A Study On The Working Mode Of Duotian Village ——Taking Dongzhuang Village In Lixiahe Area As A Case

In the process of urbanization,many traditional villages are undergoing changes of disintegration and disappearance,while some villages use land resources to realize the “self-reconstruction”of the villages,and derive a set of labor modes suitable for local survival.“Labor mode”is a research perspective used by folklore to analyze the transformation of rural society,and to explore the behavior mode formed by farmers in economic activities.In previous studies on labor patterns,most of the selected villages were craft villages and industrial villages,and villages with unique farming resources were not involved too much.Duotian is a unique agricultural landscape in the Lixiahe area of Jiangsu Province.Due to its remarkable geographical feature of“three points and seven points of water”,it forms a unique farming system and ecological circle.Dongzhuang Village is the only village in the Lixiahe area that only grows cash crops,and the way of field work is basically unaffected by modern mechanization.In Dongzhuang Village,which is in a period of social transformation,the internal life of the village has undergone great changes.Previous studies on Duotian often ‘see Duotian but not people’,and the daily practice process of “Duotian people” is easily overlooked.This paper selects Dongzhuang Village with unique ecological resources as a case,takes the labor mode as the research perspective,through field investigation and literature review,trying to dig out the ‘atypical’ village labor mode that is different from the “men’s farming and women’s weaving” survival mode.The dynamic conditions of change.Narrative analysis of the daily practice process of laborers,to explore the impact of the change of labor mode on laborers.The main content of this paper includes four aspects: based on the introduction of the regional environment of the Lixiahe area,discussing the reasons for the formation and changes of Duotian,and excavating the ecological wisdom of the ancestors of Duotian.This paper analyzes the traditional labor mode of Dongzhuang Village,and discusses the reasons for the inheritance of the labor mode.Focusing on the economic life of the village,the transformation of the labor mode of Dongzhuang Village is described with the economic model of the combined development of agriculture,fishery and tourism.Female workers are most affected by the new work model,discussing the status of women under the changes of the new work model.Through discussion,this paper finds that the inheritance and transformation of labor patterns is the result of the interaction between the village collective’s ‘common selection’ of ecological resources and the individual’s ‘self-adaptive’environment.Village collective “common selection” of ecological resources is the fundamental driving force for the generation of local ecological knowledge.‘Self-adaptation’means that individuals are in a common ecological circle.Workers will acquire life experience and physical memory in the process of actively adapting to the changes of the labor mode,and form a new type of social relationship network through mutual cooperation and exchange of experience in daily practice.The ecological wisdom condensed by laborers will become an important factor affecting the development trend of villages.The protection of agricultural cultural heritage should pay more attention to the daily practices of laborers.
