Features: The formation and development of Bai ethnic family culture are closely related to the external environment, especially the influence of Han culture. Han culture continuously enters Bai ethnic areas through mobile populations, both impacting the traditional Bai ethnic family culture and preserving and promoting its core values. This leads to the exchange, integration, and conflict between Bai ethnic culture and Han culture, resulting in the emergence of new characteristics in Bai ethnic family culture and its continuous development. The book is divided into four parts: Part I is a background analysis and theoretical framework, primarily discussing the purpose, significance, research methods, and writing approach of the topic. It also defines key concepts such as family, family culture, and population mobility, and reviews previous research on population mobility and Bai ethnic family culture in Bai ethnic areas. Part II introduces the population mobility in Bai ethnic areas before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Part III focuses on Bai ethnic family culture, exploring its development process, composition, functions, and characteristics. Part IV primarily analyzes the impact of population mobility in Bai ethnic areas on the transformation of Bai ethnic family culture and discusses the future trends of Bai ethnic family culture.
