In the boundary of Hubei and Chongqing, because of the uniqueness of physical geographic position and the marginality of administrative district, both the process of industrialization and urbanization and the economic development is relatively slow.The paper takes the live pattern as the breakthrough point, applies the comparison method of diachronic and synchronic. The minority villages of Huang He Township, Shizhu Tujiazu Zizhixian, Chongqing and Wendou Township, Lichuan City, Hu Bei are sampled for microscopic case studying.These two villages are separated by Yellow river whose width there is less than 100 meters, the people of both villages go to the same country fair, intermarry with each other, and make up what the other needs.The different degree of the embedding of administrative authority leads to the different live patterns of these two villages. In Chongqing, the state administrative power embeds to village group and has township under its command. Township government carries out million income project, and advocates the villagers to develop scale economy. The government organizes the villagers from three towns to take advantage of the natural environment and geographical position to plant Capsicum annuum and tobacco on a large scale, forming an integrated system for the procurement of planting, production and marketing, which gained some achievements in creating income and changing the local economic structure.In Hu Bei, the executive power of government doesn’t have those outlying townships under his command, so mighty clan forces exists and have influence on those outlying townships.As a result, the live patterns of villagers reach unanimity no matter in choosing the places out of the countryside in which they struggle for live or in the way of generating revenue.Based on this situation, the paper not only presents the present situation of these two live patterns, but also analysis the different performance of the live patterns of these two villages which is under specific environment and constructed by clan and the authority of countryside to show how the minorities located in boundaries and outlying area makes use of their own advantage to choose the appropriate live patterns, and what kind of difficulties they will come across which have an effect on and lay restraints on their choices and to explore the possibilities and necessity of advocating harmonious growth of regional economy at the background of the development of modernization further.
