中华民族共同体形成发展的历史逻辑与当代价值

The historical logic and contemporary value of the community for Chinese nation

通过对中华文明五千年发展历史及其演变过程的追溯,以及对中华民族共同体赖以生成的历史基础与存续机制的考察,不难得知,自在意义上的中华民族共同体是伴随着大一统的中华文明共同体的凝聚巩固而逐步形成的,而自觉意义上的中华民族共同体则是在中国近代一系列的政治社会转折与革命实践中才最终得以确立。概而言之,中华民族共同体的历史发展与宏观演化既包含了对于中华传统文明及其内在关系结构的自觉承继与接续,也在中国共产党领导的政治与社会革命中催生了更为团结进步的现代性内容,并由此构成了一个从历史(传统)与未来(理性)两个维度分别延伸拓展,并将显性政治追求与隐性文化关切结合在一起的不断增进共同性和一体性的立体结构与动态过程。

By reviewing the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization and its evolution,and by exploring the historical foundation and continuation mechanism on which Chinese nation thrives,it is clear that the community for Chinese nation gradually takes its shape alongside the aggregation and consolidation of the community for Chinese civilization,which happens simultaneously alongside the “Great Unification”;and,in the sense of self-awareness,it finally establishes itself alongside a series of political and social transitions and revolution practices in China ’s modern history. Thus,the historical development and macro evolution of community for Chinese nation embraces not only spontaneous inheritance and succession of traditional Chinese civilization and its immanent structure of relations,but also some more united and progressive content of modernity given birth by political and social revolution under the leadership of Communist Party of China,and therefore constitutes a multi-dimensional structure and dynamic process that expands both its history( traditional) dimension and its futurity( rational) dimension,combines explicit political pursuit with implicit cultural concern, and promotes intercommunity as well as unity.
