Abstract
Grazing is the basis of nomadic culture and therefore, modern rotational grazing system is established in order to conserve and inherit the nomadic culture better. Human being, grassland and livestock are three basic components of nomadic culture, which could be integrated into a social ecosystem (grasslandlivestockpeople) through grazing. As the outcome of the social ecosystem, nomadic culture completely expresses the structure and function of the human beingoriented grassland ecosystem, which includes the pattern of production and living of nomadic nationalities, art form, ethnic nature, politics and military as well. Grazing has experienced different historical stages with the development of nomadic culture. Developed countries had finished the modification of grassland animal husbandry in the 1930s and the key approach was the rotational grazing accompanied with construction of settlements, waterdrunk points, fences, fodders and pastoral cooperatives association. This kind of grassland ecosystem with humanbeinggrasslandlivestock plays a key role in conservation and inheritance of nomadic culture.
