The Evolution of Mongolian-Tibetan Ethnic Relations in Gansu and Qinghai in the 18th century from the Perspective of State Presence—Centered around The Biography of the Second vJam-dbyangs
The central government of the Qing Dynasty went through a tortuous process of establishing its ruling authority on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,including the governance of Tibetan with Mongolian,the differentiated governance of Mongolian and Tibetan,the governance of Tibetan with Tibetan,and direct jurisdiction.The turning point in the mChod-yon(patron and priest)relationship between the Gelugpa Labrang Monastery of Ti-betan Buddhism and the front banner of the Mongolian Khoshut tribe,is precisely the historical epitome of this context in the Gansu and Qinghai regions.From the perspective of"state presence"theory,which discusses the interaction between state and society,combined with relevant historical facts in The Biography of the Second vJam-dbyangs,it can be inferred that in the early Qing Dynasty,while gradually improving control and jurisdic-tion over the Mongolian and Tibetan areas in Gansu and Qinghai,corresponding unconscious integration was also carried out within there.When the authority of the central government penetrated into the areas,the relationship between the Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic groups showed a trend of centripetal consciousness and harmonious communication,and then the unification of the Qing Dynasty became increasingly consolidated.In this case,we can see the development process of sharing historical symbols,shaping collective memory and enhancing national identity among the Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic groups in Gansu and Qinghai in the 18th century,providing richer historical experience for ethnic contacts,exchanges and integration to form a unified multi-ethnic country,so as to have a comprehensive understanding of the pluralistic and integrated pattern of the Chinese nation.
