ABSTRACT

"Peasant Life in China" is not only a detailed description of various aspects of rural China, but also reflects the functional changes of deep-seated social elements, the historical changes of social structure, the innovation of community research methods, and the value scale of participant observation. From a theoretical perspective, the changes in the functions of various structures described in the book highlight the variability, fluidity, and historicity of social structure functions. From a methodological perspective, first, the flexible application of value principles under the participant observation method ensures the authenticity of data and the achievement of research purposes; second, the initiation of community research at the practical level.
