With consideration to the thought in France in 20th century, this article centers on the concept "body technique" to reconsolidate and reflect the thought of French anthropologist Marcel Mauss. Proceeding Durhkeim school, Mauss found modern anthropology and plan the blueprint for it through provoking two core concepts "L'homme total" and "le fait social total" as the object and methodology. This development is appears in his thinking about body issue. It is not a simple and particular response to body studies in anthropology, but also a foundamental reflection to social science that influences the following generation in social sciences like the structure anthropogy. Furthermore, his insight on the meaning as the effect of postion and structure appears echos the whole thought of 20th century and has its irreplaciable position.
