乡土中国读后感

After reading Fei Xiaotong's Rural China, I admired the name of the book before reading it. After reading it, I felt that the core idea of the book is that China's rural society is an extremely stable and slowly changing acquaintance society. \n In a thin book composed of several articles, "The Pattern of Difference Sequence" and "The Order of Ruling by Rites" are the two core articles. "The Pattern of Difference Sequence" tells us that Chinese rural society is a family concept with patrilineal society as its core and extending outward. \n The Order of Ruling by Rites says, \nBecause China's rural society is a very familiar acquaintance society, so in the rural society, people's behavior norms are determined by the "rules" that have been passed down and agreed upon, the grandparents live according to such rules, the parents live according to such rules, in a very slow changing social envi ronment, in a very slow changing social environment. Their own generation can also deal with the contradictions in life according to such "rules". On the contrary, if we use the requirements of the law to forcibly regulate people's behavior, it will often backfire.For example, in ancient times, when cheating was discovered, it was necessary to "soak the pig cage", but from a legal point of view, it was absolutely illegal. When a woman's affair with another person is discovered, the woman's husband beats the man up and causes minor injuries. This is the most normal thing in rural China. However, from a legal point of view, if the man who is beaten sues the woman's husband, the woman's man is likely to be sentenced for intentional injury. Therefore, in many cases, the law has become a means of "suing sticks" to bully the villagersWhether it is the popularization of "writing" or the application of law, the reason why the countryside has not been widely popularized is that in a very familiar and slow-changing society, there is no space for use and soil for production. Similarly, in a very familiar, slowly changing society, many things that we take for granted in modern society will be simplified under that social organization structure. Simplification is also a kind of elimination of the system, or there is no space and necessity for the evolution of the system. In the era of rapid development and drastic changes in modern society, from the perspective of modern people, the environment of "rural China" will gradually change because it is not applicable to modern society. The form of social organization will always change with the change of soil. .
