After reading the book "Native China", we can write that Mr. Fei Xiaotong raised the issue of group rights in the book, which led to the discussion of the social structure. He believed that the creed of "everyone cleans his own door, never mind the frost on others' houses" in China rural society was not a simple personal psychological phenomenon, but was formed by the unique social structure.
The book compares the social pattern in the West with that in China's rural areas, and points out that the western society is like a group pattern of bundling firewood, and each firewood belongs to a certain bundle, bundle and handle in the whole picking, and each firewood can also find firewood with the same bundle, bundle and bundle, and it will not be chaotic if it is clearly tied.
After reading the essay
However, the pattern of rural society in China is a poor order pattern, which is similar to the ripples pushed out in circles when a stone is thrown on the water. Everyone is the center of the circle pushed out by his social influence, and the circles pushed out by the ripples of the circle are related, and the circles used by everyone at a certain time and place are not necessarily the same.
in the group structure, members follow the same system and form an orderly * * * isomorphism. In the differential order pattern, it is not the case. Everyone takes himself as the central point and follows a * * * identical system construction method to derive their own social relationship network.
moreover, due to the different thickness of the central power, the radiation degree of the social relationship network derived from it is also different, which is the scalability of the differential order pattern mentioned by Mr. Fei Xiaotong in his book. In a group society, everyone exists as a part of the whole society, thus forming a regular and orderly * * * isomorphism.
However, in the rural society, the social division of labor is relatively simple, people attach importance to the bond function of blood and family ties, and the scope of production and life of social members is naturally relatively stable, and it can even be said that there is some occlusion. Therefore, the social relationship network in the rural society is basically connected by kinship, and they start from themselves and take themselves as the central point when constructing social relations.
From the closest kinship, it gradually extends outward, from near to far, from close to sparse, and finally it can even include the social relations formed in the whole society. Everyone constructs his own unique social relations system through the same set of construction methods.
