With the profound changes in social environment, problems such as weak identity, slow response and alienation of mechanism are gradually weakening the vitality of national traditional legal culture, and at the same time affecting its function of supporting and restoring the endogenous order of local society. The paper holds that with the help of traditional civil organizations, the legal culture in ethnic regions can be better integrated into the local dispute settling, and the multiple purposes of integrating social norms, converging core values and settling disputes can be easily realized.
