教化、“归化”与文化——清代清水江流域苗族侗族地区与法律有关的教育文化事象

Enlightenment,Naturalization,and Culture——Educational and Cultural Issues Relevant to the Law in Miao and Dong Area along Qingshui Basin

清水江文书,又称"锦屏文书",目前在清水江流域各县民间还存有30余万份,契约文书本身是清初到民国林业商品经济的体现,但苗族侗族群众使用汉字书写林业契约文书,乃是吸取先进汉文化的重要过程和明显标志。清政府对清水江民族地区的教化措施及文化的普及在其间起着巨大的推动作用。

Qingshuijiang documents are also named as Jinping documents. Currently, there are over 300,000 documents left along the Qingshuijiang basin. Forestry contracts from early Qing to the republic of China reflected the commercial economy. The fact that Miao and Dong people used Chinese characters to write their forestry contracts is an important process and obvious symbol that they absorbed the advanced Han culture. The Qing government played an important role in the enlightenment and universal culture in the Qingshuijiang minority areas.
