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 where numerous ethnic groups have moved southward and northward, migrating and flowing since ancient times. It is also a crucial passage connecting ethnic groups in the northwest and southwest. The book collects more than 20 essays, 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 said to be an attempt at interdisciplinary comprehensive research on "The Tibetan-Qiang Corridor."
