ABSTRACT
The fixed soil leads to the closed community, and the closed community interweaves consanguinity and regionalism. Life spent on the fixed soil within a closed community breeds a specific kind of culture-rural culture. People's seemingly natural and unaffected movements are in fact the behavioral manifestation of culture. Rurality grows from the farmers' daily practices based on the fixed soil and within the closed community. The essence of rurality is the influences such close communities exert on family awareness, interpersonal relations, social order, village authority, and other aspects. In a traditional rural society, the differential mode of association revolves around the patriarchal family relationship. The father-son relationship, a vertical instead of horizontal relationship, is the main axis, and the husband-wife relationship is secondary. Peasants had no opportunity to act on their own initiative and were instead confined to the fixed soil and the closed community.
