Summary:

"The research in this book is an investigation and synthesis of the scholars of the Republic of China studying the southwestern frontier of China (mainly including Xikang, Tibet, Yunnan, and Guangxi). It starts from the analysis of the background of the times and the academic foundation. Respectively from different levels such as main issues, research institutions, academic publications, and representatives and using the Southwest Frontier region as a spatial range, it deeply explores the historical situation of the investigation and research of the Southwest Frontier by the scholars of the Republic of China. It also evaluates these academic achievements and interprets their time limitations and influence. It fills the gaps in the study of Chinese frontier academic history during that period"-- Provided by publisher.
