True colors This chapter is probably the general introduction of this book. "From the grassroots level, China society is local." In this chapter, Fei Xiaotong defines the grassroots level of China society as the countryside, which has three characteristics: first, "rural people can't live without soil." Rural people take farming as the most common way of making a living, so they know the value of soil best.

Second, the liquidity is poor. People who make a living from agriculture "stick to the land" does not mean that the rural population is fixed, but that the relationship between people and space is not flowing. They moved to another place and maintained isolation and separation.

Third, the acquaintance society. This slow population movement in rural society makes rural life full of "local" characteristics, living in the countryside and staying in the countryside. Therefore, rural society is a society between acquaintances, which is the freedom of "doing whatever you want".

This chapter describes the foundation of China society, which is also the foundation of the whole book. The mode of post-text differences and the root of Geming shafter lie in this "locality".
