Environmental Predicament and Cultural Reflections—Tibetan Ecological Folk Culture Analysis from the Cultural Ecological Perspective

In the process of modernization, human beings are engaged in the one-sided pursuit of economic growth, obsessed with material gains while ingoring historical culture and humanistic spirit, which results in the imbalance of cultural ecology. The present paper reviews the Tibetan ecological folklore and culture,and investigates into the harmonious development of man and nature in contexts of cultural transformations and revaluations. Tibetan’s rich heritage of ecological folk culture provides a set of available value systems for the sustainable development of human society. This paper appeals to the people to transcend out the narrow confines of anthropocentrism, re-examine the relationship between human and nature and reflect on human beings’ attitudes and behaviors to nature.
