Features: This survey required handing over the signboard of "China Ethnic Village Survey Site" to the village. Although the task was simple, it held great significance. It signified that the ethnological theoretical community would strengthen connections with grassroots herdsmen in ethnic minority areas and carry out ethnological shadowing research. By completing this task well, our survey team paved the way for ethnological shadowing research. Based on this understanding, we discussed with fellow villagers and grassroots cadres, and specially arranged a handover ceremony at Machangtan. It is a spacious grassland in Hongshiwo Township, known for its beautiful scenery and being one of the newly developed green tourism attractions. The area attracts a large number of visitors, making it convenient for expanding influence.
