In this era of rapid development, profound changes are taking place in rural social relations. One of the striking questions isFamily ties are fading。This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in rural areas, and there are many complex reasons behind it. 
Background of Rural SocietyThe economy of rural areas is developing rapidly, and people's quality of life is constantly improving. This phenomenon is a good thing to a certain extent, but it is also accompanied by changes in social relations, especially the dilution of family relationships. We can analyze this problem in depth through the following aspects. 
Increased labor mobility has made it normal for farmers to go out to work, which has led to the alienation of neighbors. Neighbors who once lived together for many years may now be separated for many years and can only be reunited at certain times. In this case, the spirit of mutual help in the neighborhood is gradually weakening, and community cohesion is also declining. At the same time, economic factors are also beginning to affect family relationships, and rural family members may be separated by work demands, leading to a dilution of family relationships. 
The rise of materialismAnother reason for the dilution of kinship is the rise of materialism. With the rapid development of the rural economy, the gap between the rich and the poor has gradually widened, which has triggered a change in values. The influence of money on family affection is becoming more and more prominent, especially in the issue of property inheritance. In some families, conflicts have erupted over property issues, and family relationships have been severely affected as a result. 
The breeding of comparison psychology in society also has a negative impact on family affection. People begin to over-pursue material comforts and ignore the importance of family relationships. Conflicts arise between families due to differences in economic conditions, which further weakens the bonds of kinship. 
Discussion of social influencesThis dilution of kinship has had a wide-ranging impact on rural society. First, the dilution of neighborhood relations weakens the cohesion of rural communities and weakens the bonds between community members. This can lead to an increase in social problems as people lack the support to help each other in times of difficulty. Second, the dilution of family affection has had a negative impact on the rural family structure. Feelings of alienation between family members can lead to an increase in loneliness and mental health problems, especially in older age groups. 
Conclusions and RecommendationsIn order to address this issue, we need to emphasize the importance of reshaping personal values and family affection. We should not only pay attention to material life, but also care about family relationships and cultivate a sense of family affection. Rural community management and organizations should also play an active role in encouraging mutual assistance and communication among neighbors in order to enhance community cohesion. In addition, education plays an important role in cultivating a sense of kinship. Schools should strengthen family education, so that students can understand the importance of family affection and establish correct values. Only through efforts in various fields can we re-promote the important value of family affection in rural society and promote the healthy development of social relations. The dilution of family relationships requires our joint attention and solution.
