Ecological Transformation: The Modern Shift in the Development of Ethnic Minority Traditional Cultures

Abstract

The ecological transformation of ethnic minority traditional cultures represents a modern paradigm shift and an inevitable trend in the context of globalization. However, challenges such as cultural homogenization, threats to diversity under market-driven economies, and imbalanced cultural exchanges have precipitated an ecological crisis within these cultural systems. This study proposes a “symbiotic synergy” framework to address globalization’s impacts, advocate for the preservation of cultural diversity, and foster sustainable interactions between cultural heritage and economic development. By integrating ecological philosophy with practical strategies, this research aims to revitalize ethnic minority traditions while ensuring their alignment with contemporary socio-economic dynamics. The findings highlight the necessity of balancing cultural authenticity with adaptive innovation, offering policy recommendations for holistic cultural ecosystem management.
