Features: This book references a large number of research findings from both domestic and international sources, which have provided material and research foundations for the study and writing of this book. The authors express their gratitude for this. Among the extensive references cited in this book, some belong to unpublished family histories, survey data, and other materials, making it impossible to indicate publishers and publication dates. This is specially noted. The book will combine the social realities of China and its ethnic minorities to study specific approaches and methods for their transformation, ensuring that it not only holds academic innovation but also provides practical guidance for promoting the economic and cultural development of ethnic minorities and the Western Development strategy. The Han Chinese can never be separated from the ethnic minorities, and the ethnic minorities can never be separated from the Han Chinese. Among themselves, the ethnic minorities are also inseparable. We believe that under the leadership of General Secretary Hu Jintao of the Communist Party of China, the 56 ethnic groups of the motherland will tightly unite, achieving new accomplishments in critiquing, summarizing, and promoting traditional historical culture, and in building socialism with Chinese characteristics and constructing a harmonious socialist society. This will strengthen the great national cohesion of the Chinese nation and contribute to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new century.
