To attain this object, it’s important to transfer peasants’ concepts and the culture of rural area because I was born and raised in inland countryside of northern China and I do know that there are many defects in rural culture though I saw and heard a lot of wisdom of peasants.Both Chinese and Foreign countries’ histories demonstrated that religions strongly impact the concept transformation of ethnic group because religion is the deep core of culture system that including the culture accumulation of deeply sheltered value and concept system of certain ethnic group.Since the reform and open policy is performed, Protestantism of China which met various fates grow in history of China has been in ascendant especially in the rural area. With the development of globalization, many different kinds of cultures interact and impact with each other which makes us can not foresee the deceleration or end of the fast development of Protestantism in China in the near future. In a sense, it is the second impact on Chinese culture since the entrance of Buddhism. Then, what are the reasons for the fast development of Protestantism in rural area? As one of the pillars of western civilization, what has Protestantism injected into Chinese traditional rural culture? In other words, what Protestantism advocates and practices contain which kind of cultural concept and spirit? How has this kind of cultural concept and spirit affected Chinese villages. At the same time, how has Protestantism been changed?Since 1980’s, a large number of people have converted to Protestantism which made many scholars became very interested in studying Protestantism and unprecedented products were born . However, most researches belong to the field of literature, history or philosophy. Recently, sociology of religion which pay more attention to empirical study and field investigation is developing, but it’s still at beginning stage in general. Led by the theology of comparative study of Chinese and Western religions made by the scholar of literature, history and philosophy, I try to deeply investigate and analogy rural Protestantism of Hebei province using methods of sociology, anthropology and history.The paper includes four parts. The first one (introduction) clarifies some basic issues about this research. The questions are as follows: first, 【关键词】 乡村； 基督教； 中国； 民间宗教； 政教关系；【Key words】 Protestantism； rural area； China； popular religions； relationship between government and Protestantism；
