Dachuan Village in Gansu Province is heavily populated with households of the surname Kong， the same as the legendary Confucius， who believe themselves descendants of the sage. Prior to the founding of New China in 1949， plentiful Confucian temples could be found in the region， where 20，000 residents of 22 nearby villages went to worship. The author documents the history of Dachuan from the perspective of “social memories” and showcases how people rebuild social connections with memories along two lines： the setbacks the village experienced in temple and ancestral worship during Mao Zedong era， and the restoration of Confucian temples after China started reform and opening-up. Jing Jun is a professor of the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University after receiving a Ph.D in anthropology from Harvard University.
