Influence of diversity of prototypical ethnic culture in diversity of glutinous rice in Southeast of Guizhou.

There were quite abundant prototypical ethnic cultures and plant diversity in Qiandongnan(Southeast of Guizhou),where the primitive natural ecology was also perfectly conserved.It was honored by World Native Culture Fund as One of the Eighteen Ecological and Cultural Conservations in the World.The prototypical ethnic culture of Southeast of Guizhou,as a stable life-style and economic culture type of the local people,came into being in the process of the local minorities' communicating,blending and struggling against the natural environment in the long course of history.It could be seen from this research that there were our preliminary research that there are quite abundant resources in Southeast of Guizhou in terms of prototypical ethnic cultures and genetic diversity of glutinous rice.A full reflection of the culture of Glutinous Rice could be seen in the local minority people's daily life,production,custom,religious belief,etc.These showed that the formation and great vitality of the genetic diversity of glutinous rice was not only determined by the diversity of local prototypical ethnic cultures but also to its own biotic condition and its adaptation to natural ecology.It was showed that prototypical ethnic cultures had positive impact on the conservation and utilization of Glutinous Rice diversity.
