The Bandun ethnic group originated in the Ba region during the Warring States period and spread to Shu,Hanzhong,and even Guanzhong during the Wei and Jin dynasties.In different temporal and spa-tial contexts,the appellations of the Bandun ethnic group can be divided into two categories:semantic appellations of the other and phonetic appellations of the ego.The former category of appellation re-flects the changes in their ancestral memory,tax and labor,and statusadministrative resources;The lat-ter type of appellation corresponds to the construction of their bloodline identity.The coexistence of the appellations of other and ego among the Bandun ethnic group for a long time has contributed to their identity recognition,and since the Wei and Jin dynasties,there has been a generalization and integra-tion of appellations,becoming an example of communication,exchange,and integration between mar-ginalized ethnic groups and the Chinese state,as well as between marginalized ethnic groups.
