Abstract:

This paper takes event series as the entry point, follows the epistemological principle of “holistic survival ethics” with a historical enthnographic approach, places the “right to the forest” and the “right to the water” in the narratives that reflect the local people’s survival wisdom and morality, examines comprehensively the historical practice of the two types of rights from the “others” perspective, and reveals the folk law order behind the right to the forest and the right to the water.

Key words: holistic survival ethics  ,  historical ethnography , right to the water ,  right to the forest
