Jiarong Zang nationality is a branch of Chinese Zang nationality, whose unique culture has attracted social science researcher's attention since 1930s of last century, especially in recent 30 years.the covering researches in history, archaeology and Ethnology has been deepened, but researches in sociology are seldom. I try to focus on Jiarong Zang Nationality in the view of sociology.Nowadays, Jiarong Zang nationality mainly rely on agriculture animal husbandry, "Zhai" is still the main settlement pattern and grassroot organization, where has kept the traditional life style.It is the ideal place to explore how modern elements shock traditional life style. Human relations' social system and basic pattern represent social grassroot structure and picture of community life. Social change unavoidably reflects in various kinds of human relations and communication.The author chose Xisuo Zang nationality village to research Jiarong Zang nationality's traditional structure and modem polarization by qualitative investigation.In traditional Jiarong Zang nationality villages, inheritance and marriage rules which are represented by the "house name" make core family as the basic unit, and rule out the possibility of extended family and religious organization. Kinships among them become loose,but the rate of marriage alliance within the village is very high because incest taboo which is represented by the "house name" gives villagers more freedom to choose their marriage. And villagers also want to control the cost of marriage.A Jiarong Zang nationality village is actually a heavily heterozygote of blood-relation, marriage and place, a boundary of human relations. Human communication reflects superficially similar structures and wholeness. In the past decades,Jiarong area undergone fast,comprehensive and deeply social change in the history,modern politics and economy system in the establishment of Jiarong area brought villages unprecedented influence. The social rank and life customs changed accordingly,the penetration of new ideas and rules weakened the traditional support of daily life.There are signs for human relations to differentiation, modern media and city culture have individualized humans communications.The gap of the income alienated people,the old human relations structure and community harmony face great shock.Currently, Natural and undifferentiated human relations structure in Jiarong Zang nationality village doesn't has substantial change, the coincidence of life style is still the basis of community harmony, traditional etiquette and custom still resist Interest-Orientation stabilize interest conflict, and restrain antagonistic human conflict.
