The combination of geographical diversity, ethnic complexity, and rich historical data has long attracted historians and anthropologists to Southwest China, becoming a site for research whose value cannot be overstated. Beginning in the 1920s, researchers at the IHP have engaged in various related research projects pertaining to ethnic groups in this region. The exhibition explores the themes of “identity” and “distinction” to present the historical processes underlying the formation of minority ethnic groups in Southwest China.
