The Evolution of Bureaucratization of Native officers and the Mutual Embedded Social Structure of Tusi Areas in the Qing Dynasty
The formation and development history of the mutual embedded social structure among various ethnic groups in the Tusi region is closely related to the history of the consolidation of the Chinese national community.However,due to the existence of the"Liutu"barriers in the southwest region,the development of the mutual embedded social structure has been relatively slow.Through the policy of replacing Tusi with imperial officials,the Qing Dynasty extended the governance models of politics,economy,culture,and military to the original Tusi areas,which promoted the rapid development of the mutual embedded social structure in these regions.The process of interaction,exchange,and integration among ethnic groups was significantly accelerated.It can be said that the history of the Qing Dynasty's replacement of Tusi with imperial officials is a history of promoting the interlocking of residential areas,economic life,cultural customs,and historical trajectories among various ethnic groups in the Tusi regions,which is also a history of the consolidation of the Chinese nation.
