This article mainly takes the revision of the genealogy of the Zhou clan of the Han immigrants in the southwestern frontier as a clue to explore how the Zhou clan constructs the clan identity by revising the genealogy,and analyses the identification mechanism of the Zhou clan and how the Zhou clan constructs the cultural capital and social capital of the Zhou clan under the shadow of their ancestors,and the interactive process of establishing the social network in the name of the common ancestors.Common blood relationship and shared collective memory are the two foundations of Zhou clan identity,and also the foundation of cultural capital and social capital construction of Zhou clan.The genealogical revision movement of Zhou clan is the process of their "historical narration" of their own ethnic history,as well as the process of constructing and strengthening clan identity.The ultimate purpose of Zhou clan genealogy revision is to try to construct the cultural capital and social capital of Zhou clan through collective memory of ancestors under the shadow of ancestors,and then to establish a social network conducive to communication and development within clans.The clan life of collective sacrifice and the internal contact and interaction among clans based on the development purpose further enhance the family's sense of identity and belonging.Contemporary clan is not the re-engraving of traditional clan,but the product of modern culture and social environment.With the establishment of Zhou clan,the clan identity has been deeply branded by the times,showing a new trend of development.In the process of building and strengthening the clan identity of the Zhou clan,the clan identity of the Zhou clan has a new trend compared with the traditional form of clan identity.Compared with the patriarchal identity in the feudal era,it has changed from the localized patriarchal identity based on the level of survival to the networked and equal patriarchal identity based on the level of development.This identity is consistent with the core values of socialism and contributes to the stability,harmony and development of families and regions.
