The Hui Uprising in Yunnan during the Qing Dynasty lasted for eighteen years from 1855 to 1873. The war spread throughout Yunnan and affected all southwestern provinces. It was a major event in history. It was only recorded in official documents and deliberately distorted, while private records were deliberately protected, so the facts were unclear and the truth was not revealed until today. Although there were scholars who wanted to express their opinions on this matter, they were limited by time and place, limited by what they had seen and heard, and there was no way to start, so it was difficult to fulfill their wishes. In fact, the end of this matter was only eighty years ago. The secret vehicle must have been preserved for a long time, so the old man may still be alive. If you search diligently, you will get more. The results obtained by Mr. Bai Shouyi's visits in recent years are a clear example. What's more, now that the people's government is implementing the correct policy of national unity, it will definitely be more convenient to interview and study the historical facts of the previously oppressed nations. If people with lofty ideals from all parties work together and work together, then the full disclosure of this public case to the world will only be a matter of personal consideration.

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.

The Xijias were one of the northern ethnic groups in the Tang Dynasty. They were active in the upper reaches of the Jianhe River (today's Yenisei River). They were the ancestors of the Kirgiz people and the Kyrgyz people in Central Asia in what is now Xinjiang, China. In the Western Han Dynasty, Xiugasi first appeared in the annals of Chinese history under the name of Jiankun. After the Wei, Jin, and Sui and Tang dynasties, Xijiasi established contact with the Tang Dynasty. In the fifth year of Emperor Wenzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (840), Xijias defeated the Uighur Khanate that ruled Mobei and forced the remaining Uighurs to move westward, which had a major impact on the history of the Mongolian Plateau and even Central Asia. The history of ancient Xijiasi has both the general commonality of the northern grassland peoples and its own characteristics: Politically, the Xijiasi has a complex social structure, with multiple official systems of northern ethnic groups and Central Plains dynasties coexisting in parallel; economically, the Xijiasi is a mixed economy in the forest-steppe transition zone, with the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce, and handicrafts, and is deeply involved in the development of the Prairie Silk Road. Trade activities; militarily, Higas fought against tribal regimes such as Turks, Uighurs, and Tubos, and defeated the Mobei Uighurs in 840, which shocked the interior of Asia; culturally, the handed down Yenisey inscriptions show that Higas used ancient Turkic characters, and the calendar used both Turkic and Central Plains. In short, the history of Higas in the Tang Dynasty reveals the complex characteristics of its culture. The Tang Dynasty was the most important stage in the historical development of the Xijiasi nation. The Central Plains dynasty with which they had direct contact for the first time, entered the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of Governor of Jiankun, and resumed contact with the Tang Dynasty during the Wuzong Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Xijiasi also established their own tribe's khanate for the first time during this period, and competed with the Northern Uighur Khanate in the Momo, which shocked the grasslands and the Central Plains. Whether in the history of this nation or in the history of East Asia as a whole, the history of the Tang Dynasty Xijiasi is of great significance.

The Han-Zhao Kingdom was the first political power established in the mainland by the Xiongnu, a minority ethnic group that moved inland, in Chinese history. It was also one of the earlier political powers established by the Sixteen Kingdoms. When the economy of the Central Plains region was severely damaged in the late Western Jin Dynasty, the rulers of the Han and Zhao Dynasties took some measures that were conducive to the recovery and development of production, so that the economy of Pingyang and Chang'an areas in Kyoto could recover and develop. Based on existing historical records and cultural relics and archaeological data, this book discusses the activities of the Xiongnu who migrated inland since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the changes in their social status, narrates the history of the rise and fall of the Han and Zhao kingdoms, and boldly discusses their political systems and social forms.

This book is a general historical reading about the Shatuo people. The Shatuo people were one of the ethnic minorities in the Tang and Five Dynasties. With the changes in the political situation in the late Tang Dynasty, the Shatuo people continued to grow in power from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. Since Li Keyong became the governor of Hedong in the third year of Emperor Xizong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (883), the Shatuo people established a separate local government. They successively established the "Three Shatuo Dynasties" of the Later Tang, the Later Jin, and the Later Han Dynasty, as well as the Northern Han Dynasty, one of the Ten Kingdoms of the Five Dynasties. They ruled in northern China or parts of the north for nearly a century. Based on previous research, this book uses relatively popular language to trace and interpret the history of the Shatuo people, sorting out the entire process of Shatuo's origin, migration, development and decline. It is a special book about the history of Shatuo, with both academic rigor and narrative fluency.

"The Golden Mirror: The Chronicles of the Kings of the Western Qiang Kingdom" is Wieland's masterpiece in his mature period. In Wieland's writing, the Chinese translator translated this "history book" from the Indian language, which tells the story of the Western Qiang Kingdom from prehistoric times to the establishment of a unified dynasty, and then gradually declined and completely destroyed after its heyday. This book uses the night conversations in the harem between the Sultan of Hindustan, his queen, and his favorites as a narrative framework. Through the perspectives, opinions, and attitudes of different characters toward the history of the Western Qiang Kingdom, this book constructs a masterpiece of literary thought that integrates politics, economy, religion, philosophy, and moral instruction. It profoundly expounds Wieland's thoughts on nature and virtue, political ethics and political systems, and the impact of institutions and ethics on the destiny of the country. Taking history as a mirror, the lessons of the rise and fall of countries in history are the best mirrors for future generations of rulers. "The Chronicles of the Kings of the West Qiang Kingdom" ranged from a reading from the Hindustan court to an alternative "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" of the Chinese emperor. After being translated into Latin, Wieland translated it into German. This book is not only profound in thought, but also has countless remarkable points in its narrative techniques.

The Xiongnu were an important ethnic minority in the north in the history of our country. They rose in the 3rd century BC and declined in the 1st century BC. They were the founders and inheritors of steppe civilization and played a huge influence in the historical process of the Eurasian continent. On the basis of respecting history and serious textual research, the author Changfeng gave a brief and complete description of the cultural customs, production methods, economic life, social structure, political organization, national rise and fall, and Han-Hungarian relations of the Huns who were active on the historical stage.

More than 1,700 years ago, Rouran, a descendant of the sun god Apollo, suddenly appeared on the Mongolian Plateau at an unusual speed, galloping across the Eurasian continent tens of thousands of miles away. After 828, European history books unanimously declared that this once-prominent nation had been completely destroyed. In Russia, there are still more than 600,000 people who claim to be descendants of Avar (Rouran). This book narrates the history and civilization of Rouran to readers, and unfolds a three-dimensional and vivid picture of the ancient nomadic country in front of readers, allowing readers to feel as if they are in that era and experience the rise and fall of a generation of overlords in the Mongolian grasslands.

The Swiss nation has always had diversity in the process of national existence, establishment and development, and at the same time it has certain particularities across the European continent. Swiss national conflicts are often entangled with foreign conflicts and religious conflicts. When Switzerland was under dynastic rule in Europe, a group of people of different ethnic groups who longed for the principles of freedom and equality laid a basis for consensus and formed the prototype of the union of their country. This book focuses on the establishment of a republic in Switzerland through the formulation of a policy of neutrality and the baptism of the Reformation and Enlightenment, enabling it to establish a modern "multi-ethnic, non-national state".

This book uses the literary and historical materials of the Yuan Dynasty preserved in my country and South Korea combined with the genealogical documents collected in libraries to conduct a detailed examination of the formation and changes of the two literary families, the Uighur family and the Lian family, who moved inland during the Yuan Dynasty, spanning the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The Shi and Lian families who migrated from Gaochang Uighurs in the early Yuan Dynasty continued to learn and inherit Confucian culture. Although they later divided into multiple branches belonging to different ethnic groups, the inheritance of family learning has continued for hundreds of years, witnessing the process of Huayi acculturation under the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation.

The book provides a panoramic survey of Jewish memory and the compilation of Jewish history from ancient times to the present, and systematically summarizes the ways in which the Jewish nation participates in the past.

This book is written for anyone-Jewish or not-who is curious about the ambiguous relationship between history, nation, and collective memory. In modern society, the important status of history is not necessarily taken for granted, and memory has its own path.

This book is the second part of the "The Story of the Jews" series, which spans 1492 to 1700.

From point to point, it narrates the sad history of Jewish displacement, difficult integration, and business activities in Europe and Asia for more than 200 years. In 70 AD, with the burning of the Second Temple by the Romans, the Jews entered the "Great Diaspora" period in history. Most of them dispersed as refugees to various parts of Europe, especially countries along the Mediterranean Sea. After losing their land and leaving their homeland, the Jews had to survive in the cracks of material and spiritual persecution. Generations of Jews on the long road of exile began to search for their geographical home and spiritual sustenance. Whether they were trekking on the road to escape or on the way to hawking, whether before being pushed to the stake or sitting on the banker's throne, they never forgot their original intention and the root of their homesickness - Zion, because that was the final destination of their entire bodies and minds. Putting himself in the shoes of an interlocutor, the author hopes to present to the general reader a post-medieval Jewish history, a comprehensive assessment of the common Jewish experience, because in our age of constant anxiety, the Jewish search for home resonates more than ever.

The German Empire, born in 1871, only had a 48-year history, but it gave birth to modern Germany and made it one of the powerful countries in Europe and even the world. This changed the historical pattern of Europe and continues to this day. The German national soul cultivated in the war against Napoleon in the early 19th century took root and sprouted in the past half century. From the independent state of each state at the beginning of the founding of the country to the "all people defending Germany" when the "World War I" broke out, the national spirit left a deep imprint on the history and memory of the German people. The historical legacy of the German Empire does not end there. The rise of Germany, which seized the opportunity of the emerging industrial revolution and successfully achieved an economic leap, provided the modern world with a development example of a great power that was very different from the rise of other Western European countries through colonial expansion. Bismarck's flexible adjustment of the market mechanism and the construction of the welfare security system under the strategy of real politics also made the German Empire synonymous with economic prosperity, high national prestige, and strong military power. The glory and glory of the "Founding Era" have not faded for more than a hundred years. This book attempts to tell the short history of this iron-blooded empire from its founding in 1871 to its fall and disintegration after the First World War. It abandons stereotypes and re-examines the historical situation and mental journey of the empire's helmsmen - from the empire's founder, the "Iron-blooded Chancellor" Bismarck, to the "puppet emperor" Wilhelm II who led Germany on the road to destruction.

Social governance in ethnic minority areas is an important part of the national governance system, and its governance theory and practical experience are in urgent need of systematic research. This book is divided into two parts: the theory of social governance in ethnic minority areas and the summary of practical experience. The current social governance theory in China is the Sinicization of Marxist theory, and Western social governance theory also has specific value and applicability. Social governance in ethnic minority areas must be based on the reality of diverse ethnic social values, and the rule of law should be the prerequisite for social governance in ethnic areas; at the same time, basic laws such as the Constitution and the Law on Regional Ethnic Autonomy must be comprehensively applied with local customary laws and village rules and regulations. In addition, in order to properly identify and manage social risks in ethnic minority areas and maintain long-term peace and stability in ethnic minority areas, it is necessary to build a set of social risk identification and governance mechanisms suitable for the stable development of ethnic minority areas.
