A Brief Introduction to the Major Subject of Ethnology

 

  Ethnology is one of the most active subjects and of the most fruitful subjects in the light of international academic exchanges either in Yunnan University or throughout the country. Yunnan Province, located in border areas, with a multitude of minority nationalities and abundant resources, is famous for some outstanding scholars, such as Yan Chengzhi , Wu Wenzao, Fei Xiaotong and so on. They ever devoted to the teaching and research of ethnology and minority history and made the noticeable achievements in this field. In 1950’s, teachers of Liberal Arts were organized to participate in the investigation regarding the ethnic identification and history of ethnic society, which supplied detailed scientific foundation. In 1995, Teaching and Research Sections of Chinese Nation History   were established by History Department  and History of Minority Nationalities of China was brought in existence in 1961.To our great enjoyment, History of Minority Nationalities was approved to be the key subject of Yunnan Province. In 1997,Ethnology was listed as the key subject of “211 Project” in the state level. Nowadays, Yunnan University has reaped abundant and excellent fruits in the teaching and research of Ethnology, having trained a group of outstanding and experienced teachers. More than 30 teachers and research workers are devoted to this field, among them above 80% are professors and associate professors; The age of all teachers and research workers are below 60: teachers of below 50 with doctorial or master degree. The young   researchers of below 40 account for above 50%. More than 30 students with doctorial degrees and approximate 100 with master degrees have been trained. More than 10 of postgraduates are minority nationalities. About ten thirds of the doctors and postgraduates have been receiving further education abroad. The construction of Ethnology as a key subject is expected to achieve two goals; One is   to  bring ethnology and its correlated subjects to reach the leading standard both in the level of state and of the world, with its own characteristics. The other is to become a base for research and for the development of the talented men, with advanced education in southwest region, providing the scientific foundation for promotion of the societal stability, national unification, the advancement of the society and economic development. December,1999, a Cross-century Field Investigation was conducted involving 5,000 subjects of 25 minority nationalities in Yunnan University. Over 30 professors, associate professors of more than 10 subjects and 80 students with doctorial, master, bachelor degrees  participated in this investigation. The investigation focused on the ethnoecology, ethnic population, ethnic economy, ethnic society, ethnic politics, ethnic common law, ethnic culture, ethnic education, ethnic science and technology, ethnic religion, ethnic history , genetic information and etc. The participants covered several millions of kilometers and 13 administrative divisions, 23 counties and 25 villages altogether. March, 2000, on the basis of the sorting out of the data, as many as 25 volumes had been accomplished with about 4,000,000 words. The achievements are as follows:

1.12 special topic reports and 1 comprehensive report had been finished with 280,000 words, along with a 50,000 genetic information report of Yunnan minority nationalities.

2.A serial of audi-visual aids had been collected. 4,000 photos had been taken concerning ecological environment, tools of production, living surroundings, customs, religious rituals and etc. Besides, about 100 video- tapes were brought back. Some investigation groups even recorded the ethnic languages, folk songs and ballads.

3.Blood samples of 1,300 subjects of minority nationalities had been collected, contributing to a tentative result.

4.Theories were put into practice and researchers become more tough-willed.

5.A group of talented researchers stood out.

6.Much experience were accumulated.

  To sum up, The Cross-century Ethnic Investigation of Yunnan has been a large-scale comprehensive one under the new historical condition since the founding of PRC. The success it has achieved is definitely of great significance to the economic development of Yunnan and the advancement of the society. With the noticeable achievements and the establishment of 25 ethnic institutional bases, ethnology of Yunnan University will become the key domestic study center and internationally   recognized.
