School Education and Cultural Inheritance of Yi Nationality: Educational Choices Based on Cultural Ecology in Yi Areas of Liangshan

Abstract

Ethnic culture and ethnic education have always been interdependent and mutually dynamic. The transmission and inheritance of ethnic culture is the mission and responsibility of ethnic education, and ethnic education is an important way for the development and inheritance of ethnic culture. Although the school education of the Yi nationality in Liangshan of Sichuan Province has made a breakthrough in the inheritance of the Yi culture, there are contradictions and conflicts in the identification of the Yi students, the school curriculum, teacher training and evaluation mechanism. The paper holds that in order to achieve the coordination and unification of Yi traditional culture and education development in elementary education, we must solve the relationship between modern education and traditional culture in Yi areas, minimize the constraints of Yi traditional culture and expand its favorable factors, so as to make it a driving force for national social progress. In other words, on the one hand, we should carry forward the excellent traditions of the Yi culture so that it can be continuously inherited and developed; on the other hand, we should also pay attention to the adjustment of the traditional culture of the Yi nationality and the modern society.
