Continuation and Reconstruction of Local Knowledge:Field Observations on the Changes of Water Culture in Hongsibu Ecological Immigrant Village in Ningxia
For the arid northwest region,limited water resources constrain regional food security,ecological securi-ty,and sustainable economic and social development.People living in arid areas have built a local knowledge system about water intake,storage,utilization,conservation,and love based on their water survival practices.The country has ef-fectively alleviated the problem of uneven spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in arid areas through water conservancy projects.The implementation of the Ningxia Poverty Alleviation and Yellow River Irrigation Project has fun-damentally solved the problem of poverty by relocating one million people in the southern mountainous areas of Ningxia who do not have production and living conditions to irrigation areas.Based on a field survey in Xi village of Hongsibu in Ningxia,this study attempts to analyze the reproduction process of local knowledge about water among this population.The investigation found that relocating from arid mountainous areas to villages irrigated by the Yellow River did not com-pletely break the original local knowledge system in the process of reproducing local knowledge about water.The article argues that local knowledge develops dynamically with the migration of people and is passed down and reconstructed in new environments.In the context of rural revitalization,attention should be paid to the possibility of organic integration of scientific knowledge and local knowledge after migration,exploring the path of diversified development of rural society in arid areas,and the internal logic of farmers living in it moving from survival ethics to development self-consciousness.
