Communication And Integration Of Multiple Edges:A Study On The Historical Process Of Cultural Interaction In The Corner Area Between China,Myanmar And India

The corner area between China,Myanmar and India is a unique geographical,ecological and cultural area.Geopolitically,the region is located at the junction of China,Myanmar and India,which is traditionally far away from the political and cultural centers of each country.The unique natural climate environment and special terrain conditions in the area have created favorable conditions for the migration of various types of creatures from north to south and the integration of east and west,and become a corridor area bearing the migration and flow of multiple ethnic groups.From the perspective of cultural characteristics,the intersection area of ChinaMyanmar-India is the intersection area of South Asian civilization and Chinese civilization,as well as the integration and collision area of Tibetan culture,Han culture,Southeast Asian culture and various ethnic cultures.It is the special geographical and cultural characteristics that make it a unique landscape where many ethnic groups live together and different types of cultures blend and interact under the joint action of ethnic migration,historical evolution,cultural collision and integration,social development and other factors.However,due to the comprehensive reasons such as the aggression of modern imperialism,the delimitation and disputes of national borders,and the long-term existence of national armed conflicts,the regional integrity and linkage are basically shielded or ignored.Therefore,only by integrating the complex "multiple marginal zone" of the corner area between China,Myanmar and India from the perspective of large geographical space,and combing the migration and flow of different ethnic groups in a long historical period,can we reveal the formation process of this "broken and complete regional zone",so as to realize the multi-ethnic mixed living The complex national structure of multicultural symbiosis and the formation process of cultural characteristics.Only in this way can we systematically deconstruct the complex problems existing at the border with the surrounding countries and more accurately grasp the development trend of the surrounding countries,which is the basis for three-dimensional,multi-dimensional and cross time and space research.Due to the large regional scope,long time span and numerous ethnic groups involved in this study,it is relatively difficult to collect data.Therefore,using the research methods of ethnology and anthropology for reference,most of the qualitative research methods are used to conduct in-depth and holistic research on the interaction and integration of multi-ethnic cultures in the research area.And use the spatial analysis method,from the Angle of the whole area build different analytical framework of regional environment,combining comprehensive evaluation of geography geographical environment and ethnic and cultural pattern,system of deconstruction to the geographical characteristics and cultural landscape,on the basis of comprehensive analysis of natural geographical environment and the internal relations between national culture pattern.Through the analysis of the evolution process of different ethnic cultures contacting,colliding,colliding,integrating and coordinating symbiosis in this special region,we find that as early as the Stone Age,the culture at the intersection of ChinaBurma-India has been characterized by homogeneity and sharing.With the migration and flow of rice farming groups,the southern part of the intersection area and southeast Asia were included in the scope of rice culture circle,and this area also became the overlap area of the northern dry farming belt and the southern rice farming belt.After the opening of the Southern Silk Road,the road connecting China,Myanmar and India also changed from an ancient road to a trade road,completing the process from point to line,line to plane,and finally forming a long-distance crosscultural communication network.Through these important channels of cultural and economic exchanges between China and Myanmar,India and other countries,monks followed the footsteps of the caravans to connect the regions and ethnic groups of the same religion in the region,making the China-Myanmar-India intersection area a gathering place of various religious cultures.Finally,the cultural elements in the region show a state of long-distance cross-cultural communication network from point to line,and then from line to network and surface.The main innovations of this paper are:First,by combing the patterns of cultural interaction in the corner area between China,Myanmar and India in a long historical period,it comprehensively shows the morphology and characterization of multi-type cultural exchanges in the history of the region.Secondly,it makes an in-depth analysis of the historical exchange space and change characteristics of stone culture,rice road,Southern Silk Road and multi religious culture,and analyzes the interactive characteristics and manifestations of different types of cultural characteristics in the corner area between China,Myanmar and India.Third,it creatively explains how the corner area between China,Myanmar and India uses various exchanges as a link to promote the spatio-temporal evolution driving mechanism of regional connection as a whole.On the whole,the cultural interaction at the intersection of China,Myanmar and India is formed through the interweaving and overlapping of different forms of boundaries such as geography,ecology,ethnic group and religion.These tangible and invisible boundaries are in essence the product of the combination of geographical boundaries and cultural boundaries.From the perspective of modern relations between China,Myanmar and India,it is necessary to cross multiple boundary restrictions to better realize cultural interaction,symbiosis and integration.
