Since ancient times, the peoples of our country have collectively created a great chinese civilization and forged a great chinese nation. The chinese nation, moving from history to the future, moving from tradition to modernity, and coming together from pluralism, has a unique development context and is a great nation standing in the forest of the nations of the world and making a significant contribution to human civilization。
China
The chinese nation is a national entity of chinese cultural identity formed in the course of the formation of the history of a united multi-ethnic nation. Today, china's mainland compatriots, hong kong and macao compatriots and the diaspora are among the most common people. In this national entity, all members form an interdependent, unified and indivisible whole and have a high-level chinese national identity. Although they have different national designations, they are first and foremost members of the chinese people, who share an important common identity, namely the chinese people。
The chinese nation, as a conscious national entity, was formed in the modern chinese resistance to imperialism and feudalism, while its own national entity was formed and developed in china's long history. Although the concept of the “chinese nation” has clearly emerged in recent times, with more than a hundred years of history, as a national entity, the chinese nation has existed for thousands of years and has a deep historical foundation。
In 1902, liang kai first introduced the concept of the “chinese nation”. In 1905, he noted that the “multi-ethnic mix” of the chinese nation, which had not been a single ethnic group since its inception, was the pattern and trend of the evolution of the chinese nation as a result of the inter-ethnic convergence. At that time, there was a social mainstream in china's mind of the han, manchu, mon, rei and tibetan republics. It was further pointed out that “we, the ancient chinese, were able to integrate the small han-turkish into one han; to integrate the small manchus into one full ethnic group; to integrate the small monk ethnic groups into one mongolian ethnic group; to integrate the small ethnic groups back into one ethnic group; and to integrate the small tibetan ethnic groups into one ethnic group. In addition, today's nation becomes a republic... And the five nations become a larger nation”。
The introduction of the concept of the chinese nation and its recognition as an ethnic entity are important manifestations of the chinese people's increasing self-identification in the face of the genocide crisis, as well as an important sign of the chinese nation's own self-determination. Sun zhongshan emphasized the long-term existence of the chinese nation and advocated the building of a highly united chinese nation. During the anti-japanese war, the “chinese nation” was widely recognized by all sectors of society, demonstrating a strong sense of national integration. Gu has just made it clear that “china is a chinese nation” and emphasizes that it should be defined in the sense of a unified state。
Upon its birth, the communist party of china sought to explore ways of resolving national problems that were appropriate to the circumstances of the country, deepening its understanding of the chinese nation and developing its scientific content over time. Long before the establishment of the communist party of china, li dae-hwan had proposed “recreation of the chinese nation” and “rebirth of the chinese nation” as a prelude to the great revival of the chinese nation. He stressed that the chinese should inspire a sense of “new chinese nationalism” based on the integration of all ethnic groups, i. E. The overall awakening of the chinese nation。
In 1935, the chinese communist party, te han and nieung, wrote the "study of the yin yong army" which quickly spread to the north and south of the yangtze river, saying, “the chinese nation is at its most dangerous time”, alerting the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups to their heroic struggle for the independence and liberation of the chinese nation, spreading the concept of the “chinese nation” throughout society and promoting its full awakening. The song was dubbed “the horn of the liberation of the chinese nation” and was designated after the establishment of the new china as the national anthem。
In 1939, mao zedong stated in the opening article of the chinese revolution and communist party of china, “the chinese nation”: “we in china now have 450 million people, almost a quarter of the world's population. Of these 450 million people, more than 9 out of 10 are han. In addition, there are dozens of ethnic minorities, such as monk, hue, tibetans, uighurs, hmongs, zhuangs, strong men, middle families, koreans, etc., which have a long history of cultural development, albeit to varying degrees. China is a country of large populations made up of a majority population.” in 1940, mao stated in the new democratism that we “all aim at building a new society and a new state for the chinese nation”。
Since the establishment of the new china, the communist party of china has further enriched the chinese nation from the point of view of preserving national unity and national unity, explaining that the chinese nation is a historical, pluralistic, independent and cohesive national entity. Since the 18th congress of the party, the party's centre, with comrade xi at its core, has further developed its understanding of the scientific content, basic composition of the chinese nation and relations among the ethnic groups in our country, making it clear that “the relationship between the chinese nation and nation is one of extended family and family members and one of different members of the family” and that “the ethnic group is as close as the seed of a pomegranate”. In march 2018, the thirteenth national people's congress formally enshrined the “chinese nation” in the constitution。
In short, although the chinese national concept has emerged only in recent times, the national entity to which it refers is clear. The chinese nation is not a simple fold of china's 56 nations, but a large family of “you have me, i have you, no one can leave you”; it is not an “imaginable community”, but rather a community of destiny that has immersed itself in china's civilization for more than 5,000 years and has been brought together and shared by all。
China national community
In the new era, the secretary-general of xi jinping has creatively explained the political, historical and civilizational dimensions of the chinese national community from the high level of government and governance, making it the core concept of the new age party's national theory and policy. The chinese people, together with the word “community”, are not synonymous, but rather highlight the intrinsic characteristics of the “chinese nation”, with a clear sense of the times pointing to reality。
The first is to give greater prominence to the unity, unity and indivisibility of the chinese nation. Through a long period of interaction and interaction, the ethnic groups have continued to enhance their political, economic, social and cultural commonality and have become the chinese national community. The emphasis on the identity of the community is to emphasize that the formation and development of the chinese nation is an organic process of integration that is both natural and political in nature; the constituent elements of the chinese nation include 56 nations today, as well as the ethnic groups that have existed in our history, and the chinese nation is the national entity at the state level, with all ethnic groups subordinate to it。
The second is to give greater prominence to the diversity of the chinese nation. The chinese nation is a pluralist group that is constantly formed by all nations: “you have me, i have you, no one is left behind”. The chinese nation is one and diverse. It is inclusive, inclusive and cohesive, and it is pluralistic, supportive and rich. The emphasis on the identity of the community is to emphasize that “one” and “many” are interdependent, that the chinese nation and peoples cannot be opposed to each other, that the ethnic minorities and the han people cannot be opposed to each other, that the national communities should be actively guided to the primacy of the interests of the chinese nation at all times, and that they must remain committed to the promotion of inter-ethnic integration and integration。
Thirdly, china's modernization is being promoted more vigorously. The current and future period is a critical one for the comprehensive promotion of nation-building and national renewal in china. The emphasis on the identity of the community is intended to show that there is no less people to build fully a modern socialist state and to highlight the socialist nature of modern china. China's modernization must be pursued with the great unity of the chinese nation. It must be adapted to the new trends of structural change and integration of population movements. It must strengthen the economic drive, the social foundations and the cultural spirit of china's modernity. It must continue to strengthen the main building blocks of china's great renaissance。
Fourth is to be more determined in guiding the national work of the new age party. The emphasis on the identity of the community is to emphasize the strengthening and improvement of the national work of the party in the direction of the promotion of commonality, respect for and tolerance of differences; the constant consolidation of the common ideological and political foundation of the struggle for national unity, the valuing, consolidation and development of socialist national relations in harmony and solidarity between equals and one another; and the determined preservation of national unity and unity and the consolidation of efforts to address internal and external challenges and promote nation-building and national renewal。
China national community awareness
In the face of the overall strategy for the great revival of the chinese nation and the major changes that have not occurred in the world for a hundred years, the central party, centred on comrade xi jinping, has established “building the awareness of the chinese national community” as the focal point for the national work of the new age party and for all its work in the national areas。
The awareness of the chinese national community is a reflection of the objective existence of the chinese national community in the minds of all peoples. It is rooted in the community concept of solidarity, pride, death, destiny and commonwealth of all peoples. It is the highest recognition of the chinese nation by all peoples and the resulting sense of belonging, identity and honour to the chinese nation. The chinese nation is an indivisible national nation, and all peoples must recognize and be faithful to the chinese national community and share the historic mission of achieving the great renaissance of the chinese nation。
The formation of the chinese national community is a necessary requirement for the defence of the fundamental interests of all peoples, the consolidation and development of socialist national relations, the realization of the great renaissance of the chinese nation and the creation of a new situation for the national work of the party. The national work of the new age party and all its work in the national areas must be guided by the firmness of the chinese national community awareness, which is the basis of the idea of the chinese national community; the firmness of the identity of the chinese people towards the great homeland, the chinese nation, the chinese culture, the chinese communist party and the chinese socialism, which is the fundamental goal of the chinese national community; and the promotion of national, civic and legal awareness, which is an important element of the chinese national community awareness。
