Social thought research often sets out the task to discover the influence of traditional ideas in contemporary society.As a kind of funeral custom,the core essence of "jiaoye" is that people want to call back the soul of the dead to his or her body,and make him or her alive again.However,the concept of resurrection resides not in people’s consciousness when "jiaoye’s" ceremony is carried out.They are merely following the habit of funerals.Although the core meaning of "jiaoye" is obscure to the local people,the ritual and the embedded value of "jiaoye" still affect their daily practice,and influence the operation and order of the life world.By exploring the cultural implications of "jiaoye" and its impact on the modern society,the paper contributes to expanding the scope of social thought research,and a new approach to studying the folk society.
