About This Novel
This book takes the pattern and concepts of ethnic geography in the southwest during the Warring States, Qin, and Han Dynasties as the research object. It aims to sort out and study in detail the evolutionary pattern of ethnic groups and the impact of the "Hua-Yi distinction" thought on the construction of ethnic space, reveal the construction path of the ethnic geography view, and clarify the connection between the ethnic geography view and the spatial construction of a unified multi-ethnic country. Based on the combing of Chinese historical records, Chinese-translated Yi historical records, archaeology, inscriptions, environmental archaeology and other materials, and the use of methods such as document analysis, iconography, environmental history, and conceptual history, the study reveals: (1) The evolution of southwest ethnic groups in the Warring States, Qin, and Han Dynasties has dual characteristics of regionality and ethnic origin, and the "regional plurality" of the evolution of southwest ethnic groups and the "holistic plurality" of the evolution of the Chinese nation have formed a coordinated evolution pattern; (2) The concept of ethnogeography and ethnic space are the space of a unified multi-ethnic country. The construction process of the multi-pattern ethnogeographic view is a process of constructing ethnic political geographical space that is structured, ordered and characterized by "differential patterns"; (3) The construction of the ethnogeographic view is the product of the realistic ethnic evolution pattern, the classic "people of five directions" ethnic cognitive model, and the need for the spatial construction of a unified multi-ethnic country. It reflects the coordinated evolution of national and regional ethnic groups and the spatial construction situation of a unified multi-ethnic country. In summary, this book attempts to clarify that the concept of ethnogeography should be an important research content in historical ethnography, preliminarily constructs a research path for the concept of ethnogeography in the Warring States, Qin, and Han Dynasties and Southwest China, and emphasizes the significance of the concept of ethnogeography in the spatial construction of a unified multi-ethnic country.
