Fieldwork is the uppermost research approach applied by the anthropologists. Even a researcher adopts the emic approach when observing another culture in the field, the fieldwork is, as a matter of fact, a kind of contact and involves an interaction between the researcher's culture and informants' culture. The way that the researcher embarks on fieldwork obviously carries its sociocultural influence. Therefore, the researcher's behavior will certainly affect the research object and bring about changes in the other culture in some way. With a village of Miao minority in southwestern Hubei as a case, this paper reviews the influence of the fieldwork of anthropology on the minority community via an analysis of the interaction between the investigators and the villagers, which may shed some light on our reflections upon the fieldwork in Chinese anthropology.
