perspective to look at gift property from the expressive instrumental to the diachronic changes.The introduction part mainly for "gifts" of the related research both at home and abroad,and respectively presents the basic concept,the function of the present classification,presents the operation of the logic and the localization of Chinese present a case study in detail from four aspects such as comb,and the research ideas,research significance,research methods and the innovation of this article made a detailed instructions,through the solid preparation for the next study to lay the foundation.The first chapter is a holistic description of the rural fieldwork in this article.First of all,the village of Q village,which is based on blood ties,makes the village more cohesive.Second,the relatively flat landscape makes Q village a cluster of contiguous features.These characteristics make the distribution of village information unimpeded,and also provide great convenience for the villagers in Q village.In addition,since the founding of the rural policy changes several times to significantly impact the country,in the society as a whole environment of Q village is also relatively concentrated presents an overview of the whole development of Chinese rural society,we will be affected by the Q village summed up the change process of the commune period

in a different family development cycle of the participants in the gain and loss in interpersonal communication is not able to realize the dynamic equilibrium.At the same time,the Chinese concept of face in the gift of interpersonal communication,especially to alert is as social resources exchange carrier relationship logic have the upper hand,a gift has become a tool to obtain benefits and resources,some beneficial to its own utility purpose as the logical starting point of instrumental gift.Chapter 4 refers to the vocabulary of "breaking" to sum up the difficulties faced by social

effect on the rural society.The fifth chapter is the preliminary discussion and conclusion,the village of Q from expressive gift to the change of the instrumental gifts,try to from such aspects as individual consciousness and the economic rationality is analyzed.Contact full text content,at the end of the paper the following conclusions:first,the flow of the gift is a way of individual or group action,gift for individual social interaction,to form a new social interaction provides a great possibility,but present in the specific expression in the interpersonal communication is the result of many factors after the"connection";Second,with the ritual of instrumental gift purpose emerge in endlessly,presents the long cycle cost means "overflow" gift cost burden,in the final analysis are the economic problems.Gift to "ritual" and monetization makes economic rationality into the Q village every aspect of interpersonal communication,makes the purpose of minimum cost and returns the largest gift into an investment exchange.For Q village in interpersonal communication from the expressive gift to the change of the instrumental gift,we can make this change due to a rapid development in modern society.
