The pioneer academic group of "Bagui School" belongs to the Yellow School. That is, it is generally believed that the formation of the "Bagui School" is marked by the formation of the Yellow School. As early as the 1920s, Huang Xianfan began to think about ethnic issues. He had consulted the sage Liang Qichao about ethnic issues, and often discussed the history of the Chinese nation with Wang Tongling, a teacher of Beijing Normal University, which benefited a lot. 1943, began to investigate and study ethnic minorities, and successively organized the "Guizhou-Guangxi Border Investigation Mission" and the "Qiannan Border Investigation Mission", and led delegations to Yining, Longsheng, Sanjiang County, Guangxi and Juda Township, Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province to investigate the lives of Zhuang, Dong, Miao, Shui and Yao ethnic minorities, and to investigate the education, culture and life of local ethnic minorities. 195 1 In June, Huang Xianfan participated in the Central Ethnic Delegation and served as the deputy head of the Guangxi Sub-Delegation. He went deep into Guangxi ethnic minority areas to express his condolences and learn about the distribution and social situation of Zhuang people in Guangxi. 1In June, 953, entrusted by the people's government of Guangxi Yi Autonomous Region, Huang Xianfan transferred 12 people from Guangxi University who were enthusiastic about ethnic work, such as Huang Guoan, Shen Jianzun, Tan Shizhe, Wang Yaokun, Li, Liu Yongyu, Qu Zhiping, Wang Shaoliao, Huang, Wei Guangqian and Li. Later, he led an investigation team to go deep. The whole investigation lasted 1 month, and a large number of firsts were collected. Most of the team members who followed Huang Xianfan in this survey were his students, and most of them later became professors in various universities in Guangxi. Under the influence of Huang Xianfan's national thought and example, many people began to study ethnology, especially Professor Li, an old coach of Huang School, who made outstanding achievements in Zhuang studies. 1In August, 956, entrusted by the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress, Huang Xianfan participated in the establishment of the "Guangxi Minority Social History Investigation Team" as the vice captain, actually responsible for the work of the whole team, and led the first large-scale, comprehensive and in-depth investigation of Guangxi minority history and traditional culture. Huang Xianfan, who is nearly 60 years old, led the members of the investigation team to go over mountains and mountains and wade across mountains and rivers under the very difficult traffic and living conditions, and went deep into Zhuang villages in Chongzuo, Longzhou, Pingxiang, Tiandeng, Debao and Daxin in Guangxi, collecting a lot of precious materials, which laid the foundation for a comprehensive and in-depth study of Zhuang society, history and culture. With the development and change of Zhuang society, these materials are precious, and they are still indispensable and important materials for Zhuang studies until today. At that time, some members who followed Huang Xianfan in the investigation later became the basic force of Guangxi University for Nationalities. Therefore, these organized large-scale investigations not only collected a large number of first-hand precious materials, but also trained talents, creating conditions for the establishment of Guangxi Institute for Nationalities and the subsequent development of Zhuang studies. After the investigation, Huang Xianfan sorted out a part of the investigation report with 654.38+ 10,000 words, demonstrated the necessity of changing Guangxi Province into Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and provided a theoretical basis for the regional ethnic autonomy planning in Guangxi. 1956, after attending the third session of the First National People's Congress, Huang Xianfan asked Premier Zhou Enlai about the Zhuang nationality.

Views. Inspired and encouraged by Premier Zhou, he began to compile A Brief History of Gelao Nationality in Guangxi, which was published the following year. This groundbreaking research achievement not only fills the gap in the study of the history of Zhuang nationality, but also has positive significance for publicizing Zhuang nationality, letting the world know about Zhuang nationality, establishing its historical position, striving for national autonomy and establishing Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. As the coach professor of "Huangmen" pointed out: "Professor Huang is always eloquent and tirelessly teaches students. At the same time, he deeply understands that example is more important than words, attaches great importance to setting an example and can set an example. No matter what the student is asked to do, he does it himself first. He often teaches students to be honest, diligent and simple. That's what he did himself. So the students are very convinced and admire him. Professor Huang spared no effort to reward and study in his spare time. From 65438 to 0956, when he was the captain of the social and historical investigation team of ethnic minorities in Guangxi, he deliberately selected young people with certain knowledge who were willing to engage in ethnic work, especially ethnic work. Some have also been appointed as the heads of investigation teams in order to cultivate them in the investigation practice. For team members and team leaders, in addition to teaching them working methods and helping them solve practical problems, they are also encouraged to work boldly, so that they can be exercised and improved in their work. Professor Su Guanchang (Zhuang), Professor of History Department of Guangxi Normal University, Li Ganfen (Zhuang), Researcher of Guangxi Institute for Nationalities, and Wang Zhaowu (Han), Researcher of Institute for Nationalities of China Academy of Social Sciences, were selected as members of the group by Professor Huang, among whom Su and Wang were also appointed as team leaders. " "Many young teachers and students he trained later became history experts and university professors."

In a series of ethnic minority surveys led by Huang Xianfan, he taught his team members his own ethnic survey experience and ethnological research methods, while spreading Marxism-Leninism's "national equality thought", which influenced some of his students to gradually embark on the road of ethnological or anthropological research, and the "Yellow School" stood out. During the period of 1957, in order to promote mutual understanding and unity between teachers and students of all ethnic groups, Huang Xianfan planned to set up the "Friendship Association for Ethnic Minorities" in Guangxi Normal University. At that time, Huang Xianfan, Huang Pai's coach and Professor Qin (two lecturers at that time) participated in the planning. Both of them later embarked on the road of ethnology and local history research. It can be seen that the formation of the academic group of the Huang School is a process of continuous development and expansion, which is manifested in the fact that under the direct and indirect influence of Huang Xianfan, his students, private disciples and assistants partially inherited and developed Huang Xianfan's national thoughts and national historical views in the process of ethnology and "Zhuangxue" research, and the members of the school gradually increased, forming a common academic tradition. This process is not only reflected in the continuous growth of the Yellow School, but also in the pioneering research results that the academic groups of the Yellow School have continuously launched in the research of Zhuang studies after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has a wide influence, not only laying a solid foundation for the formation of the Bagui School, but also affecting the formation of other factions of the Bagui School to varying degrees, and finally achieving the growth scale of today's Bagui School.
