A major scholary contribution to the study of people in South China. With chapter headings as: The South China
geogra[hical environment; The ancient tribal cultural complex of South China; The history of South Chinese tribal movements and migrations; The Han-Chinese conquest of South China; Han-Chinese population movements and migrations; Tribal upsprings and military colonization; Ethinic distributions and the frontier situation in modern China.
A discussion of the Southward penetration of China's culture, peoples and political control in relation to the non=Han Chinese peoples of South Chia and in the perspectives of historical and cultural geography. A superb anthropological study, also addresses these issues in Yunnan, and of the Yeuh or Vietnamese, Burmese, Yao, Mongols, Nan-Chao, T'ai, Ssu-Ch'uan, Yang-tzu, Man, Miao, Lolo, Kachin and others. A truly fascinating work. The book was first issued under the title: China's march toward the tropics, both with identical content. Both editions are quite rare now. |
