关于“藏边社会”的思考

On the Consideration of "Tibetan Frontier Society"

作者认为"藏边社会"的内涵丰富,涉及甘青川滇藏区、藏羌彝走廊、西北民族走廊以及喜马拉雅山南麓地区诸领域的研究。这些地区的社会发展具有一些自己的特点。历史上这些地区有过民族团结互助共同和睦生活的时期,而且民族之间的团结互助给各方都带来过重大利益,不过也有过民族之间矛盾冲突甚至兵戎相见的惨痛教训。在当前形势下,如何做好"藏边社会"的精神文明建设和经济建设,实现各民族互相团结、共同进步,是研究这一地区的民族学、社会学和藏学研究者的一个共同的重大课题。

The connotation of Tibetan frontier society is fruitful and rich, which involves the research about the Tibetan areas of Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and Yunnan, the corridor of Tibetan, Qiang and Yi ethnic groups, the northwestern national corridor, and the south of the Himalayas. In history, those areas have co-operated with each other and got along well with each other. The unity brought vital interests to them, but the conflicts between them brought big loss. Under the current situation, how to promote the material and ideological progress in ＂Tibetan frontier society＂ and enhance the unity of all ethnic groups is the same major topic to study ethnography, sociology and Tibetology.
