Abstract: Based on the conceptual that overlaps between transnational lineage networks and the making of place meaning, the paper attempts to investigate the social construction and place-making of Qiaoxiang which is filled with place meaning and shaped by the interaction between external economic and political system and local social culture. By using a case study on Qianmei VIllage of Chenhai Distinct, Shantou City, the article employs qualitative analysis, such as literature analysis,text analysis and depth interview, to explain the mechanism of the continuous change of the social relationship within the process of place-meaning construction.We argued that the meaning of the space and place of Qianmei Village is reconstructed continuously. In addition, it proves that the Qianxiang as space of representation explains different cultural meaning and place image under the spatial practice by different social relationships in different periods. Compared with the researchs of other subjects, the paper focuses on the meaning of space and place of Qiaoxiang which has been ignored in scholarship for a long time, and explore the social culture process of Qiaoxiang deep inside through the relationship among space, place and people.
