“西口文化”研究现状及反思

The Present Research and its Reflections of the Culture of the Western Entrance

"西口文化"的概念,是2000年左右由包头市"大漠文化研究中心"的学者们提出,历经十多年的研究,成果斐然。学者们分别从"西口文化"的内涵和特征、"西口"的鉴定、"走西口"的原因以及"走西口"移民的影响等方面做了探讨。综合十几年的研究成果,既有成绩,也有缺憾。

The ＂Culture of the Western Entrance,＂ as one concept put forward by the scholars from the Research Center of the Desert Culture about 2,000 years ago, has attained a striking achievement after over ten years＂ research. The explo- rations have been made by the scholars in such aspects as the connotation and characteristics of the ＂Culture of the Western Entrance＂, the identification of the exact position of the ＂Western Entrance＂, the reasons for the ＂Immigration to the Western Entrance and the effect of the immigration. In retrospect, there are both achievements and regrets in the research results of over 10 years.
