The living pattern is regarded as a scene of ethnic exchanges, and a variable. It is the human environment which can affect ethnic relations. Living pattern is an important component of social interaction. The paper research on the living pattern of ethnic group can measure the ethnic relations; and relations between the ethnic groups can also affect their living pattern. The mixed pattern is of benefit to ethnic relations; the segregation of the ethnic communities further brings the alienation between ethnic groups, makes the "prejudice" extends more easily, and the disputes between the communities are labeled as ethnic conflict. From this perspective, living pattern has effect on ethnic relations. On the other hand, the relations between ethnic groups can also influence the living pattern. Development of harmonious relations between the Ethnic leading towards the mixed living patterns; intensive ethnic relations will lead towards living patterns "segregation".Ma Rong who is famous of his research on ethnic group believe that the living pattern of ethnic group have three components:(1) The ethnic population in a region of the geographical distribution; (2) In ethnic areas, rural and urban distribution of ethnic groups; (3) Ethnic resident distribution in a community of a city.

With all of the nationalities living together for a long time in Shawan, there has formed the current residential patterns of ethnicity. This pattern can be researched from three aspects: geographical pattern, urban and rural pattern and community pattern. The reasons which lead to the living pattern of ethnic groups are diversely, such as history, geography, policy, ethnic consciousness, and property, and other factors, different factor leads to different aspect of living patterns.Different residential pattern leads to different ethnic exchange. The living place, workplace and the school are the main areas of association. The government of Shawan implemented the ethnic policy well, which made a good environment for ethnic exchanges. Finally the ethnic relations become symphonious.In this situation, if we want to build a mixed living pattern, and better ethnic relations, the government should make better policy to improve the ethnic relations and develop the ethnic economy, and decrease the gap between urban and rural areas, optimize the industrial structure.
