Xijing Datong Prefecture was an important political and military center of the Liao and Jin dynasties,and also an im-portant gateway for the communication and exchange between the minority groups in the north and the Central Plains,and because of its special geographical location,Xijing Datong Prefecture became a big stage for the interaction and intermingling of the sur-rounding ethnic groups.The setting of Datong Prefecture in the western capital of Liao and Jin created a stable social environment for the interaction and intermingling of various ethnic groups.In terms of economic trade,all ethnic groups actively participated in commercial activities;in terms of culture and education,they were influenced by both the traditional culture and education of the Central Plains and the culture of other ethnic groups;in terms of social life customs,they showed a diversified development.There-fore,through the interactions and exchanges between various ethnic groups,a unique regional culture was formed in Datong,Xijing,which became a microcosm reflecting the ethnic relations in the Liao and Jin periods.
