Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In rural China, with the rapid social changes of China\u2019s economic development, some villages have collapsed; others tenaciously preserve their traditional lifestyle; and still others have industrialized by establishing primary processing industries. A significant number of villages are now marginalized both socially and geographically. Almost all of China\u2019s Dongxiang villages in Gansu Province should be classified into this category. Recently, however, these villages have been rebuilding in several ways, which this paper will examine from different aspects.<\/p>\n
