刀安仁——近代土司的杰出代表

Mr. Dao Anren,an Outstanding Representative of Tusi in Late Modern Times

中国土司制度,源远流长,长期存在有其合理性,是中国社会发展一定历史阶段少数民族地区行政建制的合理选择。刀安仁作为同盟会傣族会员,为民主革命作出了重大贡献,是土司制度的叛逆者,同明也是土司头人的杰出代表。但是,刀安仁在民国初年被捕,不久死亡,其冤案至今仍是一个历史未解之谜。

The Tusi System of China had a long history, whose existence has its rationality because it was the possible best ethnic policy in ancient China. Mr. Dao Anren, a member of the Dai nationality and also a member of the United League, was a rebel against the Tusi System and made great contribution to the democratic revolution of China. Though an outstanding representative of Tusi, Mr. Dao Anren was arrested in the early period of the Republic of China and died soon after his arrest, which has become an unsolved unjust case.
