Abstract:

Tianzhu County, situated in eastern Guizhou Province, is an ethnic-minority forestry county characterized by its

picturesque natural landscapes and a wealth of well-preserved stele relics. Academic circles have devoted insufficient attention to

forestry steles. Focusing on the forest protection steles in Tianzhu County, this study investigates their temporal characteristics, regional

features, and stele types, explores the connotation of ecological culture and the essence of traditional forestry management systems, and

thus offers a reference for contemporary ecological protection and the inheritance of ethnic cultures.

Key words:

Tianzhu County, forest protection steles, temporality, regionality, ecological concepts
