Research On The Social Survey Of Xi Kang By Chinese Scholars During The All-out Resistance

Since modern times,with the gradual penetration of Western powers,border crises have been frequent,and border areas have gradually become an important area coveted,explored and preached by explorers,investigators,military officers and missionaries from all over the world,and also stimulated the attention and investigation of Chinese people on border issues.From the prosperity of the study of the history of the Northwest Frontier before and after the Opium War to the proposal and development of "border politics" in the more than 20 years before and after the Anti-Japanese War,the traditional idea of "applying the world to the world" and the path of governing the world have added new contents such as "saving the country by industry" and "saving the country through education".In the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,the attention of all walks of life in China to the frontier issue was also enhanced by the grim situation and the unprecedented concentration of academic forces,and some new characteristics and trends also emerged in frontier studies,such as the strengthening of research on the actual problems of frontiers,the convergence of frontier studies,and the evolution of traditional frontier historical studies to modern disciplines.During this period,Xikang became an important practice place for Chinese people to recognize and transform the frontier,revitalize China,and condense national identity.Chinese scholars are one of the important groups.They conducted investigations in private names or in groups,and widely disseminated the investigation reports on Xikang’s customs,economy and trade,Tibetan Buddhism,toast,and social issues through new media(newspapers,periodicals,books),so that the Chinese people had a more accurate understanding of the unfamiliar Xikang,a channel for political,economic,and cultural exchanges and integration between China and Tibet.At the same time,they were worried about the problems existing in Xikang society and put forward a series of thoughts on the development and construction of Xikang frontiers,which to a certain extent affected the governance of local authorities under the central government,promoted the slow progress of Xikang ethnic areas and bred hotbeds for reform and development after 1949.In addition to the introduction,this article is divided into 5 chapters and 11sections: Chapter 1: The revival of the wave of frontier investigation during the Anti-Japanese War period,sorted out the crisis of China’s frontier since the late Qing Dynasty,analyzed the attitude of the government and academic circles during the Anti-Japanese War period,and proposed and established "border politics";Chapter 2:Investigation of Xikang customs and economy and trade by Chinese scholars under the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,Chapter 3: Investigation of Xikang Buddhism and Tusi by Chinese scholars under the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression;Chapter 4: Investigation of the Social Problems of Xikang by Chinese Scholars under the Comprehensive War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,these three chapters are the logical progression of the social investigation of Xikang by Chinese scholars,forming a deeper understanding of the social system of Xikang,and proposing a solution path.Chapter 5: The characteristics and values of Xikang social investigation of Chinese scholars under the Comprehensive War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,summarizes the characteristics of the investigation of border ethnic areas of Chinese scholars,and analyzes the pluralistic values in ethnic consciousness,academic research and regional development.
