Abstract

China is a multi-ethnic country with cultural diversity. In addition to the 56 identified ethnic groups, there is a special ethnic group called the Deng which have not been identified as an official ethnic group until now. Some of them have lived in Nyingchi located in the southeastern part of Tibet. In the 1950s, the Deng and the local Tibetan were liberated and lived in the socialist society from the primitive society, which led to the evolution of civilization and the improvement of living standards. Nowadays, except for the problem of identity traceability, the Deng are also facing the problem of ethnic group's cultural identity and inheritance. Based on the Deng who have already received higher education with the ages between 16 and 60 years old as the research objects, this paper analyzes the current situation and attitudes of cultural identity of ethnic group of the Deng through questionnaires and in-depth interviews and then provides some thoughts on the ways that refer to both promoting cross-cultural communication and protecting the cultural diversity.
