Sacrifice is an ancient ritual. Ancients sacrifice almost everything,but for various of historical social and people's own reasons, many of the sacrifice disappeared from the historical stage and people's view. Fortunately, some little-known rituals are survived by the powerful life vitality in some poor border villages far from the city noise. The sacrifical ritual of the mountains in Yuluo that investigated by the writer is a typical example. Based on a great quantity of domestic data ,I found that only the folklore related to the surface through a brief description about the sacrifical ritual of the mountains.There is no in-depth study in any subjects. To fill this gap, as a rural sociological researcher, I conducted a long-term and large number of field research to analyze and interpret the hidden profound historical significance and the significance of social reality of the ritual from the perspective of a sociology researcher. Standing in the the starting point that small local insight into the larger society, the loan falls onto a tiny window of this village, in the context of history in the country - a great social environment, to social change, social structure, people's value belief, mental state, behavior and gender roles in various fields, a series of changes, after all, an academic breakthrough. In this paper, the state - social theory and gender theory are two theories as a guide, and the presence of countries throughout the ritual to the State Suspension, from lack of female in ritual to the emergence as two main types, not only comprehensive and detailed description of the rain fell Village mountain ritual process and the reduction of the ritual in true mysterious objects, discourse, symbolic behavior, then, the article into practice on the survival of the mountain exploration, pushing performance falls onto the logic of living in this village to understand the impact of village life is no longer just an important force in the administrative power of state power,civil authority,pai,a small family of power can not be ignored. The pen continue to track the changes to the national power structure changes under the village form of society, as well as the changes on the various implications of the ritual itself, from the state appeared at the ritual - the ritual shape - Acquisition ritual - National exit - independence of the process of the ritual, to change the power structure of village one of the reasons. From the lack of women in the ritual to the women in the ritual, not only women made a place in the ritual in the village, and through the launching pad makes women hold up half the sky in village life, the improvement of women's social status and the re-construction of gender in the village community,the village power structure adjustment and the reasons for the interpretation of the corresponding bis.
