In current Chinese society, there are such paradoxes:Guided by the goal of socialist modernization construction in our country "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony", do not form a culture "proud to rich, ashamed of the poor", also do not really advocate and cultivate a trend that positive or showing wealth. Instead, in a considerable number of areas, we are not ashamed of the poverty, otherwise proud of poor. Today, GDP as a measure of competitiveness, local governments are based on the growth of GDP as an important reference for development and competitiveness, also with the growth of GDP as achievement levels’s reflecting, however, in some local governments frequently appear some strange phenomena such as "bright poverty","return to poverty","proud to poor" and "Race" become poor counties have to attract the attention and thinking of sociologyThis article select Longnan city in the western provinces as a research object, use literature research method and case studying,through discourse analysis of relevant documents and analysis of typical cases, rendering the game and game logic about the support of national poverty reduction resources and policies between local government and central government. On this basis, explore the cultural and institutional factors that exist about "poor glory" and "bright poverty" phenomena in further, in order to do a reasonable explanation for this paradox, through sociological analysis and thinking,"Poor glory" and "bright poverty" phenomenon have occur, because there is a "poverty culture" in community, Under the influence of traditional ideas such as "cry children has milk to eat" and "do not care less but not average","poverty culture" has pour down into "culture of fighting for poor" in current of poverty policy, the defects and missing of poverty system is fundamental causes that make this change. West area has advantage with natural resources but status of general poverty let "rich in poverty" became a sad for west people. National chess strategies and "Easternism" development ideas not only create "West problem", also formed a vicious circle that western resources are plundered, capacity for sustainable development has been diminished, local governments face the pressure from government achievements, had to be find outside income like crazy.West is always associated with poverty, backwardness, closed, conservative in the words atmosphere that be constructed, which lead the practice to complain poverty, shouting poverty and running poverty become a subjective consciousness in the west, lacking of initiatives to achieve poverty reduction.Under the mind-set of national regional development and the words construction of the western region,the so-called "poor glory" phenomenon is not accidental, but inevitable, a necessity of logic hidden in a seemingly accidental appearance. How to digest "culture of poverty" and the negative social effects form "poor glory" phenomenon, our country should be change "easternism" development strategy, perfect and sound poverty system, transform thoughts on poverty ideas, with a wider vision to make considerations about the development of western and China.
