Abstract: Patterns and Rituals represents the fruitful outcome of Professor Jia Man's years of dedicated research. Drawing upon
fieldwork conducted in Cangyuan, Yulong County, Pingbian, Eshan Tadian, Shalang, and Shangri-La in Yunnan, this work vividly
depicts through text and imagery the multi-ethnic cultures that have organically grown and evolved within Yunnan's diverse spatial
contexts. It offers valuable insights from a multi-spatial analytical perspective. Applying the Spatial Production Theory to examine the
historical evolution of patterns and rituals amid modernization and urbanization facilitates exploring living inheritance pathways for folk
cultures imbued with the sentiments of various ethnic groups. It further prompts reflection on how power structures and capital logic,
through cultural symbolization within multi-ethnic spaces, drive spatial reorganization, and serves as a vivid practice in consolidating
the sense of community for the Chinese nation.

Key words:  Patterns and Rituals, Jia Man, theory of spatial productivity, the community for the Chinese nation
