Takinging the clan, the tribe and the tribe alliance as the foundation (by blood relationship principle primarily) or name's of the Morgan clan society is the traditional Kazakh society's basic structure, and traditional Awel is the most basic unit of Kazak social organization. Nomadism about in search of pasture, the production life style , and the inheritence of the paternal line , in the forming process of traditional Awil plays an critical role and its scale is determined by its economic status.Traditional Awil's member's blood relationship and the economical attachment relations play an indispensable part in the composition and the maintenance of traditional Awil. In the traditional Kazakh society, the Awil Buss(head) plays the basic unit superintendent's role. A man with an abilitiy to organize or persuade every member of Awil as well as much experience and recognized by all of the Awil's members is appointed to the position.He possibly is the richest herd household in the Awil, possibly an experienced one , possibly one from the poor household with the ability to manage and organize, and possibly a religious leader and so on.Traditional Awil is the paternal line group which is composed of the same ancesstors , which brings a sense of teamwork to each member, and enables each member to have the intense cohesive force. Therefore, traditional Awil serves as the centripetal force, the cooperation function, the basic unit of solving disputes and the effective tool of realizing the social control. Traditional Awil is an animal husbandry production organization of nomads like Kazakh , formed in order to adapt themselves to the lifestyle of animal husbandry, and therefore, it plays a certain part and brings a sense of life security to each member. Each member relies on the community of Awil to meet the needs of each other. In the traditional Kazakh society, the variety of ceremonies like wedding ceremony, funerals and the art and sports activities such as horse racing, chase of girl, aytes take Awil as the unit to be held ,and therefore, traditional Awil is a source of Kazakh traditional culture and a carrier or a place of traditional culture.Traditional Awil after the late of 1950s basically disintegrated,"Awil"the terminology conception also changed: From the the social organization which shows the blood relationship to the concept expressing the geographical relations such as"township","village","hometown". Awil , the evolution from the tradition to the modernization, reflects the change of the traditional Kazakh social structure. On the other hand, it reflects the evolution from the recognition of ancesstors and tribes to that of region. The vicissitude of traditional Awil is the result of the intrinsic and the external factor. Especially, it is the change taking place under the changes of big climate such as the replacement of social change and the political change. Especially form of society's change, political system's change and so on vicissitude which occurs under the big society's vicissitude. The intrinsic factor is the change of the life style, the population to the livelihood pressure, the idea evolution which is caused by the external culture's shocks and so on; The external factor firstly is the big society's vicissitude, the national policy adjustment and the guidance.By 1984, the countries of the generation after the family contract responsibility system, the traditional Awil have the opportunity to replicate, but the pressure of population on the livelihood of the traditional constraints of the complex is Awil. National settlement policy, the evolution of the concept of objective factors and subjective factors to speed up or nomadic herders to settle in the production of life-style changes. In 1984 Awil the evolving relationship between members, in the process of settlement was destroyed. In the process of settlement, and then can not consider this aspect of blood relationship.Modern Kazakh's Awil in more situations, according to the national administrative area division's one kind by the geography relations primarily, the township which, the village or the native place by the different clan, the different tribe and other national members is composed, may also say that is one kind of basic unit administrative unit.Awil changes the traditional process, in fact, the traditional process of social changes in Kazakh. Blood relationship from tradition-based Awil to become the basis of geopolitical relations in the village - Awil modern changes in social structure and so on;Awil bass the evolution of the role of management and other social changes; grass-roots social organizations - the traditional Awil the disintegration of other social change organizations;Amenger such as the disappearance of the institution of marriage, seven generations of the weakening of the system outside the marriage, such as changes in social systems. Awil changes the traditional process is Kazakh evolution of traditional culture. On the one hand, the changes in the traditional Awil actually changes the social structure of Kazakh, and Kazakh traditional culture in a certain sense, this is a product of social structure. Therefore, this in the changing social structure resulted in changes in traditional culture. On the other hand, changes the traditional process of Awil actually settled from nomadic to nomadic way of life changes in the production process; from kinship-based, by the same grandfather, composed of a single communityof people to a geographical-based, from different tribes, composed of different nationalities and diverse cultural, multi-ethnic community. Thus the concept of Awil or changes in the evolution of surface reflection of the nomadic Kazakhs changes in social and cultural issues.
