羌族入黔考

The Qiang People Who Migrated to Guizhou

羌族并非贵州的土著居民,而是从外地移民过来的。文章对贵州羌族的族源地、迁入时间和迁入缘由等相关问题进行了考证和逻辑推理与分析,认为贵州羌族是于明末清初由川西北岷江上游地区迁徙而来的。在明末清初政局动荡、战乱纷争的背景下,一部分川西北羌族士兵随大西军余部入黔,后因军事形势不利而逃亡于湘黔边境。他们入黔之初颠沛流离,后在铜仁的江口、石阡等地立稳脚跟,逐渐繁衍。羌族如今是贵州诸多民族中的重要一员,是贵州的17个世居少数民族之一。

The Qiang people are not indigenous to Guizhou;their ancestors came from elsewhere. This paper believes that the Qiang nationality in Guizhou today are the offspring of the Qiang people who moved here from the upper reaches of the Minjiang River in northwestern Sichuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties after investigating their origin and the time and reason of their immigration. Political turmoil and war were rampant in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. As part of the Daxi Army,some Qiang soldiers from northwestern Sichuan entered Guizhou,only to flee to the border between Hunan and Guizhou after a series of military setbacks. These soldiers were homeless when they arrived,but later gained a foothold and grew in numbers in Jiangkou and Shiqian,Tongren. The Qiang nationality is now an important member and one of the 17 resident ethnic groups of multi-ethnic Guizhou.
