Features: The investigation of Yunnan's ethnic village communities is a comprehensive survey material on 25 ethnic minority village communities in Yunnan, compiled by multidisciplinary teams organized by Yunnan University. It includes aspects such as population, economy, culture, politics, society, law, marriage and family, education, religion, science and technology, health, and ecology of each ethnic village community. This is a vivid microcosm of the basic conditions of Yunnan's ethnic minority village communities, a fruitful outcome of another large-scale ethnic investigation following the 1950s national ethnic surveys. It holds significant reference value and practical significance for understanding and researching the real-life social conditions in Yunnan's ethnic minority areas. This volume focuses on the Qiang ethnic area, covering its general overview and history, ecological environment, population, economic life, social and political aspects, marriage and family, science and technology and health, education, and religion.
