Features: This book is a systematic study of the social life history of Southwest ethnic groups from the perspectives of history and ethnology. The preface explores a series of theoretical issues, such as the disciplinary attributes, research content, and objects of ethnic social life history, as well as its relationship with other disciplines, from a brand-new height in the development of ethnic history. Subsequently, it takes clothing, food, shelter, and transportation as entry points into important aspects of social life, using a wealth of literature and field research data to conduct a comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth analysis of the internal laws and external phenomena of the economic and cultural lives of various ethnic communities in Southwest history. This book elevates the field of ethnic social life history, which has been overlooked by traditional historiography, to the position it deserves.
