Abstract: Kinship terms are the markup language of social kinship status, and for the internal society of an ethnic group, the structure of kinship terms corresponds to the internal social organizational culture. The kinship language of the hmongb lens branch of the Miao ethnic group in the western dialect reflects the relational framework of its internal social structure, forming a hierarchical kinship social rule of "center - outer circle - edge" through the use of kinship language that includes five generations of names vertically and three branches of blood relatives, collateral relatives, and in-laws horizontally.
