通过对相关彝、汉历史文献的分析,结合田野资料,从主位的角度,考察了彝族的族类自称、族源、世系的自我认识,是否属同一群人的自我界定,族内婚意义上的联姻情况等,以此表明,民族识别以前,在今天被划定为彝族的人群中,在较大范围内应当存在着族群意义上的认同。 Through the analysis of the related historical documents of Yi and Han, combined with the field data, this paper examines the ethnic self-proclamation, ethnic origin and lineage self-awareness of the Yi ethnic group from the perspective of the primary position, whether they belong to the same group of people’s self-definition, So as to show that before ethnic identification, among the people designated as Yi ethnicity today, ethnic identity should exist in a large scope.
