The middle and lower reaches of Qingshuijiang River have long been one of the focus of producing fir in china. From the Ming Dynasty, the timber started by Qingshuijiang River transported to the Central Plains region as a building material, and even made an important contribution to the Imperial Palace for the capital. For the good quality of wood here, a large number of "imperial business" and the "people business" come Qingshuijiang river to put up timber trade, leading to Jinping as the center of Qingshuijiang river timber trade flourished rapidly. As huge timber profits, the local Dong and Miao people were high on planting, resulting in long-term, large-scale reforestation, artificial commercial forestry gradually developed into a pillar industries that local's survival and community relied on the development. As a result, it lead to a very frequent woodland complex relationship to the assignment of property. Accordingly, civil society would have to sign a large number of forest property in the sale of stumpage, transfer, tenancy and other contractual instruments, mountain forests, forming a unique "contract culture", some contracts have also been preserved by the local villagers.These contracts are honored to have been discovered ,so there are the emergence of Qingshuijiang river study upsurge in the academic .However, these scholars'study are only in the structure of the contract text, history, forestry, economic development, social change, civil law angles of the contracts, but less to study the structure and function of the forestry contract with anthropological theory, almost did not put contract the text related to the specific content of the woodland scene to get a specific investigation. This paper aims at this shortfall, with Qingshuijiang River Jinping County Wendou village contracts as the research object, through the contract documents organize content,On the contract related to a specific forest-depth information on each site reconnaissance. Again with their fieldwork data and the results of previous studies, the author features the use of schools and ecological anthropology theory and methods into a single chapter to link up the contract read as a continuation of the history of space on the stable social networks, and then from the woodland Property maintenance point of view to explain the social functions of forestry and value of contracts and thus study the history of Qingshuijiang River valley of forestry management, and cultural causes of the situation. This research shows that: as a Miao and Dong culture of Qingshuijiang River vally an integral part, Forestry Contracts are the foresters for forest management to a system of guarantees and their function of property rights embodied in the maintenance of the forest, so that forest management can be normal and stable manner. Forestry contracts on forest property maintenance function is also ordered, not only implement, but also to meet forest management in the long-period, all closed, comprehensive utilization and contiguous operations,the four basic requirements ensured forestry to operate effectively, so it set up a "clear property right to operate the main body in place, a clear division of responsibilities and rights, to protect the interests of strict transfer process specifications,Monitoring service to be effective" forestry system, and truly achieve a" mountain has its own master, the master has its own right, the right has its responsibility, responsibility has its profits ", the system is complete and rich in content ,so It become a major cultural forms to regulate the individual behaviors. It was not only to maintain community stability and social harmony, but also to maintain the local ecology, also played an important role.we can say that there is no forestry contract regulates people's behavior, Qingshuijiang River 300 years of forestry prosperity can not be achieved, therefore, forestry contracts was unlock social harmony, economic development, forestry run smoothly, ecosystem stability, the system guaranteed a key in Qingshuijiang River.Today, in order to pursue development and inadvertently, China's forestry management fail to notice a number of institutional guarantees, there is a small amount of local problems, it constraints forestry development. Analysis of the reasons: there is mainly no understanding of the culture; forest management does not meet the four basic requirements. Therefore, I propose whether the contemporary forest management to refer the forestry contract, drawing on the cultural patterns of this Forestry Contract and to maintain the forestry development with the binding effect of culture. so we can use traditional management methods and modern science together to ensure the forestry to develop orderly.I hope the shallow study not only serve as a stimulus in today's China's rural forestry reform and management.but also play the role of reference and inspiration in the ecological maintenance,construction of harmonious society, community economic development.
