Abstract
The cross-border minzu in Yunnan Province has diverse history and culture, which has something in common with the same minzu abroad in terms of ethnic origin, language, religious beliefs, customs and so on. In order to deal with the problem of cross-border ethnic identity, we must correctly understand the relationship between cross-border ethnic cultural identity and political identity. Through the investigation and study of the Yao Autonomous County in the estuary of the Sino-Vietnamese border in Yunnan Province, this paper attempts to analyze the relationship between national identity and ethnical identity, that is, political identity and cultural identity, taking the cross-border nationality—Yao minzu as an example. It is considered that the national identity and ethnical identity of the same minzu do not have identity, the national identity is higher than the ethnical identity, and the construction of national identity can only fully respect the ethnic identity of minzu, including cross-border minzu. Only in this way can we finally realize the integration of national identity and ethnical identity.

When talking about the identity of the Chinese minzu, Mr Fei Xiaotong mentioned that the identity of the Chinese minzu is multi-level, and high-level identity does not necessarily replace or reject low-level identity
Summary
Minzu has common characteristics in historical origin, mode of production, language, culture, customs and psychological identity. Religion plays an important role in the process of formation and development of some minzu. From this point of view, psychological identity, as one of the criteria for the definition of minzu by the Communist Party of China, plays an important role. Ethnic psychological identity is a complex problem intertwined with many disciplines, such as politics, anthropology, ethnology, sociology, psychology and so on. In the psychological identity of a minzu, it includes the psychological identity of the country from an international perspective, that is, political identity, and the psychological identity of the minzu, that is, cultural identity, in the special group of cross-border minzu. How to properly handle the relationship between national identity and ethnical identity among cross-border minzu is a complex issue
