Features: To better understand the formation, repeated transformations, and the emergence and spread of various ideologies in the Qinghai pastoral society, it is necessary to trace back as much as possible a realistic grassland world of the pre-Qinghai pastoral society, which is essential for thinking. And the ideology of this social form is particularly necessary for the conventional linear understanding of primitive society – slave society – feudal society – capitalist society – socialist society (low and high stages). Because when sociology truly refers to human beings themselves, the political line on the one hand makes the power balance in controlling social life in history more clear; but on the other hand, it makes the understanding of people's real ways of survival, life, and social interaction more obscure; and it is even more simplistic for understanding the historical life reality of people in a specific community. The pursuit of hunting survival in the Qinghai grassland world of the pre-pastoral society helps us better regard human society first as a living ecological society, providing intellectual assistance to enter the main topic.
