民国时期西南边疆民族赴内地活动情形述论

On the Activities of the Ethnic Groups from Southwest Frontier into the Inland during the Period of the Republic of China

民国时期,世居西南边疆地区的一些民族人士,时有前往内地观光、请愿、求学、经商、就业等情形。虽然总体来看,在整个民国时期由西南边疆去到内地的人数有限,但正是这些人员的往返,给西南边疆各民族自身、各级政府、内地社会各界带来了一定的影响和触动;更为深层地看,这种社会活动对于加强内地与边疆各民族的交往交流交融、对于增进西南边疆地区的国家认同、对于强化西南边疆民族的中华民族共同体意识等都发挥了积极的促进作用。

During the period of the Republic of China, some people from ethnic groups living in the southwest frontier for generations, went to the inland for sightseeing, petition, study, business and employment. Overall, in the whole period of the Republic of China, the number of people from the southwest frontier to the inland was limited. However, it was their round-trip between the inland and the southwest frontier that brought the influence and touch to the ethnic groups themselves, governments at all levels, all sectors of society and the people in the inland. At the deep level, these social activities promoted the exchanges and integration between the inland and ethnic groups in the frontier, strengthen the national identification and the sense of Chinese national community for the ethnic groups in the southwest frontier.
