民族文化的生态性与文化生态失衡——以西南地区民族文化为例

The Ecological Features of Ethnic Cultures and the Imbalance of Cultural Ecology:A Case Study of the Ethnic Cultures in Southwest China

文化生态环境的提出借用了自然科学概念,目的在于强调民族文化的生存状态及如何正确认识民族文化的生存,改善并优化民族文化的生存质量,促进并发挥民族文化的生机和活力。民族文化的社会生态环境与其生存发展空间相互依存、相互制约,当民族文化的生态环境遭到破坏和影响时,其生存发展空间必然受到制约。西南地区的民族文化生态环境具有地域性、民族性、时代性、失衡可能性的特点。目前,西南少数民族文化中折射出的各民族的历史文化传统、人生观、世界观和价值观尚需深度挖掘,这些生存智慧对于我们今天面对自然、社会和人生的种种困境,探寻天、地、人的和谐之音仍将具有积极的启示。

The concept of cultural - ecological environment is a borrowing from natural sciences and aims to reveal the status quo of the ethnic cultures and render a better understanding of their existence with a view to improving their survival and reviving their vitality. The social and ecological environment of the ethnic cultures and their survival space are closely related. The ecological environments of the ethnic cultures in southwest China have their local, ethnic and epochal features and reflect their histories, cultures, traditions, concepts of life and the world as well as values, which await further studies and have much significance to our solving the existing problems facing mankind and to realizing a harmonious co -existence between man and nature.
