Abstract
This article deals with an exciting topic that should not only be of general interest among legal anthropologists in China and abroad, 1 but should contribute greatly to China's progress toward "rule of law." It is widely known that China has a great number of ethnic groups. Different ethnic groups have formed different cultures, so pluralism is a salient feature of Chinese culture. Such cultural pluralism has resulted in legal pluralism, and different ethnic groups have their own unique legal cultures. As the embodiment of an ethnic group's legal culture, folk law performs the function of regulating every aspect of village life for ethnic minorities and maintaining order even though these villages lie on the margins of the control of state law.
