  • Changes in Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Forage Plants In
    Ma et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2019) 15:65 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-019-0333-0 RESEARCH Open Access Changes in traditional ecological knowledge of forage plants in immigrant villages of Ningxia, China Ying Ma1, Binsheng Luo1, Qiang Zhu2, Dongxing Ma3, Qi Wen4, Jinchao Feng1 and Dayuan Xue1* Abstract Background: Ecological migration serves as an important measure for poverty eradication as well as for the protection, inheritance, and utilization of traditional ecological knowledge. This study investigated and cataloged the traditional forage plant resources and recorded the associated traditional knowledge of immigrant villages in Hongsibu District of Ningxia, China. The diversity of traditional forage plant resources and the changes in associated traditional ecological knowledge were compared among ecological immigrant villages from different emigration areas, with a hope of providing a reference for forage development, the conservation of wild forage plant resources, and the development of regional animal husbandry. Methods: From March 2018 to May 2019, a field investigation was conducted in six villages in Ningxia. Through the snowball technique, a total of 315 immigrants were interviewed using various methods, including semistructured interviews and key person interviews, which included opportunities for free listing. The changes in the utilization of traditional forage plants were compared between the ecological migrants and the original inhabitants, and the causes underlying the changes were analyzed. In addition, the major forage plant species in the research area were investigated and evaluated. Results: (1) The six investigated villages reported 224 traditional forage plant species that belong to 42 families and 150 genera. Compared with their original living areas, the number of traditional forage plant species used in the immigrant villages decreased with the increase in the relocation distance.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Yellow River, known as the Mother River in China, is ranked as the root of Chinese traditional culture. The Yellow River runs through Ningxia province and has great influence on its culture. Culture in Ningxia is only one little part in the grand Yellow River culture. The Yellow River provides not only living materials for the localities, but also nurtures the local culture, and influences many special cultures along the river. Paper-cutting is one of the local intangible heritage cultures, which is famous and popular for patterns cut by the common people and some inheritors. Theme of each pattern shows the Yellow River culture in its unique artistic language. This paper aims to illustrate cultural values of the papercuts in Ningxia province according to the papercut patterns' categories, features of humanities spirit in papercut culture from the traditional and modern perspectives, exploring the spiritual life and the idea of the localities by general introduction of the papercuts in the north and south part of Ningxia. Finally, a conclusion is drawn that new innovative ways are adopted for papercut culture' development in the new era. Data in the paper are collected by authors themselves and afforded by the intangible culture inheritors in Ningxia Province.
