This book is based on the National Ethnic Affairs Commission's "Investigation and Research on the Economic and Social Development of Ethnic Groups with Small Population in China". It uses empirical research methods to describe the historical evolution and current situation of the ethnic consciousness of the Baoan ethnic group, analyzes the impact of the country's ethnic theory and ethnic policies on people's ethnic consciousness, and discusses specific issues. The determinants of belonging consciousness in the context of ethnic relations, changes in group boundaries and people's interactions at the level of group relations reveal the social mechanism of "why the Bao'an people became the Bao'an people", and explore theoretical issues such as the relationship between "ethnic group" and "nation" and the evolution of ethnic consciousness in the context of the modern nation-state.
