Study on Cultural Adaptation of Livelihood Choice Among Wuling Mountain Area Migrant Groups——Taking the Creative Transformation of Indigenous Knowledge of Mushroom Industry in Tongren Area as an Example
Clifford Geertz believes that"local knowledge"is a mode of using local knowledge to understand things,which is closely related to local people,region,and local knowledge holders.The collection and consumption of wild mushrooms is a typical local knowledge of human understanding and utilization of natural resources,and the cultivation technology of edible mushrooms is the result of human culture transforming nature.After the industrial civilization,mushroom planting became an industry,and it was also used as the leading industry in Tongren to solve the economic problems of migrant groups.However,market-led collective mushroom planting has not achieved the desired results.On the contrary,some migrants have combined local knowledge of mushroom planting with modern science and technology,and small-scale mushroom planting has been successful.Guided by the theories of cultural balance and cultural adaptation in eco-ethnology,this paper takes the mushroom industry in Tongren area as a case study to summarize the general law of cultural adaptation and industrial selection from the theoretical level,so as to realize the creative transformation of local mushroom knowledge.
