Annotation: In the 19th century, the Chinese began to spread to the Ussuri region. In this territory by that time a very small aboriginal population lived, whose main occupation was hunting and fishing. The arrival of migrants from China was accepted with curiosity and kindly, but gradually it provoked the emergence of complex ethnic processes. Here we meet a rather rare case of ‘male’ migration with numerically overwhelming the local community. In such a situation, aborigines assimilate rapidly but only the ‘male’ part of the culture is introduced to special economic conditions, tools, laws, religious beliefs, etc. The purpose of this article is to trace the cultural influence of the Chinese on the Aboriginal in the pre-revolutionary period. The authors concentrated their attention on issues that are very sensitive to any ethnos during the period of active transformation. This is a change in ideas about the surrounding world and its place in it, sharp modification of the social structure of the usual society, emergence and reaction to new cultural and socio-economic challenges. As a rule, scientists considered these issues from the point of view of the negative influence of the Chinese on the Aboriginals of Ussuri region. In the article, the authors showed that with China’s truly overwhelming cultural influence on the Aborigines, yet the notion of the Chinese, as exploiters of local residents did not always correspond to reality. In this paper, the information was used from a little-known monograph by S. Brailovsky (1902) and mostly unpublished field diaries of V. Arsenyev (1906-1909).
