明代 雲南 木氏 土司에 대한 試論

Abstract

Yunnan, an area which was farthest from Central Plains, had an independent culture and history. Nevertheless, its procedure of attribution to imperial court was done smoothly. While some areas such as Sichuan violently resisted imperial court, Yunnan pledged allegiance to imperial court and embraced Central Plains culture actively. Tusi of border became sinicized while accepting Confucianism. With admiration for Central Plains culture, they wrote Chinese Poetry like Han literati, and they enjoyed Central Plains Art. Among tusi of border, Mu tusi of Yunnan were excellent in cultural literacy and had an outstanding sense of loyalty. Mu tusi put efforts into family education for generations, and strived to make an environment for their descendants to learn Confucianism and Central Plains culture. As a result, many outstanding literary people like Mu gong and Mu zeng appeared, and they wrote numerous literary works through the cultural exchanges with Han literati. Although Mu tusi were non-Han people, they received a positive evaluation from Han literati because they were excellent in loyalty and actively accepted Central Plains culture. The positive evaluation of Mu tusi has continued until recently, and a television drama was produced. This is a cultural strategy to highlight One China.
