The Oroqen (鄂伦春) traditional costume refers to what the nomadic Oroqen people used to wear before they settled into fixed communities. With very limited contact with the outside world and with limited resources, the clothing material was virtually entirely animal hide. With settlement, especially after 1996, animal hide clothing has declined among the Oroqen. As an important part of Oroqen tradition and culture, the Oroqen people keep endevoring to promote costume design through competition and exhibitions. Therefore, this paper seeks to present an insightful understanding of Oroqen culture and the formative features of their general clothing. We explored the formative features of Oroqen animal hide clothing based on an analysis of actual artifacts and literature. As a result, the characteristics of Oroqen hide clothing were found in five types - coats, trousers, hats, shoes, gloves. For the decoration, embroidery and applique were their way of decoration, and Mother Nature was their source of pattern design.

This study aims to analyze the traditional attire of four ethnic minority groups in Northeastern China: Daur, Ewenki, Oroqen, and Hezhen, considering their natural environment, lifestyles, and cultural influences. A literature review of academic papers, books, and online resources was conducted, along with indirect investigations through artifacts. The Daur people, being equestrian, have garments with deep slits, vibrant colors, and elaborate decorations. The Ewenki people wear clothes made of fabric in the summer and primarily deer skin in the winter, and their clothing is simple and not flashy. The Oroqen people's clothing typically has slits at the front, back, or on both sides, and they wear a waist belt. The Hezhen people, an ethnic group that primarily hunts and fishes, wear two-piece clothing with a hip-length top and pants or other fur-trimmed garments. All groups incorporate symbolic patterns influenced by Shamanism, along with animal headgear and leather shoes. We observed that the traditional costumes of ethnic minority groups in Northeastern China share many commonalities in form, but there are detailed differences in material, shape, color, and decoration due to unique geographical and climatic characteristics as well as differences in livelihood. Additionally, the structure of clothing varies depending on each tribe's shamanistic practices and lifestyle.

문화대혁명은 현대 중국을 이해하는 데 있어서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는 정치운동이다. 그간 문화대혁명에 대한 연구는 정치적 음모 내지는 노선투쟁에 집중하고 있었기 때문에, 그것이 지닌 정치지리학적인 측면에 대해서는 주목하지 않았다. 이 글은 적어도 소수민족지구에서 진행된 문화대혁명에 대한 연구는 정치지리학적인 견지에서 보다 실체에 접근한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 전제에서 출발한다. 내몽고자치구와 어룬춘자치기에서의 문화대혁명의 전개과정을 살펴본 결과 중국 지도부에게 변강 혹은 민족자치지방은 '지역' 내지 '공간'으로서 중요한 것이지, '민족'이 중요한 것은 아니라는 점을 발견할 수 있었다. 특히 문화대혁명 기간 중 혁명지도부는 '민족'을 이용하여 '공간'을 조작하거나, '공간'을 이용하여 '민족'을 조작하는 경향이 있었다. 따라서 민족자치구역에서 문화대혁명은 '민족'을 '계급'으로 해체하고, '자치구역'이라는 '공간'을 일반적인 의미에서의 '지방'으로 분해시키면서, '인민'과 국토'로 통합시키는 과정의 일부였다고 할 수 있다.
