改革开放至今，外出务工俨然成为当代农民谋生的主流路径。在新流动范式中，“流动”作为一种关键机制，能够深刻形塑城乡的社会面貌与社会结构，改变流动人口的生活、生产状态。“攀比”一度被认为是人们极端化的、非理性化的比较行为，旨在展现自身优越性，以挣得面子和社会声望。但随着愈发频繁、广泛的流动，攀比发生的前提条件发生变化，不同代际间的攀比行为也发生了转变。

本文旨在以攀比行为的变化作为切口，指出流动作为关键机制的作用，透查行为变化背后的经济、社会结构变迁。文章通过对贵州籍流动人口的在流入地（浙江）和流出地（贵州）的田野调查，以社会比较理论为框架，从比较维度、比较对象、比较动机三方面描述老一辈和新生代流动人口的差异化攀比行为，总结出攀比的心理及行为从前台向后台转移、攀比的动机和目的从外在向具身转变、攀比动机的视野从长远向现时偏移三方面特征，并指出流动对于攀比的标准线的建立的促进作用。在分析部分，从结构性因素和个体性因素分析流动所导致的攀比行为产生的前提社会条件的变化，流动在一定程度上消解了传统社会的共同体意义、重构了流动人口的身份与情境，二者共同导致意义世界的转变及符号价值的转变。

Since the reform and opening up, going out as migrant worker has become a mainstream means of livelihood for peasants in contemporary China. Stepping out from the new mobility paradigm, this paper sheds light on how ‘mobility’, as a key social mechanism, can profoundly shape the social outlook and social structure of urban and rural areas, and change the living and production conditions of the floating population. ‘Panbi’ was once considered an extreme and irrational act of comparison, aimed at showing one’s superiority in order to earn ‘mianzi’ and social prestige. However, with the more frequent and extensive migration, the preconditions for comparison have changed, and the ‘panbi’ behaviors between different generations have also changed.
This paper aims to show the role of mobility as a key mechanism by capturing the change of ‘panbi’ behaviors’ manifestations and to examine the underlying economic and social structural changes. Based on the field research in Zhejiang and Guizhou, respectively featuring the inflow and outflow of migrants and the scenes of their everyday life, this paper takes the social comparison theory as the framework to describe the differentiated ‘panbi’ behaviors of the older generation and the new generation of the floating population from three aspects: comparison dimension, comparison object, and comparison motivation. This paper summarizes the characteristics of ‘panbi’, noting that its psychological-behavioral pattern becomes more internalized, its motivation more embodied, and its scope down to the present. It emphasizes the key role of mobility in the establishment of standard of ‘panbi’ and analyzes how mobility reshapes both the structural and individual factors as prerequisites for the comparison behaviors. Massive scale of migration dissolves the meaning of community and traditions to a certain extent, and reconstructs the identity of the floating population, which lead to a transformed meaning world and local value.
