Mother tongue, for the minority students, is not only the best tool for protecting local culture, but the only stand to learn other languages and develop their ideation. That's why bilingual education has always been the principal part in China's Ethical basic education. Bilingual education has been exercised for a long time in China's ethical area. Due to the difference on culture, the modes of bilingual education are various. The general researches on bilingual education can't help instruct the development of ethical education. The complexity of bilingual education and diversity of culture request the research on bilingual education should adjust the measures of local conditions.Bilingual culture and education teaching, which teaches mother language and Han language at the same time, is one of the forms of bilingual education. The purpose of bilingual culture and education teaching is instructing the minority students to learn Han culture on the basis of learning ethical culture. Bilingual culture and education teaching was quite popular in 1950s and 1960s, but was intermitted by some historical reasons. Now some minority areas of China have begun this kind of teaching method again. But there still no conclusion about how bilingual culture and education teaching's effect and how to constitute the standard of its implements. The seven years' practice of bilingual culture and education teaching in Zaidang elementary school shows that this method have a very good effect not only on improving students' scores, but on accelerating inherit and developing ethical cultures. Unfortunately, it has to face the trouble of halting. To summarize the good experience of Zaidang's bilingual culture and education teaching and do a research on its impediments, we did a research on the effects and the disadvantages of Zaidang's bilingual culture and education teaching in Rongjiang county in Giuzhou province.On the basis of fieldwork, the research adopted questionnaire, interview and literate search together. By the investigation on Zaidang's bilingual culture and education teaching, the thesis found that it has a very good effect in accelerating the development of children's intelligence and protecting local culture. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, the transition from mother language to Han language obeys the children's order of meeting things and learning a second language. Secondly, it lessens the children's mental pressure on study and improves their curiosity of learning. Finally, learning of mother language, which enhances the minority children's ethical feeling, is a wonderful way for protecting and transmitting ethical culture. The investigation also found the main reasons of blocking the further development of two-Chinese teaching. The first reason is lacking of administrative support, and the second one is there is not a scientific education system to guide its development. Aimed at those problems, the thesis proposed some suggestions on building a scientific management system of bilingual culture and education teaching. The system should include these qualifications: an unaided financial support, a particular management means on bilingual culture and education teaching, a standard process of training teacher staff and a scientific research on bilingual culture and education teaching.The developments of minority education not only need enough devotion from manpower, material resources and finance support, but also need more people join into the career of minority education research. This thesis has a academic meaning in enriching the research on bilingual culture and education teaching, and it is a try in building the scientific management system of bilingual culture and education teaching. Furthermore, the research on Zaidang's bilingual culture and education teaching also have a practical meaning in guiding how to actualize bilingual culture and education teaching in the ethical areas, such as Zaidang and the places similar with it.
