The expansion of big cities and the birth of new central cities are staggering. According to Chinese Academy of Sciences in October 2012 "2012 new urbanization report" data show that China's urbanization rate of the mainland reached 51.3%, an average annual growth of 0.98%. Large numbers of villages and rural lands were swallowed up by urban sprawl. Under the influence of the two yuan system of urban and rural areas, they formed a unique regional spatial phenomenon - "village inside the city". Before mid 90s, the phenomena and problems of villages in cities were not yet apparent. In the middle and late 90s, the process of urban sprawl and suburbanization accelerated, and the urban village began to attract the attention of the city government and all walks of life. It retains the original social structure and social relations network, and changes its economic structure to second and third industries. In the case of this paper, Guangzhou is located in the coastal developed areas, and the number of villages in urban areas is more than more than 130. The traditional village of South of the Five Ridges has evolved into a city village in the process of urbanization, and the continuity of the cultural context and the village tradition is facing challenges.EnglishopenAccessThe evolution mechanism of clan - space in urban village - cases of Liede and Chebei in GuangzhouconferenceObject2486-2495
