Abstract:Lao liu zhai is a natural old village membership in Yunnan Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Hekou Yao Autonomous County of Miao, Wan Zi Village committee of Zhuang bridge country.Early migration to Hmongb human ancestors migrated to the old Liu Zhai, no longer migrating south, decided to stay in the residence, so called "old Liu zhai". To make the writing convenient, here we use the "Liu"(surname)instead of "left"(pronunciation of "Liu") as the old Liu village.In the early time, with the Hmongb core family in continuous polymerization of old Liu village, and gradually formed a village community. Old Liu Zhai Hmongb experienced the change of society from the nineteen eighties’ complete stop of the pace of migration, finally formed the settled situation today. The polymerization of Hmongb and emotional is on the basis of discrete ethnic identity, as the core of one family Hmongb migration to somewhere new areas, as long as they can get a better return, and have a new nuclear families migrated to live together. Polymerization and discrete continuous migration of village community of Hmongb, thenwill continue to appear and disappear.Hmongb has free and random migration, breaking the traditional understanding of the human society.when trying to ask why Hmongb migrate, people often say:"It’s better there." Asked whether there is the local blood and in-laws, people will say:"There is brother over there". the constitution of the village community is based on the core family, population migration in the potential to form a "contract", people accept members of ethnic, thereby forming a village community. In the continuous process of migration, more and more people choose to make the village community is not relative to the solidification direction development, and to form a stable social structure and the closed end of the village. In ceremonies and activities, different people will form a ritual right. But in fact, there are popular around:"Everything is done by her family, there is no need for another". The village social structure break in blood and marriage as a link to the traditional, but based on the nuclear family, the social relationship is more flexible.Hmongb’s social boundary openness and freedom of movement of the population is guaranteed during the migration social important factor that steady maintenance, core family aggregation and discrete process is to avoid internal ethnic "anomie" behavior, realize the ethnic boundary stability. In the process of forward movement, village community does not exist long time relatively stable social organization, internal ethnic nor by blood and marriage as a social ties of relationship to maintain social stability and guide the population migration.
