南岭瑶山传统生计中的生态智慧——以都庞岭枫木坪村为例

Ecological Wisdom of Traditional Yao Livelihoods:A Case Study at Fengmuping

瑶族作为"南岭民族走廊"典型的山地民族,所处的生态环境错综复杂。瑶族文化在适应所处生态环境中积累了丰富的地方性生态知识。这样的生态知识包括对不同生态系统的认知、对生物物种的认知及其互动关系的把握、对生物资源的合理利用等等。这些知识在瑶族人民传统的"刀耕火种"林农复合生计中得到了全面的应用。以生活在都庞岭枫木坪村的"过山瑶"农林复合生计为分析对象,揭示瑶族传统生计中的生态技能、生态智慧。

As a mountainous people typical in＂ Ethnic Nanling Corridor＂ , the Yao lives in an ecologically complex environment. In the course of adapting to the environment, they have accumulated rich ecologic knowledge, including the understanding of different ecosystems, the knowledge on biological species and their interactions, the rational use of biological resources and the list goes on. This indigenous ecological knowledge has been put into a full use in their compound living on forestry and farming, specifically their slash-and-burn cultivation. The current study focuses on such compound living of the Yao at Fengmuping in Mt. Dupang so as to bring to light the ecological skills and wisdom of the Yao.
