Explanation of the concept of vernacular China

The concept of vernacular China is explained as follows:

1. Vernacular China actually refers to a traditional social structure or social pattern in China. In this social structure, a unique network of social relations based on blood and geography is formed with the family, clan, village, etc. as the core. This social structure presents a relatively closed, inward-looking and stable state, and has a relatively strong territoriality and inheritance.

2. What is reflected in Vernacular China is a characteristic of traditional Chinese culture. In traditional culture, people focus on human relationships, moral norms and ritual order, etc., and pay less attention to individual rights and freedom. This cultural characteristic is also reflected in vernacular China, such as the emphasis on filial piety, loyalty and hierarchy in the family, etc., and the emphasis on harmony, stability and norms in the society.

3. Vernacular China also reflects a kind of Chinese attitude and approach to the natural environment. In traditional Chinese society, people tend to regard the natural environment as a part of nature and focus on conforming to and respecting nature rather than over-exploiting and transforming it.

This attitude is also reflected in the architectural style, garden art and agricultural production in Vernacular China, for example, traditional Chinese rural architecture generally adopts adobe houses, focusing on harmonizing and integrating with the natural environment.

Characteristics of the writing of Vernacular China:

1. Short, concise, and succinct: The authors use a large number of examples and clear and concise language to present the characteristics of the complex vernacular society, so that readers can better understand and feel the actual situation in rural China.

2. Focus on practice: the social phenomena and characteristics described in Vernacular China are derived from the author's long-term field investigation and in-depth understanding, and have a high degree of authenticity and credibility. This also provides readers with a more profound and concrete understanding of the real face of rural China.

3. In-depth: Although the content covered is relatively specialized and esoteric, the authors present some complex social phenomena and characteristics in an in-depth manner, enabling readers to better understand and grasp them.

4. Focus on cultural inheritance: the characteristics of rural society described in "Native China" are not only real-life social phenomena, but also a kind of cultural inheritance. In the process of description, the author fully considered the important factor of rural cultural inheritance, and analyzed the connection and conflict between traditional culture and modern society.
