◆Introduction

My life is lonely and lonely. I do anthropology for relieving the inner loneliness. I find the reality, including my career, extremely boring. In order to escape reality, I had to travel around. In my travels, however, I have pondered some questions that I should not have pondered.

How did China become China？How did it go from traditional China to modern China? And in space, How does it come about? I've been curious about this question for years. Whether it is the study of Chinese lineage, or the history of Chinese anthropology, It's just a window into China.

In my pinion, the patriarchal lineage system is just a symbol which the Han society represents itself by it. I am interested in the patriarchal lineage system’ movement in different directions in China.  In the process of modernization, scientific China has become an important dimension of modern China's self-interpretation. I am engaged in the research of the history of Chinese physical anthropology and scientific anthropology, to a large extent, for wanting to understand the generation process of scientific China.

In thinking about these problems, I have developed a unique understanding of history from China most historians. Namely, How did history come into the present? How does the past’past come to the past? In addition, I stressed the research methods, namely “two-way reading between document and field”, so explore an anthropological way which combings western social sciences and Chinese traditional humanities.
