The saying that the alley culture was a closed culture could be explained from the following aspects: 1. The geographical environment: The formation of Hutong culture is closely related to the geographical environment of Beijing. Beijing was located on a flat plain with fertile land and convenient transportation. It had always been an important commercial and cultural center in history. This geographical environment formed a relatively closed social environment within the Hutong community. The members of the community depended on each other and formed a relatively stable cultural group. 2. Cultural tradition: Hutong culture has a unique cultural tradition, which reflects the values, lifestyle and cultural inheritance of the residents. For example, the Hutong culture emphasized the relationship between families, neighbors, and communities, and emphasized mutual assistance and mutual benefit. At the same time, it also retained many traditional cultural activities such as opera, music, and dance. These cultural traditions were an important manifestation of the closeness of the alley culture. 3. Social structure: The social structure of the Hutong culture is relatively closed. In the hutong culture, the family and clan were the basic units of society. There were often strict seniority and etiquette norms within the family, and they also paid attention to the connection and inheritance between the families. This kind of social structure formed a relatively stable cultural group within the Hutong community, and to a certain extent, maintained the cultural variety and isolation. To sum up, the Hutong culture is a closed culture. The geographical environment, cultural traditions and social structure played an important role in its formation.
The relegation culture and pragmatic culture are two important cultural phenomena in the history of Chinese literature. Their origins can be traced back to the political system of ancient China. In feudal society, the political system often had a hierarchical system. The movement of different identities, status, and power levels was restricted. For those who did not conform to the rules of the bureaucracy, they might be demoted or banished to a place far away from the capital as the "demoted". The lives of these demoted people were often very difficult, but they had the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction and resistance through literary works. The pragmatic culture was a cultural phenomenon that reflected the real life in ancient Chinese literature. This culture emphasized practicality and utility, advocating the solution of practical problems and the pursuit of practical benefits.

The relegation culture and pragmatic culture are important cultural phenomena in ancient Chinese literature. They reflect the basic situation of ancient Chinese political system and social reality, and are of great value to the study of Chinese literature and culture.
