现在50岁以下的人中,恐怕很少有谁知道曾经有过一个叫“西康”的省份。在晚清以前,并没有西康这个概念。西康建省前,从四川雅安往西翻越二郎山,就进入传统的土司领地,泸定以南以彝族为主,沪定以北直到青海边界,整个金沙江以东的区域为大大小小的藏族土司势力瓜分。这一带处在中心藏区的边缘,人们俗称其为康区。“康”在藏语中是边地的意思,“西”指的是四川西部,西康名字由此而来。 1939年底,在这里,因为两个年轻人的一场恋情而爆发了甘孜事件。这两个年轻人的命运也因卷入了自己难以左右的势力斗争而变得支离破碎。 Few people under the age of 50, I am afraid that few people know there was a province called “Xikang.” Before late Qing Dynasty, there was no such concept as Xikang. Before the establishment of Xikang Province, from Ya’an in Sichuan Province, it crossed over Erlang Mountain in the west to enter the territory of the traditional chieftain. The south of Luding was mainly the Yi nationality, north of Shanghai to the border of Qinghai, and the area to the east of the Jinsha River was large and small Tibetan chieftain forces divided up. This area is at the edge of the central Tibetan area, commonly known as the Kham area. “Kang” is the meaning of the border in Tibetan, “West” refers to the western Sichuan, Xikang name from this. At the end of 1939, there was the outbreak of the Ganzi incident because of a romance between two young people. The fate of these two young men has also become fragmented by the involvement of struggles in their struggles.
