LongZhuPeng Old Village is a Lahu village at the southwest border of Yunnan Province. As the rights of the nation-state power penetrated the villages and gradually mastered immigrants in the past, the local people created a religious headman system as well as the folklore habits and historical memory integration in order to create guidelines, holiday rituals and symbolic expression called a "ceremony" of faith, as a sign of recognition of ethnic kinship. "Ceremony" borrows the form of a conventional tribal Buddha room and family worship of God which is beyond the scope of administrative villages to build relationships with his son mother Walled Village. The village has become a balance of rights and traditional villages in the country between the rights. This paper attempts to analysis the "ceremony" to reveal how the village responds to the changes in the social environment through the integration of historical memory and the re-creation activety.
