A Historical Exploration of Ethnic Interactions between the Xizang Region and Inland China throughout the Feudal Dynasties
Across the vast land of ancient Chi-na,Xizang has always maintained close relation-ships,continuous exchanges,and profound inte-gration with the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting in-land China.This paper starts from the Tang dynas-ty to study this communication,interaction,and integration between Xizang and the inland ethnic groups during the feudal dynasties by roughly di-viding it into three distinct stages:The first stage was the initial exchange period in Tang dynasty during which Xizang and inland ethnic groups initi-ated multifaceted contacts,especially after Prin-cess Wencheng arrived at Xizang.In the second stage,the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty further im-plemented a more systematic and effective adminis-tration of the Xizang region,which deepened the interconnection between Xizang and the various ethnic groups in inland China.The third stage ap-peared to be a stable development period of a uni-fied administration of Xizang by the Qing Court.During this period,the Qing Dynasty leadership was paying more attention to Xizang,which both enhanced the ethnic unity within Xizang and pro-moted the development of relations between the Xi-zang region and inland China.The resulting inter-face between Xizang and the myriad ethnic peoples of inland China not only brought them cultural i-dentity and economic development but also laid a foundation for the formation and development of the Chinese national community through close exchan-ges and interactions among the various ethnic groups.By examining the historical interaction be-tween Xizang and the inland ethnic groups during feudal dynasties,one can clearly know that the ethnic groups of Xizang had close interactions with those of the inland regions,and Xizang has always been an inseparable part of China since ancient times.In the process of these interactions,a com-munication way of mutual interaction,mutual im-mersion,and mutual support has been formed.The findings of this paper yield several implica-tions:First,there has been an enduring tone of solidarity,friendship,and mutual assistance be-tween various ethnic groups in Xizang and those of inland China;second,feudal dynasties witnessed a profound intermingling and reciprocal learning of cultures of all ethnic groups in Xizang and inland China,exemplifying a dynamic cultural exchange and blending;third,during the feudal dynasties,along with the development of the history,the ex-changes between the Xizang region and various eth-nic groups in inland China gradually deepened.As the adage goes,"History is the best text-book".The continuous interchanges between Xi-zang region and inland China have created a new situation of interdependence,exchange,integra-tion,and sharing weal and woe.After the founding of the People's Republic of China,the Communist Party of China united and directed the people of Xizang on a correct path of being masters by the people of Xizang themselves.Since the 18th Na-tional Congress of the Communist Party of China,Xizang has embarked on a trajectory of rapid devel-opment,marked by an improved infrastructure,enabling increased exchanges and interactions a-mong various ethnic groups.All ethnic groups have converged under the banner of the Chinese nation,and the sense of community for the Chinese nation has been strengthened as never before.
