摘要
在人类学、民族学的文献中，刀耕火种也称游耕、山田烧垦、初耕农业、园艺式农业、降雨农业等。游耕是刀耕火种的一种指称，它强调的只是耕地变动性较大这一特征，而与游居无必然联系。周新文、陶联明同志既然承认基诺族过去从事的是刀耕火种的农业生产活动，那么就无法否认基诺族是从事游耕农业的事实。因此，基诺族是游耕民族的说法并没有错。但是，游耕并非游居，把基诺族视为游居民族则不妥，应该说解放前的基诺族是游耕民族而不是游居民族。
In anthropological and ethnological documents, slash-and-burn cultivation is also termed shifting cultivation, burn cultivation of mountain slope fields, primitive agriculture, horticulture, agriculture relying on raining, etc.. The term of shifting cultivation, as another appellation of slash-and-burn cultivation, merely emphasizes the characteristic that the cultivated fields possess greater changeableness, which has no necessary ties with shifting inhabitation. Since Comrades Zhou Xinwen and Tao Lianming agree that the Jino ethnic group was engaged in agricultural activities of a slash-and-burn cultivation in the past ,then they cannot deny the fact that the Jino people's agriculture was the slash-and -burn agriculture. Therefore, the argument that the Jino people was an ethnic group engagde in shifting cultivation is very sound. However, shifting cultivation does not mean shifting inhabitation, so, regarding the Jino people as a shifting-inhabitation ethnic group is indeed inappropriate. It should be described that the Jino people was an ethnic group engagde in shifting cultivation, but not one of shifting inhabitation before liberation.
