Abstract： When “the central China agricultural civilization plate” opened up by Emperor Wudi in Han Dynasty to the territory of China established at last in 1820， the borderland of the “plate”——Korea Si Jun and Nanyue San Jun that were relatively stable， had supported themselves successively. However， the area of Southwest Yi or Xinanyi， with a turbulent history of more than a thousand years， where the traffic was blocked， miasma was raging， the economy and culture was unique and the separatist forces were strong ， was still at the hand of Qing Government. This is because the area was the place where Kublai Khan strengthed his power. He established administration and chieftain system there in order to strengthen his rule. The court of the Ming dynasty，on the other hand， wished to change this area into a rear base depending on its natural and human resources so as to prevent the Northern Yuan’s re-occupation of the southwest. In order to prevent the union of the powers of the Mongolian and Tibetan with the chieftains in southwest and guarantee the supply of Dian copper， the court of the Qing dyansty chose to implement series of policies like “gaitu guiliu”（replace the local chieftains with royal pointed officials） to strengthen its rule in the southwest. The actions taken by the above mentioned three courts and the fact of Central China farmers’ bringing of high yielding crop seeds of America which can resistant to the high plateau， cold weather and barren land in the late Ming period made the southwest area which was regarded as a place “hard to be controlled” in the past， become a part of “the central China plate” at last.

Abstract： In historical literatures， the image of G?npo Namgyel， an indigenous chieftain of Nyarong in Central Kham in the mid-19th century， experienced a transformation from a loathsome destroyer of happiness and peace to a tragic leader of a serf uprising， and later again to a self-serving warlord. The process of constructing the image of G?npo Namgyel shows that the construction of historical figures is rather complex and ambivalent， and is often influenced by various factors.The historians’ ideological focus， biases of official documents， contemporary political context， and current academic concerns all have impacted on the construction of G?npo Namgyel’s image. Historical narration means to construct historical figures within a narrative structure， relying on prevalent narrative methods of the times， and the narrative structure just reflects the concerns of the period.

Abstract： Chieftain of Zhuokeji was one of “the eighteen famous chieftains in Jiarong area”， as well as a major component of “the four chieftains”. Under the rule of the chieftains for more than 600 years， Zhuokeji area formed a unique chieftain culture due to its natural and humanistic characteristics. The major contents of the chieftain culture include the architectural culture represented with official village of chieftain， the religious culture activities with local characteristics and the unique folk songs and dances called as “situguozhuang”. Although the chieftain system died out， chieftain culture in Zhuokeji area still widely exists and becomes an important resource for developing ethnic cultural tourism.We should protect and develop ZhuoKeJi Chieftain culture by setting up the concept of sustainable development， promote industriously the exploitation of tourist commodities on chieftain culture， and develop the traditional festivals tourism to strengthen the tourists’ participation， interactivity and entertainment. All of these measures will be good for promoting Zhuokeji area’s competitive strength in tourists commodities and strengthening the ethnic culture protection.

As a result， while making the country more complete， the people on the frontiers got their national position and civic benefits. Ling Guangdian’s capability in crossing of the time and space also made his frontier practices and folk narration filled with a kind of precious toughness and flexibility and these are just what the contemporary social science studies are lack of.
