Fundamentally, the symbol system of ritual has relationship with human materials reproduction and the reproduction of human beings, so it always changes with the developing of society, also, the practical need. The production and reproduction of the symbolic order come into being is through the use of interpretative rules (meaning) and normative rules (validity), as well as the allocative resources and authoritative resources. In this example, symbolic order can be judge as a ritual system. The ontological security of agent and institutionalized of structure, in the dimension of both time and space rely on the routinization and regionalization activity. The routinization of these activities let it continue in the time coordinate, and reproduce new structure-rules and resources. So, this presentation of ritual becomes a routinization activity and achieves the continuity.The identity model of traditional society is based on blood and area, whereas, modern identity model is based on the trust of abstract system. With the push of history wave, it is expected that LX County would get the repute once more. However, in the context of modernity, economic is being focused, so, how to improve economics becoming the core issue. Traditional culture becoming one of the support, reproducing the traditional culture, make it adapt to identity model nowadays, and in this condition, ancestor worship ritual becoming a confluence of people coming outside and the identity of local knowledge. Yet, judging from another facet, the basic identity of people coming from other places is the identity of lineage. With the arriving of people from other places, the symbolic system reproduced, and the culture identity in LX County is constructed. This is a process of change of ritual; the construction of identity goes with it. The construction of identity is a capitalization process in modern context. Various identity models come into being is the result of reproduction of culture reproduction and culture capitalization, that is to say, the "traditional" local people get community identity; and the "modern" strangers built culture identity of LX County.
