A tentative discussion of the survival of the concept of rank in contemporary Liangshan Yi areas
Article Abstract:
The main reason for the survival of the concept of rank in contemporary Liangshan Yi areas is due to the sociocultural rank system by which people are divided into high and low, noble and humble. However, it is concluded that the concept of rank that still survives will gradually disappear as the socialist modernization of Liangshan Yi areas progresses.
