Local China is summarized in each chapter.

Each chapter of Native China is summarized as follows:

1. The first chapter is Native Nature. Mainly speaking, the grass roots of China society are local, and rural people can't live without the soil, taking the land as the root to live and communicate in the acquaintance community.

2. Chapter 2: Writing in the Countryside. Mainly speaking, because of the relatively closed living environment, rural people are narrow-minded and have limited knowledge, and they don't value words and experience.

3. Chapter III "Re-writing in the Countryside". Mainly speaking, the rural society is a face-to-face community, with the same experience and no need to resort to the same language.

4. Chapter IV "Differential Sequence Pattern". Mainly speaking, the traditional social pattern in China is a social pattern that is linked with private as the starting point and self-centered, and this pattern is flexible.

5. Chapter 5 "Maintaining Private Morality". Mainly speaking, in the pattern of difference order, social relations are gradually pushed out from one person to another, which is the increase of personal contact.

6. Chapter VI Family. Mainly speaking, the family is a fertility community composed of parents and children. The family in China is not a simple fertility community, but also an institution with political, economic and religious functions.

7. Chapter 7 "There are differences between men and women". Mainly speaking, the relationship between men and women must have an arrangement, so that there is a clear boundary between them.

8. Chapter VIII "Rule by Rites". Local social order is not spontaneous. It is not that in a small country where few people have heard of each other, no matter how old or dead, order can only be established by everyone's instinct or conscience. The establishment of order must be maintained by external forces. In a society ruled by law, of course, it is state power, while in a traditional local society, it depends on "ceremony".

9. Chapter 9 No Litigation. In handling cases in rural society, there is a common reason that "this child is not a good thing since he was a child". Such a criterion is obviously not conducive to distinguishing right from wrong. Elders often have moral considerations when dealing with cases. Modern law gives people the impression that moral factors are increasingly excluded. Judges can only hear cases according to regulations. Law is just a tool, neutral, and does not play the role of moral judgment.

1. Chapter 1 Politics of Inaction. Power can be divided into two views: one is social conflict, that is, some people rule and oppress others, and the ruler drives the ruled to act according to his own wishes. There are different levels of society, and both the government and the country are based on class struggle, which can be called tyrant power.
