From the beginning in the Ming and Qing dynasties until the end of the republic of China, “Zou Xikou” immigration movement lasted more than three hundred years, and has changed the environment of Inner Mongolia. The migrants to the han nationality and the local Mongolian’ behavior all changed accordingly, their way of life and production, way of living has also changed accordingly. This change promoted the formation of the village and the city in Inner Mongolia, which is the miniature of current Inner Mongolia. This article discusses the environment and behavior transition under the influence of “Zou Xikou” immigration in Inner Mongolia. We study this transition from the historical background, production mode, population structure, and city building four angles. We also do the restitutive description, which is mainly aimed at grassland agriculture, population of localization, living centralization and regional architecture, in order to better explore the regionalism of Inner Mongolia.
