The thesis is trying to discuss the religious culture changes in the ethnic minority migrant villages from the perspective of cultural communication by adopting the research method of ethnography-field work. Long Zui Zi, one village of Wuqingyuan Hui Nationality Atonomous Villages, is taken as a case study in this thesis. Through direct observation, participatory observation and in-depth interview in around a month and four times,and by reviewing the related historical materials and the research results in this field, the investigation is intended to find the answers to the following questions:what is the state of the information flows of the ethnic minority migrant village in the backgroud as an "isolated cultural island" surrounded by Han Nationality? How the religious culture inheritance changes in the history? What are the elements influencing the complicated changes? What are the rules and cummunication patterns of the migrant culture cummunication and changes? What are the influences of the migrant culture on the inner structure and development of the community, etc.?The whole thesis is mainly devided into three parts. The first part is a brief introduction to the research significance, research actuality and research thread of this study. The second part is the main part of the thesis. In this part, it gives an introduction to the history and development of Long Zui Zi.The performance forms, rules, characteristics as well as elements influencing the inheritance and changes in the process of the culture changes, are studied with a common thread as the religious culture inheritance and changes of this migrant village and character-event-scene as a entry point. At the same time, communication elements, processes and the fuctions of the opinion leader are dicsussed with the communication theory. Specifically in the aspect of inheritance, structures and development of the interpersonal relationship in the village, penetration of religion in the daily life, transmission of the religion ceremony, opinion leader and religion identity are described and analysed. In the aspect of changes, the thesis discusses the influence modernization intervention, looseness of the inner village structure, different religious understanding of times producing different people, and the pattern of "marginal margin" formed with Pi Fang Dian. It could be observed that the performance forms of the inheritance and changes are not entirely different and they always interact with each other. The last part of the thesis analyses and concludes on the basis of the second part with the cultural communication theories. Furthermore,the characteristics, rules, fuctions as well as its influences on the village community of the communication in the religious culture are drawn out in such a migrant village.This thesis is an interdiciplinary attempt which intends to explain the anthropology problem with the perspective of culture cummunication and make an "deep description" interpretation of the social phenomenons on the basis of field investigation, hoping to get a better interpretation of the culture changes by combining culture communication studies and culture anthropology.
