Since 1999, China's reform of the compulsory education comes into a new stage, the reform has experienced demonstration - experiment - the promotion stage. One basic concept of the elementary education new curriculum reforms is integration of students' living world and the scientific world, purpose is to develop their integrity. Specific to the southwest multi-national area, it is train them to be "the modern national person", which includes two meanings: First, students must be accepted with the scientific knowledge of modern civilization, and to adapt them to today's social life; Second, the students must have the nation unique to the region's culture and survival knowledge and skills, and to adapt them to this unique national life field. The Miao minority is a nationality with long history and has a large population, once mainly living in the middle of the Yellow River and lower reaches of Yangtze River valley, then because of the war they migrated to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the vast majority of the southwestern region, at present mainly distributes in Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou Province. A long history, a special living environment and many times long-distance migration in the history contribute to the Miao people's culture, which has a tremendous educational value of the national wisdom. These national wisdoms are the qualities which each Miao nationality person should own for survive, therefore should be the content which this elementary education curriculum reforms referred in. The author takes the village elementary school of miao as the investigation and study object, discovering the realistic situation is opposite. The main problems are as following: first, basic education curriculum reform pays inadequate attention to of local knowledge; second, basic education curriculum reform lacks of the integration of the miao minority knowledge; Third, the new curriculum constructs the shallow level in the construction process of the national culture. The reasons lead to these problems are as following: the educators deviant understanding of the meaning of basic education, culture inferiority of minorities, the teacher has the knowledge without wisdom and family education and school education is difficult to join together. To solve these problems, I think we can take the following ways: A re-interpretation of compulsory education, strengthen cultural level, improve teachers' teaching wisdom, integrate family education and school education and develop school-based courses.
