裕固族研究的几点思考

裕固族研究已经持续了一个多世纪,取得了丰硕的成果,在对人口较少的少数民族的研究当中,裕固族研究处于领先地位。但纵观研究状况,还很不平衡。历史、族源、语言、婚丧等研究处在领先水平,而经济、社会、文化等方面的研究,相对还比较落后。未来的裕固族研究,资料的挖掘、搜集、整理还有相当的空间;研究内容方面,除了继续深入研究历史和族源等外,经济、社会、文化(如饮食、衣饰、医疗、游戏、占卜)、生产方式、人口发展等,都是特别需要关注的领域。在方法上,要运用多学科交叉的方法,协同攻关,不断开拓新的领域,将裕固族研究推向一个新的高度。

A Few Thoughts On the Study of Yugu Nationality

The study of Yugu nationality has lasted a century and got abundant fruits. Among the minor nations with few population, the study of Yugu nationality has been on the leading position. But looking through the study, it was uneven. The studies of history, national origin, language, marriage and funeral are precedent and the studies of economy, society and culture are backward. There are a lot of work about the future study of Yugu nationality. In the study, we should pay more attention to economy, society and culture (eg, food, clothes, medicine, games, practice divination ), production pattern and population development. On the methods, we should use cross-subjects method and open new fields to lead the study of Yugu nationatity to a high level.
