Research Abstract |
We have researched on the historical process of the pastoral system by the field work with Mongolian scholars. On the February 1999 we have been to the south-east part of Inner Mongolia, to research on the remains of the dynasty before Mongolian Era, and to collect the information about the living of the pastoral peoples. After the field work we have clearly understood that the equal contact of nomadic society and cultivate society made the cultural complex and has prepared the coming of Mongolian Era. On the August 2000 we have been to the north-east part of the Inner Mongolia to research on the hunting society. Their hunting culture has been broken by the contact with the cultivating society. Drastically the multi-cultural society has coming out of order. On the August 2001 we have been to the west part of the Inner Mongolia and far the southern part of this region, to research on the old Tibetan remains and to hear about the environmental problem from the pastoralists. We have got much information about the destruction of the natural environment caused by the cultivating society which has been invading into the nomadic society. There are clear differences between the pastoralists and the farmers on the accessibility to the natural environment. That means the environmental problem is the struggle for the rights of the minority groups.
