- Abstract
In the long history of China, clan and blood ties are the foundation to maintain the growth and development of a settlement, as well as the bond to breed collective consciousness. The Dadu River basin in Ganzi Prefecture has formed many multi-ethnic settlements composed of Han, Tibetan, Yi and other races during hundreds of years of historical changes. Compared with traditional settlements, these settlements lack kinship ties. The purpose of this study is to analyze and explore the driving forces of the formation of multi-ethnic settlements in Dadu River Basin, Garze Prefecture, and the inner spiritual sources of the settlements in condensating collective consciousness from the two dimensions of natural environment and cultural exchange through the methods of historical data collection, field investigation and questionnaire interview. The results show that: (1) The multi-ethnic settlements in Dadu River basin in Ganzi Prefecture were formed and developed under the influence of natural environment and cultural exchange. (2) Residents of all ethnic groups have developed unique religious beliefs of nature worship in the process of harmonious coexistence with nature in this region. Under the influence of common beliefs, they breed collective consciousness and build a common home for residents of all ethnic groups.
