Under the background of globalization, with the further development of "cultural turn" and "space turn", the regional social culture has become an important part of the study among several cross courses. In addition, with the relaxation between Taiwan and Mainland, the Taiwan area which has the unique geographical environment and immigration history increasingly become the research hot spot. In history, Taiwan is a mainland immigrants’ social. The mainland Chinese immigrants and their descendants promote the development convincingly.And they brought the mainland’s folk customs, economic relations and cultural tradition.Based on the literature review, the role of the mainland immigrants and their descendants in the social and cultural construction process is the research focus. Moreover, tee paper analyzes the expression of Taiwan’s cultural landscape and explains the reason in the perspective of cultural ecology.The research results show that:the mainland immigrants to Taiwan started from Ming and Qing dynasties, then moved on a large scale, and continue to move in Taiwan up to now. The mainland immigrants offered large energy to promote the Taiwan’s land development and economic development.Also they brought of various economic relations and the cultural tradition in mainland to Taiwan society, especially in Fujian and Guangdong provinces. In immigration process, the villages generally are formed by geopolitical relations.And in the long run, residents has been the harmonious relations through the assimilation and integration by exchange and trade, intermarriage, the government’s instruction.Then they builds a multi-racial society. On culture, on the one hand, the society is constructed with religious. Because the early inhabitants are worshiped their own gods, the worship circle generally distributed as a dot as family or the common ancestral home. With the transition from immigrant society to settled society in Taiwan society, the worship circle expand gradually,so there are more worship circle covering the entire town beyond the settlement, ancestral home. On the other hand, the society is constructed with education. In Ming and Qing dynasty, the culture in mainland were transplanted to Taiwan.In Taiwan, the imperial test was put forward. this promoted the development of Taiwan society, and make Taiwan from one land of barbarians to a confucian of the township. On the political relations, on the one hand, the society is constructed with the administrative settings. The jurisdiction by the Chinese government of Taiwan can be traced back to The Three Kingdoms period. To the Qing dynasty, the range was extended to the island. These all provide political basis for spreading and integration of Chinese culture. On the other hand, the society is constructed with identity politics. Local strength especially social sports factors in different periods, promoted the Taiwan society to complete the construction of "provincialism, ethnic identity". And people further realize that the Taiwan society of ethnic differentiation is the unity of heterogeneity and homogeneity in fact. Kindred Chinese culture create the common foundation for the reunification of the motherland and the island’s ethnic fusion. In the landscape construction and expression of culture, along with the construction of Taiwan society, part of the mainland cultural landscape are transplant to Taiwan directly, such as last name landscape. At the same time, in the process adapting to the environment, Taiwan forms a fused cultural landscape, like toponym landscape (topography and products name), dialect landscape (Fujian and Guangdong dialect in Taiwan), religion landscape (three mountain king to report culture), ethnic landscape (the localization of Ping Po), the political ecology (Nationalist party and Democratic progressive party)etc. so on the background of the special geographical environment and development between both sides and on the basis of the immigration and cultural integration, Taiwan social cultural is constructed.
