Ethnic Interaction and Social Governance in the Ethnic Corridor of Gansu and Qinghai in Late Qing Dynasty—Based on the Case Study of Duowa Tibetan Tribe and Henan Prince Banner
The situation of multiple symbiosis and ethnic integration in the ethnic corridor is caused by con-flicts and communication,especially the conflicts brought about by regional connection,which often transform into a more profound blending force.The violent conflict involving the Duowa Tibetan tribe and the Henan Mongol Banner was a typical epitome of the group social disputes arising from the competition for public re-sources and living resources among the ethnic groups in the ethnic corridor of Gansu and Qinghai from the middle of 18th century to the middle of 20th century.Its emergence and settlement exposed many challen-ges the national governance faced because of social changes such as population growth,environmental pressure,and ethnic interaction,and demonstrated how state agents and civil authorities simultaneously guided and shaped grassroots society changes.In this process,the boundaries and scope of state power and local power were adjusted and reaffirmed continuously,and they constituted together the social governance system of this area in late Qing.The mutual interactivity of ethnic groups was enhanced,the state power had been increasingly dense,and a stable regional cultural community was gradually formed,which laid the his-torical-geographical-cultural foundation for the frontier integration of the subsequent regimes and strengthening the sense of community for the Chinese nation,and the formation of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
