Abstract: In the historical period, people of the Jino nationality utilized the forest to a high degree in terms of ecological security and material level. The mountains, on which Jino people depended for survival and development, still had a high forest coverage by the end of the 1950s. The integration of forest utilization and protection is an important reason for the forests to remain in good condition. From the technical perspective, the integration lies mainly in utilization of different items in good time and fire prevention; at the spiritual level, it is to respect first and use later; from the system aspect, it mainly includes clear ownership and punishment for excessive cutting. Forest utilization and protection show a strong integrity, forming a two-way cycle operation mode of "forest use—forest protection—forest use" with forest protection as the center. On this basis, a pattern of forest and human symbiosis is formed.
