Abstract

China is a country with many minor ethnical groups. Since the founding of the People ‘s Republic of China, especially since the opening and reform, the literatures of minor ethnical groups have made great progress in their development, among which three northern minor ethnical groups—Daur, Evenki, Oroqen, which are collectively referred to as the Three Ethnic Minorities are unique. In home and abroad, much and extensive attention have been paid by literature researchers to whether their collection and processing of folk literature or continuous new writers and their new works. Especially with the dramatic rise of the study on Inner Mongolian grassland culture in the 21st century, the studies on the Three Ethnic Minorities’ literature, as the important component of grassland culture, have made significant achievements. However, there still exist some problems in the studies, such as the insufficient quality and quantity and the unbalanced distribution of the research results, and the in adequate depth and extension of the literature critique.
