Any country that is in the transition period of society there will be a series of social problems caused by social instability, which is the same in China. At present, China is in the transition period of from traditional Agricultural society to Modern society, various contradictions and there incompatible factors will be existed. For instance, the "6·28"weng'an accident happened in Guizhou province in 2008, the "7·19"pu'er accident happened in Yunnan province, the "11·7" violence accident of thousands assaulting police in Shenzhen city, in the current situation of building Harmony Society, such series of collective events is the true reflection of disharmony factors. As the main form of social conflict in our country, the intensity and dimension of collective events is intensifying gradually, its frequent happened situation of collective events has been tending to the feature of increasing in number, expanding in scale, diversifying in the participate subject. In the situation of speeding-up Socialist and building Harmony society, there is a great theoretical and practical significance to study the collective events deeply.Standing in the river of transition period, this paper is not to explore simply about the problems such as reason and feature of collective events, but concentrate on analyzing its internal function mechanism. By reference to the "process-event" analysis strategy, based on summarizing the current situation and feature of collective events, the prominent contention in this paper can be summarized as four points:first, from three-dimensional degree of external, internal and stimulus, the happen of collective events can be regarded as the result of structural stress, social exclusion sense and sporadic stimulate. Second, based on the effect of conformability, the collective events in the transition period of society can be divided into rational conformity type and irrational blind obedience type, the former is rational which focus on sticking up for interests and seeking compensation benefits and its emotion is active, the latter is irrational which tends to join the fun, join the crowd and it has a casual and drift emotion. Third, in the respect of producing and evolution, conventional behavior and deviant behavior action are the two endpoint of its action, whether can be controlled within the limits of conventional behavior depend upon the effectiveness of institutional channels. "Sources of conflict-damage to interests-social exclusion-grievances-social conflicts generated" is the producing logic of collective events. As a social conflict, collective events root in a social conflict. At the conflict sources of the defects in transition period, the interests damage, social exclusion, grievances are the pre-conflict conditions, which is existed especially in urban demolition, land acquisition, unemployment and social security, wage arrears and other problems. "Social contradictions-conventional Action-no effect of conventional action and mental crisis arise-deviant action and action upgrade" is the evolution logical of collective events. People suffer from interests damaging, when conventional action in out of effect, they are disappointed, helpless and eager for a justice treatment and this will lead to individual irrational. People out of emotion contral will prone to deviant behavior which means action upgrade. Forth, from the viewpoint of the outbreak process of collective events, in macro-mechanism vulnerable groups stick up for their rights will switch to non-institutional channels on the situation of institutional channels'inefficacy and error correction mechanism's defect. In micro-mechanism the effect of purpose strong, emotional proactive conformity and join the fun, join the crowd blind obedience will have a promote effect to the upgrading of collective events, the participants in the events who have such two psychological effect will promote the scale from a few scale to thousands or larger scale.Although as a common form of social phenomenon, collective events is always means a positive function to social order. In collective events, its irrational blind obedience type, participants'blind obedience and irrational psychological effect will lead to irrational behavior, which will cause harm effect to the society. For the purpose of making the conclusion of this paper with more concrete and persuaded, this paper adopt theoretical research and case analysis method. This paper use "6· 28"Weng'an accident in Guizhou province as a case, through deductive reasoning approach, analyzes the "6·28"Weng'an accident in Guizhou province from the perspective of its background, the macro process and micro process on the premise of combining with the conclusions of this paper.
