Abstract

Environmental customary law refers to ideas and opinions on the relationship between human and the natural environment in the traditional culture of minority nationalities. It reflects the original legal culture of ethnic minorities. Wa people are indigenous minorities in Yunnan. Their traditional culture contains a large number of environmental customary law elements on the harmonious relationship between human and the natural environment. This article analyzes the traditional culture of Wa people, and finds that their environmental customary law comes from three origins: religion and taboo, symbolic culture and institution.
