In the context of globalization,enhancing cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence is of great significance to the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech repeatedly mentioned the importance of ethnic cultures to Chinese culture and the importance attached to the heritage of ethnic minorities.However,in reality,with the change of urban and rural areas and population migration,the disintegration of traditional communities based on kinship,and the change from region to place,the disintegration of ethnic culture based on local culture,many outstanding ethnic cultures are facing crisis:ethnic settlement The land has become a neat new home with no features;young people leave their homes to chase the rich life of big cities;children receive unified compulsory education and can no longer speak ethnic languages;left-behind elderly people become the last generation to understand their ethnic culture The crowd,with age and the natural law of birth,illness,and death,culture left with them.This phenomenon occurs in many ethnic groups,especially those with smaller populations.In this context,there are some groups of ethnic minorities who are actively engaged in the actual actions of the spread and inheritance of ethnic culture.Compared with ordinary people,they have unique resource advantages,which can be contacts,capital,and knowledge and cultural skills.Compared with the government,they are closer to real life,often participate in cultural activities,and conduct in-depth public research.They are called "ethnic elites".In order to study the actions and roles of ethnic elites in the transmission and inheritance of their own ethnic culture,the interaction between different types of ethnic elites,and the changes and perseverance of elites in the course of historical changes and cultural reconstruction,this paper starts from a small population in Yunnan The ethnic Achang ethnic group began to observe,understand and study 16 ethnic elites and two WeChat groups through field research,in-depth interviews and online ethnographic research methods.The study found that,out of the ps ??? ology of protecting the national traditional culture that is about to be lost and enhancing the cultural identity of the whole nation,the elite with national consciousness has carried out a series of national cultural transmission and inheritance actions based on multiple fields,accumulating for future generations The valuable cultural and historical materials have improved the awareness of the cultural heritage of the Achang people,allowing more people to hear the voice of Achang.In the course of action,different types of ethnic elites have different resources and powers to play different roles.Political elites grasp the direction of national cultural development through their dependence on state power.Economic elites combine local development with cultural heritage.Cultural elites directly affect cultural heritage.Knowledge elites create social space for cultural heritage through public opinion.Cooperation and trust are the normal state of the elite relationship,but at the same time due to the imbalance of economic interests and social status,the elite group also faces contradictions and differences.The Achang cultural discussion space also needs more strength and a more peaceful atmosphere.Judging from the historical process of the entire Chinese nation,what remains unchanged is that the ethnic elite has always fulfilled its mission as the role and identity of the "middleman" and strived to strive for more in the practice of the spread and inheritance of ethnic culture.Opportunity promotes the wider spread and longer-term inheritance of ethnic culture;what changes is the way and the carriers of the elites.They face the changes of the times,adapt actively,conform to the requirements of ethnic policies and the times,and rely on the favorable support of policies to actively use Reasonable media means,while promoting the prosperity and development of the ethnic culture and pursuing a better life,actively build up the awareness of the Chinese national community and maintain national unity and development...
