Abstract
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Party and the government have focused on the development of ethnic areas, formulated relatively comprehensive preferential policies, and provided help to these areas and improved them continuously. It is found through this survey that the implementation of the ethnic preferential policies directly affects the social and economic development of ethnic areas and improves the living standards of local people. Meanwhile, from the ideological and spiritual level, it makes people in these areas realize the deep connection between their own development and the national development, fully feel the "sense of care" and "sense of unity", and have a solid feeling and clearer understanding of the abstract concept of the state. This is also another important influence and value of ethnic preferential policies.
