JiangPo,belongs to Foshan Township,Deqin County,Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province,Tibetans accounted for more than 80%, is a typical Tibetan village. Firstly, We investigated two myths about moutain deity on Dorji Pam and GeNi which are spread widly and deeply in JiangPo.From the two myths,We find that JiangPo community structure is always trying to create itself as a " Magic Garden", that is, Jiang Po to witchcraft constantly rejected to Buddist’s konwledge and absorbed the magic to construct their own social, but Tibetan JiangPo’s magic is twofold, one is from local society, one is from the Buddhist, the local witchcraft and "Buddhist magic" continue to gather, Make JiangPo be a world of magic.Through the story of two deities and investigations on the Jiangpo Kamiyama region’s function system, we also see the Kamiyama’s dual structure of JiangPo social structure of importance. Warlike Kamiyama, guardian of the boundary of the JiangPo,Productive Kamiyama maintained yield and prosperous of JiangPo, the dual structure of the Kamiyama become the basic model of JiangPo social structure. And Gangda temple as a main temple organization of religion of Tibetan Buddhism in JiangPo, although has a certain effect on the religious aspects of Jiang Po villager’s self salvation pursuit, but because of the integrity of the AQu culture and group of JiangPo, and the natural repulsion of temples and knowledge of Buddhist,these have not been incorporated into Jiang Po social structure.The maintain of Kamiyama to Jiang Po social structure,is not just stay in the mythical level, it also acts the Tibetan stable symbol system, through the isomorphism with house society, then maintaining the society together. House society is the most basic forms of social organization in JiangPo society, It marks the House name of acquisition and land, dance and other various property possession as the basic characteristic. The isomorphism of Kamiyama and House in JiangPo, presented by the dinner ritual for Three times of year in Darren temple (traditionally a year twice:"Yasui" and "Gensui". Later, the third day of the New Year is later added),this meal is not only village households, and is households and Geni deity, which reflected JiangPo’s social integrity.Geni Kamiyama shows a home state, On the basis of 18 house, there is a bigger house, the house is Geni Kamiyama which is JiangPo overall. The "Yasui"and"Gensui" ceremony was held in the year, is the the practice that JiangPo constantly shape their own social internal integrity.This article is to discuss these content, try to show the "double magic" in JiangPo where Buddhism forces is relatively weakin in the boider of Tibetan. "double magic" in JiangPo,to a certain extent, provides a possibility for understanding the "double religion" in Buddhist Society. JiangPo society depended on warlike Kamiyama and productive Kamiyama based on the division of function of magic showing the complete, internal structure, and through the isomorphism Geni Kamiyama and house, and annual ceremony held, showing the Geni Kamiyama of JiangPo’s property rights of land, but also to ensure the JiangPo social cohesion and constantly updated. JiangPo maintenance and development of the vitality of society itself is derived from the society, is not created from other external forces. However, JiangPo social order is indeed from the sacred symbols in the Tubo Period the legacy of cultural significance, JiangPo internal Kamiyama system is Tibet the first as the society the most basic structure of Kamiyama system performances and reproduction.On the basis of this,we will talk with Pedro Carrasco, an American scholar, who wrote a book named the Tibetan land and polity, a book describing the dialogue, points out that the structure of the Tibetan, community structure can not be ignored the relationship between Kamiyama and land system, social structure.In the cultural system of the surface layer, Tibetan society shows more of the feudal system of color, and not simply stay in the Dalai Lama for the discussion of the center of the"Oriental despotism".
