At the beginning of the introduction of Christianity in China,there were many collisions and conflicts between Western culture and Chinese culture.Today,after more than 200 years of communication history,Christianity has taken root in China and has grown rapidly.Instead of registering the church as an integral part of Christianity,its refusal to participate in the Christian Three-Self Church is in a relatively closed and private grey area,and therefore domestic scholars pay less attention to it.This study took a meeting of Changle as an example to experience the process of Christian gathering in a participatory way,observe the ceremonial spread of church life,and use a questionnaire survey to initially understand the basic information of believers and use in-depth interviews to deepen Christian and non-Christian groups.In an attempt to explore Christians’ ways of forming a community of beliefs from a microscopic perspective,they examine the interactions within a society of Changle from the perspective of ritual communication theory;from a macro perspective,they discuss how Christianity as a Western religion enters the public in the Chinese context where traditional practices prevail.The effective way of vision is to describe the way Christians construct their own identity from different perspectives and analyze the unique pattern of Christian identity construction.In the end,the author attempts to deduce from the perspective of social order the negative and stable hidden dangers of the Christian Church represented by a certain club of Changle in the grey zone,and based on the context of China,put forward relevant countermeasures for its grassroots governance.The study believes that government departments must strengthen the governance of microscopic elements such as religious subjects,activity venues,and religious ceremonies.They must also be introduced into a reasonable and legal framework to prevent them from rising from a micro-social factor to a difficult-to-control meso-concept.Social Structure.
