The Ningxia region has been known for its dryness and lack of rain.The gods based on the raining activities are the most important and unique gods in the region.At the same time,the belief in Fang God also plays an important role in the development of local society.This article is based on the belief of the gods,which is spread among the Han people in the Tongxin area.It is based on the belief organization of FangGod Through the study of different types of belief organizations,this article further explores the realization of FangGod beliefs to realize the village people.Integrate effective ways to explore the relationship between gods and local communities.In the Ningxia region,the relationship between FangGod beliefs and local societies mainly embodies the integration of Big Fang with small Fang.The local community formed the Big and small Fang centered on the belief of Fang God.Small Fang is a village belief community formed around the village Fang temple.“Big Fang” is a collection of small Fang and is a community of regional beliefs.Big Fang gathers at the heart of the “Lian Hua Mountain”,and integrates the small Fang of the region through the “Green Seed Water Club” held every year in Lianhua Mountain to form a regional community of beliefs.The "Green Crops Water Club" is an important key to the interaction between small and Big fang in the local area.There are two aspects in the Qingmiao Water Conference: First,the small Fang to the generous mountains and the request for rain,and second,the generous trip to the small Fang And broadcast welfare.Regardless of whether it is the day-to-day service of God or the provision of water for the Asahi River during the Young Crops Water Conference,there is a systematic system.The villagers in different villages construct the entire area based on common value recognition.The endogenous order.The regional community of gods and beliefs uses the Fang of different geographical areas as the boundary,and in turn distinguishes the relationship between “inside” and “outside”.The side of the people protected by each side is the disciple of the gods and is the “inside” of the regional community of beliefs,but this boundary is closed.The regional community of faith is not only a combination of different families in the area,but also a stable social structure based on common beliefs and fixed rituals.The external part of the regional faith community is the acquaintance society of the internal members of the Fang and is less mobile in rural society.Therefore,the process of formation and sustainment of the regional community of faith reflects the fact that the acquaintance society living in the countryside has broken through the small-scale recognition standards of relatives and blood relatives,realized regional integration and recognition,and promoted the orderly order of local communities.
