元明和清前中期是广西民族关系发展变化的又一重要时期,这一时期的广西民族关系比较尖锐和复杂。这种民族关系的尖锐复杂性不仅表现在广西被统治少数民族与统治民族之间,而且也表现在统治民族内部之间即土司土官内部及其与流官之间。 The Yuan and Ming dynasties and the mid-Qing dynasty were another important period of the development and changes of ethnic relations in Guangxi. The ethnic relations in Guangxi during this period were rather sharp and complicated. The sharp complexity of this ethnic relationship is manifested not only between the ruled ethnic minority and the dominant ethnic group in Guangxi, but also between the dominant ethnic groups within the T’u-ssu and their relations with the government.
