Local Perspective on the Evolution Process of Chinese Nation Community:A Study on the Origin of the Sha Branch of Zhuang Nationality in Zhetai Village,Guangnan,Yunnan
The origin of the Sha branch of Zhuang nationality in Zhetai village,Guangnan,Yunnan was studied with the method of combining historical documents and field data.The research shows that the Minzu origin of Zhuangsha branch in Zhetai Village is mainly Hanzu immigrants since the Ming and the Qing Dynasties,and the Minzu identity has changed in the process of adapting to the local society and culture of the local Zhuangzu branch.After settling down in the local area,they maintained the inner and outer boundaries of the village with cultural forms,such as horse racing festival,Nong ya wai and other customs,integrated the inter-minzu society,and shaped the living space of harmonious coexistence of multi-minzu groups.This study demonstrates Fei Xiaotong's view that"Han nationality also enriched other ethnic groups"during the evolution of Chinese ethnic pluralism and unity,and reveals the structural characteristics of"flexible pluralism and resilience"during the evolution of Chinese ethnic community.
