陈赓雅先生的《西北视察记》,是在中国社会面临诸种危机如人口过剩、生产低落,尤其是边疆危机之时对于西北社会的实地调查和记述。他的考察,原旨在于把复兴民族的热望投注在西北这片广袤的土地上,投身朝野上下“开发西北”的热浪。但他的记述,不只限于经济、国防和物产资源,对于西北教育以及西北风土人情等也做了大量的记载。本文试图结合自己近期对青海地区的实地考察,对青海风俗的变化发展做初步研究。 Mr. Chen Ya Ya’s “Northwest Inspection” is a field investigation and account of the Northwest society when Chinese society is faced with various crises such as overpopulation, low production, especially the border crisis. His investigation, the original aim is to rejuvenate the nation’s desire to bet on this vast land in the northwest, join the ruling and opposition up and down “to develop the heat of the northwest ”. However, his account is not limited to the economy, national defense and property resources. He has also made extensive records of education in the northwest as well as the customs and culture of the northwest. This article attempts to make a preliminary study on the change and development of the customs of Qinghai with my recent field trips to Qinghai.
