Symbiotic economy and cultural sharing:analysis of the two-dimensional development path of the integrated multi-ethnic communities of Pianma Port on China-Myanmar border
Although the Pianma Port on the northwest Yunnan on China-Myanmar border is relatively remote and isolated,a new type of community environment and social structure featuring multi-ethnic integration has basically taken shape here thanks to the concerted efforts of local governments and people of all ethnic groups over half a century.Based on the increasingly integrated multi-ethnic communities,a symbiotic economic pattern emerges and thrives and a culture sharing model comes out as local people's sense of identity evolves into spiritual resonance in the process of cultural exchange,and integration among various ethnic groups.And the combination of the two serves as an effective development path toward further social progress and ethnic unity in the Pianma Port area.
