How to develop bilingual education in minority areas
Since 1980s, China has carried out various forms of bilingual education in minority areas, and trained a large number of bilingual talents for all walks of life. However, with the formation of economic globalization, the traditional bilingual education of ethnic minorities (hereinafter referred to as traditional bilingual education) began to show incompatibility with the development of the times. Contemporary bilingual education for ethnic minorities needs to break through the traditional shackles and make a new strategic orientation.

Bilingual education should attach importance to the protection and inheritance of national language and culture

Contemporary bilingual education should focus on the protection and inheritance of national language and culture and give full play to the natural advantages of bilingual education in the protection and inheritance of national culture. Bilingual education has occupied the commanding heights of mother tongue education for ethnic minorities from the very beginning. Therefore, in education, bilingual educators should realize the bearing function of mother tongue on national culture, connect those positive and social reality cultures with bilingual education, fully combine the excavated national culture with the mainstream culture, and form an interactive exchange between national culture and mainstream culture. In bilingual education, we should give full play to the role of language and writing. For those minority students who have their own national languages, language teaching can stimulate their interest in learning and understanding national culture, deepen their impression of national culture, enhance their ability to learn national culture, establish awareness of protecting national language and culture, and form a good atmosphere for protecting and inheriting minority language and culture.

In bilingual education, students should form introspection, self-confidence and self-consciousness in protecting and inheriting national culture. In bilingual education, it is necessary to illustrate the importance of the existence of national culture and the importance of national culture to realize the cultural diversity of the Chinese nation through vivid examples. Through the guidance of various channels, the education of national language and culture will be integrated into bilingual education, so that more minority students can form the ideology of national culture protection and inheritance, let them shoulder the responsibility of national culture protection and inheritance, establish the self-confidence of national culture and establish the consciousness of national culture protection and inheritance. Through education, we will cultivate some talents who know how to protect and inherit the national language and culture, can meet the needs of mainstream culture, can really devote themselves to the economic, social and cultural development in ethnic areas, can clearly understand the role of national culture in economic and social development, and can protect national language and culture through personal practice.

In bilingual education, students should form a United and inclusive cultural concept and a good environment for protecting national culture. To implement bilingual education in minority areas, we should face not only minority students, but also Han students. Therefore, in such an educational environment, educators should give full play to the intermediary and leading role, guide Han students and minority students to form a consensus of origin, emotion and country, and constantly cultivate their awareness of equality, unity and mutual assistance. In bilingual education, we should make them realize that Chinese civilization is the result of the interaction of all ethnic groups from beginning to end, that the language of all ethnic groups is the carrier of culture, that the cultures of all ethnic groups are in a pluralistic symbiotic relationship, and that the motherland is the mother who lives together, thus forming their habit and understanding of mutual respect and learning, and creating a good environment for promoting the cultural protection of ethnic minorities and promoting national unity.

Promote bilingual education to the level of national innovation and make a difference.

We should realize that bilingual education is an important source of national innovation. Language is the comprehensive embodiment of human values and world outlook, and the concentrated embodiment of human thinking and wisdom. Different languages represent different ways of thinking, and innovation requires different ways of thinking. Bilingual education must recognize the important role of language in the diversity of thinking and constantly improve students' ability to learn national languages in education. Without language, the exchange of ideas and practices between ethnic groups is impossible. Different thinking will lead to different possibilities and unlimited innovation. A nation confined to a single state of thinking, intelligence and spirit will never become a great nation with innovative consciousness and advancing with the times. If we overemphasize the monism of language and culture, our thoughts will become rigid, our thinking will be restricted, and the innovation of the country and the nation will be out of the question, and we may become a country and nation that can only copy. Therefore, departments, organizations and individuals engaged in bilingual education at all levels should recognize the role of bilingual education in national innovation and raise bilingual education to the strategic height of national innovation, instead of treating it as a dispensable work.

In the innovative role of bilingual education, the state should determine the position of bilingual education in national innovation through scientific and reasonable top-level design. "Innovation is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible motive force for the country's prosperity". The diversity of language and culture is the soil on which innovation depends, and it is also the source of more lasting power for innovation. Without the support of soil and source, innovation will be difficult to sustain. Not everyone can see the innovative function of bilingual education. Therefore, under the realistic background of irreversible globalization, it is urgent to play the role of bilingual education in innovation. In the long run, the state should play the role of system setting and system implementation in actual operation. The first is the national legislation to realize bilingual education. Promoting bilingual education in ethnic minority areas to the will of the state through the form of law is the fundamental way to realize the standardization of bilingual education, a powerful measure to expand the influence of bilingual education, and a starting point to ensure the existence of soil and source of national innovation.

Bilingual education should be strategically considered from the perspective of national cultural security.

We should realize that the existence of national culture is an important guarantee for national cultural security. At present, the cultural infiltration and cultural invasion in the west are increasing day by day, and they are everywhere. For western culture, our consistent choice is to "take its essence and discard its dross". But among many young people now, there are countless people who blindly worship western culture. In the long run, we will lose the dominance of our own culture, let other people's culture occupy our position, and our self-contained cultural system will be destroyed. Chinese civilization is a great civilization formed by the continuous gathering of various nationalities in the course of thousands of years. Without any cultural support, the stability of the building of Chinese civilization will be destroyed and the cultural security of the country will be threatened. The author thinks that the cultural worship of worshipping foreign things and worshipping foreign things, advocating the monistic cultural thought with China as the core, is short-sighted and blind to the national cultural security. Therefore, bilingual education should change its role strategically, and should not stop at students' learning scientific and cultural knowledge, but should rely on and make a difference in national cultural education. We must carry out national cultural education in bilingual education. Through systematic and cross-cultural language education, we can cultivate students' confidence in Chinese civilization, enable them to form the ability to distinguish the essence and dross of western culture, and establish a line of defense to consciously resist the invasion of western cultural hegemony.

Strengthen students' national cultural safety education. Bilingual educators should constantly spread the national concept and Chinese national consciousness to students in education, and create a good atmosphere for national cultural security. In bilingual education, they should fully understand the origin and relationship of Chinese civilization through language, culture and history education. The reason why Chinese civilization can last for a long time compared with the other three major civilizations in the world is, in the final analysis, that Chinese civilization is composed of inclusive cultures of all ethnic groups, and the tolerance among all ethnic groups has formed a unique Chinese civilization. The mutual blending and mutual reflection of national cultures have formed the ecosystem of Chinese civilization. The balance of this ecosystem has injected fresh blood into Chinese civilization. The balance of this system is the cornerstone of the stable development of the Chinese nation. Once the balance is broken, the stability of Chinese civilization will be threatened. When we turn a blind eye to the destruction of cultural ecosystem, it is a disaster for cultural security.

Build consensus on education. Only a pluralistic and inclusive cultural ecosystem can guarantee the existence and interpretation of common civilization. Just like the natural ecosystem we see, if this system has only human beings, no eagles hitting the sky, no swimming in the water and no wild horses riding, then the world will be lifeless and terrible, and a mature civilized ecosystem is a pluralistic and unified system. Therefore, the relevant state departments should strategically consider the role of contemporary bilingual education in national cultural security. By strengthening the function of bilingual education, ethnic groups can break through the thinking gap, transcend cultural boundaries, establish national concepts, unite more people's hearts, gather more strength, and form cultural consensus, national consensus and national consensus.
