This study is to divide the sacrificed area into a city and a country, to survey the influence of the its local characteristics on housekeepers' sacrificial behavior, to investigate how general environmental factors influence on housekeepers' sacrificial behaviors living in a city and a country and finally, to make it a basic data for succeeding to traditional culture through understanding a modern meaning of sacrifice.

3.The correlations of basic sacrificial behaviors each other have a statical correlation on the whole.
4.Considering between the basic sacrificial behaviors and general variation of the object of the study, as the age was older, her academic carrier was lower and her job was more plain, its behaviors was high.
5.A country was more traditional than a city in 'time of a memorial sacrifice held on the anniversary of death'(P<.01), 'range of the sacrificial rite'(P<.01),'range of ancestor-memorial rites'(P<.05), 'use or not use of an ancestral tablet made of paper and written prayer'(P<.05). But, in 'sacrificial ceremony', 'leader in sacrifice', 'method of an ancestral tablet made of paper and written prayer', 'managing method of an ancestral tablet and written prayer', 'method to prepare the foods for the sacrifice', a city and a country both were pursuing traditional tendency.
