The article attempts to make a systematic diachronic investigation on the basic situation,main characteristics and the influence on ethnic relations in Tacheng area of Xinjiang from four different historical stages.The research found that population flow is one of the important factors influencing and shaping the pattern of ethnic relations.There is a close internal relationship between the population flow and the multi-ethnic inter-cropping pattern,i.e,the population flow and its trend in the history of this region,to a certain extent,promotes the integration process of local ethnic groups,thus laying the historical foundation of the multi-ethnic inter-cropping interaction pattern.Since the reform and opening up,especially stepping into the 21st century,the large-scale two-way population flow and its close relations have further promoted the communication and integration among various ethnic groups,thus forming a new pattern of integration of multi-ethnic groups.The results prove that the embedded interaction of multiple nationalities under the background of population mobility promotes the communication and integration among various ethnic groups,while the communication and integration further re-energize the embedded interaction among various ethnic groups.In other words,integration enhanced as the process of mutual embedding,the mutual embedding enhanced while during integration process.The two form up a dialectical unity,thus promoting the continuous development of the construction of the Chinese national community.Taking population flow as the entry point,the investigation of the historical process of the multi-ethnic inter-cropping pattern in Tacheng area of Xinjiang can not only benefit the correct understanding of the mainstream of the development of ethnic relations in China,but also facilitates the deepening understanding of the internal logic and regular characteristics of the multi-ethnic inter-cropping pattern.
