Why is rural society familiar with society?

Rural society is called "familiar society" because it has the following characteristics:

1. Regionality: Local society refers to social organizations and cultural traditions in a specific geographical area. People live, work and communicate in this place, forming a relatively closed social network. Due to geographical proximity and close interpersonal relationships, people have a clear understanding of each other's identities, roles and relationships.

2. Close social interaction: People in rural society usually have long-term life experience and are interdependent. They frequently interact with each other in daily life, participate in the same agricultural, handicraft or other production activities, and face the same natural environment and social problems. This close social interaction has promoted people to better understand each other and cultivated mutual trust and cooperation consciousness.

3. Cultural enjoyment: Rural societies usually share the same cultural traditions, values and customs. People communicate with each other through different languages, religious beliefs, festivals and celebrations. This kind of cultural enjoyment makes people have a deeper understanding of each other's behavior and way of thinking, forming a sense of familiarity.

4. Social structure is relatively stable: compared with urban society, rural society is relatively stable. People's social status and role are usually relatively fixed, and social relations and social norms are also relatively stable. This relatively stable social structure enables people to better understand and adapt to each other's behaviors and expectations.

As a relatively closed social organization, rural society has strong regionality and close social interaction, which makes it easier for people to get familiar with each other and establish deeper social ties in this society. This familiarity is conducive to mutual trust, cooperation and common development among members of society.
