The paper takes the native religious identity of the Yangguang people in Kapu,Guizhou as an object,and discusses how to construct the native religious identity,based on “Blood” identity,through rituals,myths,spaces and clergies.On this basis,I will discuss the functions,roles and characteristics of the kind of religious identity,and then analyze the intension and significance of Chinese religious identity.Yangguang people in Kapu are identified as the Maonan ethnic group in National Recognition.There are some differences between them and the Maonan ethnic group,which have their own uniqueness.They use blood identity as the basis of defining the ethnic identity.Being located in the depths of the mountains,they can remain in a closed state with the outside world for a long time and maintain the unique culture,customs and beliefs of the ethnic group.At the same time,after experiencing ethnic identification,the whole ethnic group also pays attention to the inheritance and development of their own culture.Today,even with such frequent foreign exchanges,the native religious identity of Yangguang people still have an important role and value,and its identity function and uniqueness are more powerful than other ethnic group around.Therfore,the paper plays an important role in the study of the theory and reality of Yangguang ethnic group by discussing the native religious identity and thinking about the influencing factors of the ethnic religious identity.Ethnic religious identity shows different forms,functions and characteristics due to different ethnic groups and religious beliefs.China is a multi-religious country,and various religions leaves their footprints on this land.The native religion is the belief of many ethnic group in China since ancient times.Compared with other institutional religions,it shows different characteristics,because it grows together with ethnic groups,takes root in all aspects of ethnic culture and society,and naturelly forms a connection with the main body of belief.It is because of the intertwined relationship between the native religious culture and the culture of the belief ethnic group that the belief culture gradually internalized into the living customs,behavior mode and thinking mode of the ethnic group,affecting the spiritual world of the whole ethnic group and shaping the cultural gene of the ethnic group.At present,the study of the native religion in the field of religion in China is on the edge,and few scholars focus on this belief.This paper chooses the native religion as the research object,which makes the article unique and significant.This paper mainly uses the methods of interview,field investigation,literature,comparative research,etc.On the basis of reading literature and field surveys,this article sums up the relevant materials.The article presents the structure of ethnic religious identity with the acquisition,construction,function and influence,and interfering factor.The Yangguang ethnic group is a ethnic group based on blood identity.Based on this,the religious belief with “ancestor belief” as the core and the corresponding core of religious identity are formed.The native religion grows with the ethnic group,which naturally provides the special belief environment for the ethnic group members,and obtains the ethnic basis of its identification,continuation and inheritance.Through the repeated practice of rituals and myths,and the sacred transformation of spaces,the religious identity is internalized in the psychological consensus of the ethnic group and extended to the ethnic life and behavior patterns,thereby further consolidating the religious identity.The article discusses and summarizes the function and role,and influencing factor of the native religious identity.It is precisely because of the “nativeness” of religion and the influence of blood identity that the boundary of the native religious identity coincides with the boundary of the ethnic identity,and the identity of subject of belief embodies the identity of the ethnic group members,forming the closedness of the religious belief.Therefore,under such influence,the Yangguang people's native religious belief are internalized into the psychological consensus,thinking mode,behavior mode and living custom of the ethnic group members,and also has a unique function and influence on the development of Yangguang people,especially it is to minimize that the impact of ethnic integration on ethnic group in the era of rapid globalization.In summary,this paper takes the native religious identity of Yanggung people in Kapu,Guizhou Province as the research object,and discusses the core,construction,function and role,characteristics and influencing factors of Yangguang people's religious identity.It not only discussed the native religious identity of Yangguang people,but also considers and talks about the
