西南民族访问团的历史考察

Historical Investigation of the Southwest Ethnic Visiting Delegation

组建中央民族访问团,深入民族地区进行慰问和调查,是新中国成立初期落实《中国人民政治协商会议共同纲领》、加深民族交流、巩固国防安全的重要举措。其中,最早派出的西南民族访问团通过赠送礼品、文艺演出、治病救人等方式,与少数民族建立了良好沟通渠道;通过对少数民族社会历史、语言、文物等调查,加深了对少数民族特点的认识;帮助少数民族组建民族自治区、民族民主联合政府及调解委员会,获得了少数民族群众的拥护。这次大规模访问对树立党和政府执政为民形象、解决民族地区经济困难、消除对西南地区“障之地”的偏见及为此后的民族调查提供方法论指导都具有重要意义。

The establishment of a central ethnic visiting delegation to conduct condolences and investigations in ethnic areas was an important measure in the early days since the founding of the PRC to implement the Common Programme of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference,deepen ethnic exchanges,and consolidate national defense security.Among them,the earliest southwest ethnic visiting delegation established a good communication channel with ethnic minorities during the visit through gift giving,cultural performances,and medical treatment and rescue.Through investigations into the social history,language,cultural relics,and other aspects of ethnic minorities,we deepened our understanding of their characteristics.Helping ethnic minorities establish ethnic minority autonomous regions,ethnic democratic coalition governments,and mediation committees gained the support of ethnic minority masses.This large-scale visit was of great significance to establishing the image of the Party and government governing for the people,solving the economic dificulties in ethnic areas,eliminating prejudice against the southwest region,and providing methodological guidance for future ethnic investigations.
