冲突与互助:近代西南边疆民族地区壮族族群观念与国家观念

Conflict and Mutual Assistance: The Concept of Ethnic Group and Nation of Zhuang People in Minority Areas of Southwest China in Modern Times

西南边疆民族地区是我国族群分布最为广泛的地区。壮族作为该地区历史较为悠久的土著族群之一,自古就存在着较为强烈的族群观念。鸦片战争后西方列强入侵,伴随大量流民涌入,壮族与迁入族群矛盾与融合加剧,族群观念逐渐弱化。近代以来壮族的国家观念受到西方列强技术器物入侵、政治制度输入、殖民文化渗透等,由传统的"天朝上国"观念逐渐转化为民族国家观念。在此过程中,壮族族群观念与国家观念产生了两种互动形态:强族群观念与弱国家观念的冲突形态,弱族群观念与强国家观念的互助形态。

The Southwest Frontier ethnic region is the most widely distributed area of ethnic groups in China. Zhuang ethnic minority as one of the oldest indigenous peoples in the region has a strong sense of ethnicity since ancient times. After the Opium War, western powers invading, accompanied by the influx of a large number of displaced people, the ethnic contradiction and ethnic integration between the Zhuang and the immigrants intensified, and the concept of ethnic groups gradually weakened. Since modern times, the concept of nation of Zhuang has been weakened by the western powers’ technical objects, political system, and colonial culture,etc, which has been gradually transformed from the traditional concept of 'Celestial Empire' to the concept of the nation-state. In this process, there are two kinds of interactive forms between the concept of ethnic group and the concept of state of Zhuang: the conflict form between the concept of strong ethnic group and the concept of weak state, and the form of mutual assistance between the concept of weak ethnic group and the idea of strong state.
