Min Zu Identity Confirmation And Ethnic Identity

Jin Zhu is the She zu Autonomous Township at Le An county Jiangxi province. In 2002, the local government applied to the upper government for changing the Han zu composition into She zu composition, in order to set up the She Zu Autonomous. Although there have been a lot of changes which do not meet conditions, with the manipulation of the local government and the cooperation of the people ,still the She zu Autonomous Township was set up. As a result, the local government and the people in Jin Zhu obtained the support from the upper part in the next few years .As we know, from the theoretical development and practice after the foundation of our country, the min zu identity was confirmed by the external culture and the self-identity. But in the application of the She zu Autonomous Township, the above standards was only partially practiced to some extent. The benefit was the most important reason which couldn't be ignored. Because of the anticipation of the profit ,the people in Jin Zhu wanted to change their min zu identity with the help of local government. However, the min zu identity confirmation affected the ethnic identity and connection a lot. The local government and the people reconstruct the She tradition ,which not only pushes She zu's culture onto the surge of change, but also strengthen the min zu identity. And the benefit due to the founding of She zu Autonomous Township makes disputes among the groups, changing the ethnic identity and connection.
