民族文化既是一个民族精神世界的写照,同时也是这个民族所创造的物质文化和精神文化的结晶。而西部是我国少数民族聚居、民族传统文化积淀浓厚的地区,民族文化的多样性是西部文化的显著特征,但在西部大开发与经济全球化背景下,体现民族特色的民族文化遗产正大量流失,要构建社会主义和谐社会,就必须重视和加强对少数民族传统文化的保护传承和开发利用。 National culture is not only a portrayal of a national spiritual world, but also the material and spiritual culture created by this nation. However, in western China, ethnic minorities live in concentrated communities and have strong traditional culture. The diversity of ethnic cultures is a prominent feature of western culture. However, under the background of western development and economic globalization, the national cultural heritage that reflects ethnic characteristics is greatly lost In order to build a harmonious socialist society, we must attach importance to and strengthen the protection, inheritance, development and utilization of the traditional ethnic cultures.
