Features: The Tujia ethnic group is a young yet ancient nation. It is considered young because it has been recognized as a single ethnic minority for less than 50 years; it is considered ancient because this nation indeed has a very long history and cultural traditions. Studying the economic development history of a national region will involve many related issues concerning ethnic history and culture, as well as ethnic evolution and development. This book examines the economic development history of the Tujia ethnic region. In addition to the Tujia people, it will also cover the economic lives of other ethnic groups residing in this area, as well as the ancient ethnic history and economic lives in this region. At different historical stages, they have all made different contributions to the development of the social and economic life. Based on the chronological order arranged by archaeological materials, this book elaborates on the economic activities and production practices of the ancestors in the Tujia region, explores the development and application of production technology, and reflects on the creativity and inventions of the primitive inhabitants, as well as their impact and spread.
