Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a historical study of the Monguor clans in
Huangchung during the Ming and Ch'ing dynasties (1368-1911), based on the Annals of
Hsinging and the Annals of Kansu. Father Schram, 'in order to make the history
understandable,' begins his study from Huangchung during the Tang period (620-906). The
latter half of this monograph is the history of a Monguor t'u-ssu clan, the most prominent
among the clans. This study covers in detail some means used by the Chinese emperors to
favorably impress the Monguors and to make them loyal defenders of the empire; the pecular
mentality of the Monguor t'u-ssu family; and the process of Sinicization of the Monguors.
The author introduces the different ethnic and tribal elements which constitute the
Huangchung population without presenting a working definition of Monguors in Huangchung.
This may cause difficulty and confusion for the reader. Although most of the data in this
monograph pertain to the history of the Monguor and not to contemporary conditions, the
material has been indexed in terms of contemporary Monguor society.
