A Case study on economic development and traditional culture protection: Taking the Oroqen as an example

Abstract

As a unified multi-ethnic socialist country, economic growth and traditional culture preservation in ethnic minority regions have always been the main objectives of China's economic and cultural construction. Due to a number of issues, including historical reasons, a humanistic environment, and geographic circumstances, the Oroqen people have lagged behind in terms of both economic and cultural industry growth. The traditional culture of Oroqen is rich and diversified, including aspects of food, costume, hunting, and religion. Economic innovation and progress are necessary for the preservation of minority cultures. The so-called innovation is to use distinctive national culture of Oroqen to produce economic value. This paper presents the Oroqen culture, illustrates the obstacles of preserving traditional culture, and explores how to use the traditional culture and the advantages of the ethnic group to develop the economy. It also covers how to use the financial benefits to help the Oroqen people in maintaining their ancient culture.
