Abstract
The Yi ethnic group is an ancient minority in China, with a rich and splendid cultural history. The Yi language, as the language of the Yi people, is the most significant manifestation in politics, economics, culture, philosophy, and art, embodying the diligence and wisdom of the Yi people. However, its gradual decline in contemporary times is a significant cultural loss. This paper conducted a survey among villagers of the Yi ethnic group in Xingye Township to understand whether they use the Yi language in daily life, whether they want their children to learn and use the language, and whether they can speak it fluently. The survey revealed signs of the Yi language declining in the area. Based on this, the paper analyzed the factors influencing the development of the Yi language and proposes practical suggestions from three aspects: educational concepts, bilingual teachers, and means of dissemination.
