英文摘要：

This article examines the differences between emerging and traditional mutual aid non- governmental organizations in ethnic minority villages of Yunnan in terms of background, organizational structure, member, function and operation mechanism. Social relations, rural elites and social capital all play important roles in operating the organizations.
