Features: The main text of this book consists of eleven chapters, which describe and analyze the village history, ecological environment, ethnic population, economic development, social politics, marriage and family, law and social control, national culture, customs, education, and science and technology health of the Gelao people in Hongfeng Village. It should be noted that compared to the original survey outline, the book does not have a dedicated chapter to describe and analyze religious aspects. Instead, the content related to primitive religion is scattered across the "Customs" and "Culture" sections of the book. The reason for this is mainly that the Gelao people in Hongfeng Village only retain some primitive religious rituals in certain festive activities, making it difficult to extract these religious rituals from their customs and general cultural content to form a separate chapter.
