The population migration economic has an important role in economic development, regional cultural exchange, ethnic, generation and integration.This paper attempts to "religious ecology" point of the investigated population dynamic effects of migration on the religious ecology, by contrast Jingyuan County, two major migration to explore in a relatively closed environment, within the same religion ecological structure adjustment and evolution of the characteristics, as well asin the relatively open environment, the evolution of religious ecological structure and the characteristics of the adjustment.This article involves the Jingyuan where has been two major population migration activities in the late Qing Dynasty and the1980s. The population migration activities in the late Qing Dynasty has changed the original population structure, the believer in the scale structure has undergone great changes,so that Buddhism and ancestor worship, religious ecological structural change to the Islam-based religious ecological structure. At the same time, due to the restrictive policies of the location and road volumes, this region is relatively closed, under this environment,Internal Islamic, denominations obviously divided and have the regional characteristics.The religious economy and the secular economy are intertwined,Church education flourished, Official increasingly decline.And Diaozhuang movement has a relatively open environment, the steady economic development, increasingly frequent cultural exchanges. Different denominations between Islam has a conflictbut in this environment, they tend to be more "seeking common ground"instead of "divergent".The influence of economic and cultural to religion has enhanced.The focus of people's lives gradually transferred to the secular life from the religious life.Comparative study can conclude that:Population migration can change people's natural environment and thus affect the economic and cultural level of society, condition the relatively closed or open external environment to religion. In different environments, the ecology of religion is not a single, fixed, but according to environmental change, showing different characteristics through adaptation.In a relatively closed environment, although the external conditions is limited, but by people's attitudes, religious pattern is relatively stable, religious economic and cultural development than the secular education; intra-religious adjustment is made by the religious upper; In the relatively open environment, by the development of economic and cultural, people's attitudes change makes the pattern of religious changes and the influence of economic and other factors has strengthen; The right to the adjustment of the internal religious from the religious upper transferred to the hands of ordinary believers. In addition, the proportion of the population caused by population migration, changes in the distribution will have a major impact to the religious ecological structure (sect proportion, distribution patterns, etc.), especially such as the Hui ethnic group,almost all the people who believe in Islamthis feature that will be more obvious.
