and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages in the two areas.Through a comparative analysis，the author states clearly the innovativeness and uniqueness of this research.
