National culture varies from different nationalities. The culture particularity of the areas inhabited by multi-nationalities is its interlaced co-existant culture. Based on the fact finding data collected in the Fuxing village Yundeng county Gansu province ,and recurring to the former researchers' achievement on culture change , national relation and national culture, the article approaches the culture change in the areas inhabited by multi-nationalities from the multidimensional and the comprehensive perspectives of sociology, ethnology and cultural anthropology. The article researches the process of culture change in the areas inhabited by multi-nationality from the following aspects: habitation structure, national intercourse, national intermarriage, national language, religious belief, and nationality awareness etc. Meanwhile the article concludes its impetus lies in tow sides: the internal one which includes the inner factors of culture and its structure change and the external one which is natural environmental change and culture dissemination. Therefore the culture change there is achieved by the three relevant processes: the input of external impetus, the expansion of internal one and the polymerization of the two. The general model of culture change in multi-national inhabited areas is following the three processes: culture conflict, culture adaptation and culture combination and finally forms the new culture situation which is mutually assimilating, promoting and co-developing. Though the value systems differ from countries and nationalities, the globalization and the world economic integration will bring the nation culture to the final combination through the conflict and the adaptation .In the end national culture will take on a new look which is the situation of respective particularity, complementarity and co-prosperity in national culture.
