1* Introduction 
China is a multinational state. Besides the 
majority Han Chinese, fifty-five minority na 
tionalities have been identified even though the 
number is still open to discussion. 1 These peo 
ples are each the result of a lengthy historical 
Process, and each owns its own specific features 
and consciousness. Immediately after the 
founding of the People’s Republic, many pre 
viously little known minority groups openly 
declared their identities and claimed status for 
themselves. By 1955, over four hundred names 
had been registered by the government. How 
ler, a preliminary investigation revealed much 
redundancy in this first registration, so after 
extensive fieldwork and consultation with minor 
ity leaders the number of minority nationali 
ties officially recognized by the government be 
comes fifty-five. 
Jiann Hsieh, Ph.D. (1977, University of Pittsburgh); 
faculty member in the Anthropology Department, the 
Chinese University of Hong Kong; currently, he is also 
inducting ethnological fieldwork on the Pai Yao in 
Guang-dong, China. - Publications include a series of 
articles on the Xiong-nu in the Bulletins of the Institute of 
History and Philology and the Institute of Ethnology, 
Academia Sinica (1968-1970, Taipei), and articles on the 
overseas Chinese voluntary associations in the Journal of 
Royal Asiatic Society, Hong Kong Branch (1980). 
According to a 1980 census, the minority 
population amounted to more than 55,197,000, 2 
roughly 6.7 percent of China’s total population. 
There are thirteen groups with more than one 
million people each: the Zhuang, Mongol, Hui, 
Tibetan, Uygur, Bouyei, Miao, Yi, Korean, 
Manchu, Dong, Yao, and Bai. Another four 
teen groups have at least onehundredthousand 
members: the Tujia, Hani, Dai, Lisu, Va, She, 
Gaoshan (Taiwan aborigines), Lahu, Shui, 
Dongxiang, Naxi, Kazak, Luoba, and Li. The 
remaining twenty-eight groups all number less 
than one hundred thousand: the Jingpo, Ker- 
gez, Tu, Daur, Mulau, Bulang, Sala, Maonan, 
Gelao, Xibo, Achang, Tajik, Pumi, Nu, Usbek, 
Russian, Ewenki, Qiang, Benglong, Baoan, 
Yugur, Jing, Tartar, Dulong, Oroqen, Menba, 
Jino, and Hezhe. The Hezhe only number some 
eight hundred persons. This can be contrasted 
with the thirteen million Zhuang (see Appendix 
A). 
There are other characteristics of the mi 
nority nationalities to be understood before we 
can discuss the PRC’s policy towards them. 
These can be summed up as follows: 
1 For instance, the Gaoshan is a common expression. 
In fact, the so-called Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan 
includes 9 or 11 ethnic groups such as the Amy, Yami, 
Bunun, Saisiyat, Paiwan, Tsou, Rukai, Puyuma, Atayal, 
etc. Classification may differ with different schools (see, 
for example, Ruey Yih-fu 1972: 49f.). Besides, final 
identification has to be made with regard to the Pingwus in 
Gangsu, the Dengs in Tibet, and the Kucongs in Yunnan 
(see Fei Xiao-tong 1981a: 60-77). In the present paper, 
except for a few popular terms such as Tibet, Mongol, 
etc., all the Chinese characters are spelled in accordance 
with the Chinese Official Pinyin system. 
2 Yang Jin-zhou 1980: 7; according to the 1982 
census, the total minority population is about 67.2 million 
(see Guo-wu-yuan ren-kou pu-cha ban-gong-shi and Guo- 
jia tong-ji-ju ren-kou tong-ji-se 1983; 212-225, and the 
Appendix A).
