“赞米亚”研究的回应

Response to the Study of “Zomia”: Reflections on the Ethnic History of China’s Borderlands in the Perspective of consolidating the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation

以詹姆斯·斯科特提出的所谓“赞米亚”地区，对中国的民族史以及边疆史问题提出了新的研究视角，但同时也在概念的流变与阐释当中将中国的领土和中华民族在历史上做了切割，这种“概念上”的分裂对我国边疆史地研究的完整性与统一性造成了极大冲击。通过铸牢中华民族共同体意识在高校史学教研当中的实践，有利于相关专业的研究者能够树立起正确的民族史观与边疆史观，以应对国际学界思想的挑战，主动丰富中华民族这一共同体的内涵和外沿。

The so-called “Zomia” region proposed by James Scott puts forward a new research perspective on China’s ethnic history and frontier history, but at the same time, it also cuts China’s territory and the Chinese nation in history in the conceptual change and interpretation, which “conceptually” divides China’s territory and the Chinese nation, causing a great impact on the completeness and unity of China's frontier history. This “conceptual” division has greatly impacted the integrity and unity of China’s frontier history research. The practice of forging a strong sense of the Chinese national community in the teaching and research of history in colleges and universities is conducive to enabling researchers of related specialties to establish a correct view of ethnic history and frontier history, so as to cope with the challenges of the international academic community and to take the initiative in enriching the connotation and outer edge of the Chinese nation as a community.
