How did the emotional color of the word rustic change in China?

People in ancient China had special feelings for the land. Fei Xiaotong said in "Native Nature": "From the grassroots point of view, China society is' local' and' rustic' is considered as contempt for rural people." However, Fei Xiaotong believes that "rusticity" is the best proof of their survival by land. Rural society is stable and relatively static, and the development process is relatively slow. When things in modern society suddenly enter rural society, rural society is exclusive, such as words going to the countryside, and the familiarity between people in rural society makes words redundant; If the rule of law is implemented, the pattern of difference order and the rule of courtesy hinder the smooth implementation of the rule of law. Therefore, to change rural society, we must change its social nature, which is a long and arduous process.
