Abstract

Facing the impact of globalization, Oroqen and other small ethnic groups have been drifting passively under the impact of official culture and have become marginal and dependent groups in the society. Under the guidance of China's ethnic policy, Oroqen people have achieved the production and life in the process of "downhill settlement". The author summarizes the direction of cultural policy since the founding of New China into four major periods, but the shamanic elements in Oroqen folklore heritage "Mosukun" are gradually alienated, i.e., original ecology- questioned- intergenerational rupture- field limitation. The author avoids the either/or thinking of "culture or people” and proposes the perspective of traditional culture from the external factors of "national institutional factors and acceptance of multiculturalism" and internal factors of "the subject's own choice and adaptive capacity". From the perspectives of external factors "national institutional factors and multicultural acceptance" and internal factors "the subject of survival's own choice and adaptability", we put forward the hypothesis of modern construction of traditional culture, and come up with the practical explanation which is more suitable for the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage by Oroqen as a representative of small ethnic groups - both internal and external to realize the constant original power of intergenerational inheritance, so that the shamanic elements in "Mosukun" can adapt to the modernization context and achieve long-term stable development.
