Community "education"

Community research pioneered the process of sinicization of sociology and constituted a tradition of linking theory with practice, which turns out the basic to "know and transform the society" in Chinese sociology. Given the background of construction of harmonious socialist society and promotion of an ecologically civilized society, society construction is the main themes of our era, which is underpinned by the community construction to a certain extent. A harmonious socialist and ecologically civilized society means a harmonious relationship of human-to-human and human-to-nature. The aim of community construction in this sense is pursuing a harmonious relationship of human-to-human, human-to-nature, which gains a lot of practical significance during the process of all-round community construction in China in town and country.This article is a community research with a object of an ecological migrant community. As a solution of environmental problems and poverty, ecological migration is itself a process of constructing community of ecological migrants, during which the harmony is particularly important and supposed to be pursued all the way. Harmony embodies Chinese traditional core thinking-"Weiyu", which was inherited and carried forward by famous sociologists, such as Pan Guangdan and Fei Xiaotong. This article is a case study attempting to describe the course of ecological migration community shaping and developing with the leading theory "Weiyu" and a case from Qi Panjing Town (E Tuoke Banner Inner Mongolia).Five chapters constitute this article. The first chapter is the preface, which includes the significance of the selected topic, literature review and analysis structure. The author analyses different aspects of ecological resettlement and ecological migrant community with the thought of "Zhonghe Weiyu" in the following three chapters, which make up the body section. The second chapter describes the background, implementation and significance of ecological migration. The third chapter introduces the environment, constitution and characters of ecological migration community from a macro level, which represents the static state of the community. The fourth chapter represents the personalized expression of life experience from a micro level, which is dynamic analysis of the ecological migration community. In the fifth chapter, the conclusion is drew and the view of "zhonghe Weiyu" is further discussed.With the case study on a ecological migration community at Qi Panjing Town (E Tuoke Banner Inner Mongolia), the author argues that ecological resettlement just plays a limited role during the stage of ecological migration community formation and it does not pay enough attention to the ecological protection in the management by objective. It leads to many problems that the ecological migrants have to face. The ecological migration community takes its shape during the process of ecological migration and gets to develop along with the practice of everyday life. Ecological resettlement turns out to be the experience of life practice. The limitation of ecological migration policy squeezes the ecological migrants. Ecological migration needs to improve policies institution and idea. Although "Live in peace and work happily" has been put forward as the aim of the ecological resettlement and ecological migration community construction and the slogan represents the idea of "Zhonghe weiyu", it is far away from "people oriented", harmony of human-to-human and human-to-nature relationship in practical work.The basic ideas of community decide the research approach and limitations. The concept of community in sociology if classically connected with people who live in a same area and have a common collective life. However, the classic community concept is not able to describe and analyse the ecological migration community which is very open, dynamic and mobile. Instead of the process of "from theory to practice", this article attempts to begin with understanding people's everyday life and end up with a open theoretical discussion on adopting the thought of "Zhonghe Weiyu" to improve classic community research, which is typically designed for a closed and completely fonctioned community. "Weiyu" embraces the harmony of separation and integration, which could be interpreted as dialectical unity of inside and outside, exterior and interior, dynamic and static, and provides a new theoretical framework for community study. This approach is from practical life to the community, and then the relationship of human-to-huaman, human-to-nature. This approach makes it possible that the researchers could cross the fixed border to concern about the life practice of people.In conclusion, the thought of "Zhonghe Weiyu" provides:a new theoretical framework to study community with the object of a community. Taking its source from the essence of Chinese traditional culture, Pan Guangdan and Fei Xiaotong's brillant thought "Zhonghe Weiyu" should be properly inherited and carried forward, which will certainly promote the historical progress of sinicization of sociology.
