An analysis of the Nagas of Himalayan ethnic group study:Taking the Konyak Nagas study of Haimendorf as an example
The Konyak Nagas of Himalayan ethnic group,who live across the border area between India and Myanmar,had caught the attention of the English anthropologist Haimendorf.He continued his research on the Nagas and became one of the most important founders of the field.He conducted systematic research on this traditional society,including social structure,cultural customs,belief systems,etc.,and witnessed and recorded the development and changes of the Naga society in nearly half a century.During the research process of the Na-gas,he turned from a supportive diffusionist to a practical functionalist,and used participatory observation,com-parative research,text and audio-visual recording throughout the study.His research results serve as important references for a more comprehensive understanding of the traditional culture and social changes of the Nagas,al-so provide the valuable experience for the present ethnological research in China,and pivotal inspiration for the construction of the"Belt and Road".
