家園觀光與族群變遷：居台緬泰非漢軍眷的回鄉歷程(1/2)

Abstract

One cannot imagine that an anthropologist or a tourist who visits any Buddhist Tai world such as Thailand, Laos Shan State of Myanmar, Xishuangbanna (Sipsong Panna) and Dehong, Yunnan, China unconsciously neglects religious attention during the exciting journey. In other words, almost al academicians under long-term participant observation and visitors by their leisure or adventure purpose must pay strong interest to Buddhist things in contacting with Tai peoples. Except for some Tai-speaking animistically-oriented groups, e.g., the Zhuang, the Shui, the Buyi, and the Li in southern China, and Tai Dam and Tai Daeng in northern Laos, the majority of Tai peoples have been defined or well-stereotyped as a complete Buddhist world.
