Domestic academics had a great debate on the concept of ＂nation＂ subsequently. In a globalized world of today, resuming the review of investigating ethnic social history and ethnic identification more than 50 years ago, and re - understanding ethnic identification is of theoretical and practical significance. It will have a certain practical guiding significance for our study of the country＇s ethnic relations and the understanding of the substance of Ethnic Studies.
