An Analysis of the Communist Party of China's Tibet-related Ethnic Work during the Yan'an Period
During the Long March,when the Red Army passed through the Tibetan-inhabited areas in western Si-chuan,the relationship between the Red Army and the local Tibetan people deteriorated due to the mistakes made by Zhang Guotao,the main leader of the Red Fourth Front Army,in ethnic work.During the Yan'an period,the Communist Party of China(CPC)seriously summarized the lessons learned from its ethnic work,and then pro-posed a relatively specific ethnic theory and policy.At the same time,the CPC Central Committee paid attention to cultivating Tibetan cadres,and building a team of professionals to do in-depth research on Tibet-related work,and made some research achievements on Tibet-related work.The publicity of the Party's ethnic policy en-hanced the Tibetan people's sense of Chinese national identity.During the Yan'an period,the transformation of ethnic policy was realized,the ethnic work concepts changed,and cadres and talent reserve was done.These en-deavors laid the political,theoretical and cadre foundation for the subsequent peaceful liberation of Tibet and the subsequent governance of Tibet and Tibetan-inhabited areas in the other four provinces.
