Features: "The Tibetan-Qiang Corridor" is a historical-ethnic regional concept proposed by Mr. Fei Xiaotong in the early 1980s. It primarily refers to the high mountain gorges in western Sichuan, western Yunnan, and the eastern Hengduan Mountains of Tibet. This region has been a place of south-to-north migration and movement for numerous ethnic groups since ancient times, serving as a vital passage connecting ethnic groups in the northwest and southwest. The book collects more than 20 papers, which explore the historical and cultural phenomena of "The Tibetan-Qiang Corridor" from various disciplines and perspectives, such as ethnology, anthropology, ethnic history, linguistics, archaeology, and ecology. In a sense, it can be considered an attempt at interdisciplinary comprehensive research on "The Tibetan-Qiang Corridor."
