The paper is on the transfigurations of the nomadic area in the north-western China.
In Sinkiang Uighur Aut. Region, there are four grazing types in accordance with the movement of a herd of sheep: Summer-Spring and Autumn-Winter type, Summer and Autumn-Winter and Spring type, Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter type, and the whole year type.
In either case, there have been difficult problems to the arable land from old. Through the relation between grazing land and farm land, it raises the question in nomadic people and farming people. In other words, it is the problem between the minority and the Chinese (Han).
In Inner Mongolian Aut. Region, now they are working out a solution to the problem in combining farming and cattle-breeding and formed a new method. With due regard to the physical condition, racial traits, and historical back-ground, they are trying the rational redistribution of the inhabitants nomads come to in the farming, and the farmers in the area also practice their stock-breeding. The formers were settled by degrees, and the latters stopped extending their firm land thoughtlessly. And then cold relations between stock-breeder and the farmers are beginning to melt away.
In this way, now, both stock-breeders and farmers are going out of a precarious life, based on the self-sufficiency. And under the guidance of the present central government, they are gradually having a close contacts with their national economy.
