康藏与西南:近代以来西南边疆的区域重构

近代的内边分野格局造就了我国特殊的“内方区”观念.在内方区观念的干扰下,康、藏经常被看做是西部边疆、西北边疆的组成部分,而早期的“西南”或“西南边疆”一般不包括康、藏在内.1930年代以来,受到抗战地域格局的影响,康、藏越来越被看做是“西南”和“西南边疆”的重要组成部分.尤其是张其昀等学者提出的区划思路,明确体现出“西南边疆”的重构态势.近代以来西南边疆的区域重构历程,体现出地域格局主导下的区划内涵变化,亦即“经济第一”还是“国防优先”区划原则在不同阶段下的运用.

Khams-Tibet and Southwest China: Conceptual Reconstruction of the Southwest Frontier Region of China since Early Modern Times

The internal division of regions in early modern China helped produce the special concept of "internal region" in which Khams and Tibet were regarded as a part of the west or northwest frontier region of China.The early concept of "the southwest" or "the southwest frontier region" did not include Khams and Tibet.Since the 1930s and under the influence of the War of Resistance against Japanese Invasion,Khams and Tibet were gradually accepted as an important part of "the southwest" or "the southwest frontier region".Some scholars like Zhang Qiyun proposed a new concept of regional division,which helped form the concept of "the southwest frontier region".A historical study of this concept reveals the application of the principle of "giving priority to economy" or "giving priority to national defense" in different historical periods.
