Others are related to gregarious.

"Ant tribe", a group of college graduates, is called another group after farmers, migrant workers and laid-off workers in China. The reason why this group is vividly called "ant tribe" is because this group has many similar characteristics with ants: high IQ, weak quality and gregarious. According to statistics, there are at least 65,438+10,000 "ant families" in Beijing alone. Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi, Chongqing and other big cities have a large number of "ant families", with a scale of millions in the country. Lian Si, a postdoctoral fellow and young scholar in Peking University, believes that with the deepening of the international financial crisis and a series of adjustments in the labor market structure and employment structure, the phenomenon of "ant tribe" will exist for a long time and may have an expanding trend.

"Ant tribe" is mostly engaged in low-level and temporary jobs such as insurance promotion, electronic equipment sales and catering services. Most of them have no "three insurances" and labor contracts, and some are even unemployed and semi-unemployed, with low and unstable income. Low rent, low cost of living and convenient transportation attract "ant tribe" to live in the urban-rural fringe or village of big cities, which is called "ant domain". Tangjialing in Beijing is one of the famous ant farms.

Since 1999, colleges and universities have expanded their enrollment on a large scale year after year, and university education has developed too fast; The employment concept of "I would rather have a bed in Beijing than a suite in other places"; Coupled with a series of changes such as social urbanization, demographic structure transformation, labor market transformation and higher education system reform, more and more college graduates choose to work in big cities. After all, big cities have more opportunities and more room for development. They "seek dreams" with their dreams and pursue group identity and common life. "Ant tribe" is not an insect group, but a little-known huge group of "post-80 s"-"low-income group of college graduates". The reason why this group is called "ant family" is because this group has many characteristics similar to ants: high IQ, weak quality and gregarious.

Enjoy life while struggling.

Xiao Zhang is 23 years old. It has been two years since I moved into Wuligang in July 2007. Xiao Zhang lives on the second floor of a civil construction building on the innermost side of Wuligang Hutong. She said that her life is colorful, but the alley that greets her home after work every day is always deep and dark, so she can only summon up courage to come back. "I think I'm really strong." When Xiao Zhang evaluates himself, his eyes shine with pride. In the past two years, her work has been in good order and her position has been improving.

Xiao Zhang is satisfied with the house she rented. Usually when friends come to see her, they will marvel at how neat and orderly she can decorate the small house. Now her sister comes to Hefei to study, and often goes to her cabin to accompany her when she has no classes. The day the reporter saw her, the things piled up in her hut were a little messy. "My brother's things come to me these days, and I'm moving. I can live in the new house I bought in the city next month. " Xiao Zhang said that her income is not high, but now she has become a homeowner because of her savings and the help of her family. In this small room in 200 yuan in January, Xiao Zhang is already very happy. In this place where there seems to be nothing but a big bed, her beloved doll is particularly eye-catching. That's her attitude towards life.

Looking for a job with the encouragement of love

Yesterday afternoon, Gao Xiao bought a handful of celery from the vegetable market under an umbrella. At a young age, he planned to cook a jiaozi by himself and wait for his girlfriend to come back from work to eat together at night. The house he rented is located on the third floor of a private house in Gedadian, and the narrow corridor leading to it is very tortuous, just like his way to find a job.

Gao Xiao's age is 2 1 year. He just graduated from school this year. He tried to find a job through job fairs, newspapers and the Internet, but he hasn't settled down yet. "There is a lot of work that can be done, but there is very little that suits you." He said that he had just returned from the interview before buying food. Now he is preparing to find a job in marketing. Now their rent is 150 yuan for one month. Although he and his girlfriend often cook by themselves, the monthly expenses add up to 1000 yuan. "Only when I find a job can I make my life better."

Moving again and again makes people feel helpless.

Pony and his girlfriend stand out among a group of friends who rent nearby, because they often hold hands tightly. The night I saw them, they were making the bed in their room and preparing to move. An empty hut, a few big bags can hold very few things. They looked around. On the only poster of Zhang Mingxing on the wall, a handsome boy is lying on a bicycle, smiling at them in the sun.

"We are used to moving, and we can move by renting a house." Said the pony. Only this time, they have some helplessness, because they are catching up with the transformation of the village in the city. The house they are about to move to is more expensive than here, and the traffic seems to be no better than here.

Only optimism can touch dreams.

Only a few "ant families" can own their own houses as quickly as Xiao Zhang. When it comes to buying a house, most people smile and say, "It's too far!" But more or less, they are all looking for their own hopes and dreams.

Zhang Peng knows that he is an "ant tribe" and also calls himself a "moonlight tribe", because his monthly salary is less than 1000 yuan, except for the monthly rent, meals, transportation, telephone and other expenses, there is little left. "Everything will be solved in the end, and this process is only temporary." He said. Now I plan to go back to my hometown to learn driving at the end of the year, and it will be easier to find a job after getting a driver's license.

During the interview, the reporter learned that most "ant families" want to have a stable job first, and then consider improving their living conditions.

Gao Xiao watched several episodes of TV series Dwelling House on the Internet. He said he felt very kind. When he knew the definition of "ant tribe", he smiled and said, "Oh, then we are really ant tribes!" Wengding Wa Primitive Social Village is located in Weng Ding Cun, Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, with beautiful natural scenery and rich ethnic customs. Weng ding cun retains the architectural style and customs of the primitive Wa people's houses, and is the best preserved primitive social village so far.

Wengding, built on the mountain, is home to more than 100 families, and all the stilts in the village are still olive-shaped fence structures. It is said that a few years ago, some villagers tried to replace thatched houses with asbestos tiles because of difficulties in maintenance. Later, because the government came forward to retain the original ecological "Wengding", it finally restored the grass top with warm winter and cool summer and smooth ventilation.

On the flat ground in the middle of the village, there is a stockade and a huge reed column decorated with fish, boats and birds. It is said that this is a relatively unified belief of all ethnic groups who cultivate rice fields. "Bird" is a totem that brings grain to human beings; Ships and fish are sacred objects to save and help the Wa people reproduce in the flood. Fish, among the Han people, also means "many children and grandchildren", "reproduction" and "fish (surplus) for years". Around the stockade, there are Y-shaped piles of this tauren, including the stockade.

The woodcarving at the bottom of the stockade is the sacred "Vulcan" and "Kitchen God" in the hearts of the Wa people, and it is an important object of worship in their daily life. The stone platform on the pedestal is a "fire pond". Chinese sons and daughters are really the same ancestor. Based on the awe and admiration of "fire", almost all ethnic minorities have kept the "fire pond", and the fire in the "fire pond" can never be extinguished, which symbolizes endless life.

The stockade of Wa nationality is the relic of primitive totem worship. In ancient times, as a symbol of the tribe, it was also a place for the clan to carry out religious activities and hold ceremonies such as going out to war, celebrating victory and tribal deliberation. Today, Zhai Zhuang has become a gathering place for villagers in Wengdingwa Village. Every Spring Festival, the villagers will put down everything in their hands and sing and dance around the stockade all night to worship their ancestors and pray for good weather and good luck in the coming year.

I was told a long time ago that Weng Ding still believes in Hinayana Buddhism and still has the totem of Washan. And when I finally saw these ancient things, ancient culture and ancient heritage with my own eyes, my heart was still full of awe. With the development of the Internet, online group living has become an indispensable part of people's lives. After work, online group living has been realized through QQ group, social network community and other platforms. People from different industries and hobbies have achieved directional group living through the Internet, which is also a new social activity in the community and even the society. Human beings are gregarious animals, not only limited to social attributes in real life, but also extended to virtual groups living on the Internet, which is another innovation of human civilization and scientific and technological development.
