The Protection and Development of Guizhou Ethnic Characteristic Culture from the Perspective of Ecological Civilization—On the Experience and Enlightenment of Buddhist Cultural Localization

Abstract

Since the late Han Dynasty was introduced into China, Buddhism has quickly harmonized with local Confucian and Taoist culture in the fields of religion, art and literature by adhering to great compassion for all the common people and equality of all living creatures, to the extraordinary ideological level of detachment from secular world and the pursuit of peace, happiness and wisdom. After two thousand years spread, inheritance, development and evolution, Buddhism gradually integrated into the local culture, converged and formed the trinity culture pattern of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which highlights the value concept of pluralism and the spirit of tolerance of coexistence of Chinese traditional culture. On the one hand, the active guide of Buddhism for people’s yearning for the value pursuit of peace, happiness and wisdom, equality, and the reflections on life of equality of all living creatures and cause-and-effect transmigration are intrinsically in accordance with the harmonious development between people and nature, economic construction and environmental protection advocated by ecological civilization, which conforms to the value concept of sustainable economic and social development and exerts the important enlightenment significance to the protection of Guizhou ethnic characteristic culture under the background of urbanization. On the other hand, the experience and practice of localization of Buddhist culture exert the vital significance to the development of Guizhou ethnic characteristic culture under the background of urbanization.
