Features: The Gannan-Qinghai-Ningxia region in northwestern China has been a multi-ethnic area since ancient times, and the diverse yet unified characteristics of the Chinese nation are vividly reflected in this region. The historical formation of the current multi-ethnic distribution pattern in the Gannan-Qinghai-Ningxia region, in a certain sense, is a typical microcosm of the great historical process of the "diverse yet unified pattern of the Chinese nation" proposed by Mr. Fei Xiaotong. This book, based on the theoretical framework of the "diverse yet unified pattern of the Chinese nation" put forward by Mr. Fei Xiaotong, employs the methods of ethnic historical studies and combines relevant theories from other disciplines. With abundant and detailed materials, it explores the historical formation of the multi-ethnic distribution pattern in the Gannan-Qinghai-Ningxia region during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties from multiple perspectives. It comprehensively reviews and reveals the complex ethnic historical phenomena and specific processes of multi-ethnic intermingling, convergence, and multi-level differentiation in this region. It analyzes and summarizes the characteristics and patterns of the formation of the multi-ethnic distribution pattern in this area, providing valuable insights for people to understand and grasp the historical formation of the Chinese nation as a whole.
