缅甸藏人及其在维系中国西藏地方与东南亚联通中的作用

BURMESE TIBETANS AND THEIR ROLE IN MAINTAINING THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN TIBET AND SOUTHEAST ASIA

在海外藏人群体中,缅甸藏人既是独特的存在,也是常被忽略的存在。通过几代调查者的文字以及现实生活中缅甸藏人的共同记忆可以大致勾勒出缅甸藏人特殊的历史。现实中缅甸藏人的日常生活实践使得“藏缅通道”得以保持畅通,客观上起到了维系中国西藏与东南亚联通的作用。关注缅甸藏人对重新发现并重视西藏与东南亚的关系,以便西藏更好地融入“一带一路”建设具有重要意义。

Among overseas Tibetan groups,Burmese Tibetans are both unique and often neglected.Through the writings of several generations of investigators and the common memory of Burmese Tibetans in real life,the special history of Burmese Tibetans can be roughly outlined.In reality,the daily practice of Burmese Tibetans keeps the"Tibet-Myanmar passage"open,which objectively plays a role in maintaining the connectivity between Tibet and Southeast Asia.Paying attention to Burmese Tibetans is of great significance for rediscovering and attaching importance to the relationship between Tibet and Southeast Asia,so that Tibet can better integrate into the Belt and Road Initiative.
