Abstract

Against the background of rural revitalization, how to break through the traditional economic development model and balance ecological protection, cultural inheritance, and livelihood improvement has become an important issue in the construction of border happy villages. Taking “harmony and coexistence” as the core perspective, this paper explains the internal logic of ethnic minority ecological aesthetics, empowering the construction of border happy villages, analyzes the collaborative mechanism from the dimensions of ecological wisdom inheritance, cultural identity construction, and industrial-ecological integration, and constructs a “five-in-one” practical path integrating industry, ecology, culture, governance, and life. Through strategies such as characteristic industry cultivation, ethnic culture activation, and village space reconstruction, it provides theoretical support and practical paradigm for the organic unity of ecological protection, cultural inheritance, economic development, and grassroots governance in border ethnic areas.
