Focusing on the historical interplay of cultures, the book delves into the environmental, economic, and political evolution of the Songpan region in northern Sichuan from the Qing Dynasty to the 21st century. It highlights the region's complex ethnic relations involving Tibetan, Han, and Muslim populations, while examining its significant contributions to forestry, grasslands conservation, and tourism. Despite external influences, the local communities maintained a strong sense of independence and identity, shaped by unique ecological conditions that resisted centralization efforts.
