  <content_alt><![CDATA[<p>Tarih ve zamanın birlikte yol alması sonucu, bir k&#252;lt&#252;r mozaiği oluşur. Bir&#231;ok anlam ve &#246;nemi olan<br>k&#252;lt&#252;rel oluşumlar, insanların bir araya gelmesini ve ge&#231;mişleriyle de bağ kurmalarını sağlar. T&#252;rk<br>K&#252;lt&#252;r Tarihi de her biri k&#252;lt&#252;r unsuru olan bir&#231;ok farklı gelenek, g&#246;renek, &#246;rf ve &#226;det barındırır. Orta<br>Asya K&#252;lt&#252;r&#252;’n&#252;n Anadolu K&#252;lt&#252;r&#252; ve İslam K&#252;lt&#252;r&#252; ile sentezlenmesi sonucu oluşan bu farklılıklar,<br>birer zenginlik oluşturur. T&#252;rk K&#252;lt&#252;r&#252;’nde &#246;nemli yeri bulunan, geleneklerin, bug&#252;n de etkisini<br>s&#252;rd&#252;rd&#252;ğ&#252; zamanla bazı değişiklikler g&#246;sterdikleri hatta yok olabildikleri g&#246;zlemlenmiştir.<br>T&#252;rk K&#252;lt&#252;r Tarihi boyunca evlilik gelenekleri de insan yaşamı ve toplum &#252;zerinde b&#252;y&#252;k &#246;neme sahip<br>bir oluşum olarak kendini g&#246;stermiştir. T&#252;rkler tarafından toplumun temel taşı olan ve evrensel mana<br>taşıyan ailenin temelinin, evlilik olarak kabul edildiği ve aile oluşumu s&#252;recinde, evlilik<br>gerekliliklerinin tarihsel a&#231;ıdan incelenmesi sonucu, &#231;eyiz geleneğinin &#246;nemli ve geniş bir yer tuttuğu<br>g&#246;r&#252;lmektedir. Kız evi tarafından geline verilen &#231;eyiz, bir sandıkta biriktirilir ve &#231;eyiz sandığı, bu<br>geleneğin uygulayıcıları a&#231;ısından m&#252;him ve değerli bir anlam taşır.<br>Bu &#231;alışmada da T&#252;rk K&#252;lt&#252;r Tarihi’nde aile kavramı ile evlilik ve &#231;eyiz geleneğine kısaca değinilerek,<br>&#231;eyiz &#231;atısı ve sandık sembol&#252; altında, &#231;eyiz sandığı geleneği incelenecek olup, &#231;eyiz sandığının,<br>k&#252;lt&#252;rel değer olarak &#246;nemi tartışmaya a&#231;ılacaktır.</p>]]></content_alt>
