论中国近代民族主义

On Modern Chinese Nationalism

所谓民族主义,就是民族整体利益高于一切的民族本位主义,它在不同的时空、不同的历史条件下所表现出的内容不尽相同,具有两重性。中国近代民族主义是在中华民族固有生存方式受到严重威胁的情况下,作为一种救亡图存的思想工具而被提倡和认同的。它在救亡图存、恢复民族的自尊自信以及建立近代民族国家等方面,都曾发挥过积极的作用。

So called nationalism is national selfish departmentalism which regards the benefit of the whole nation as the most important. In different time and space and historical terms, it does not manifest the same contents and it has dual nature. Chinese modern nationalism, as a means of saving the nation from subjugation and ensuring its survival, was promoted and approved to be an ideological tool when Chinese national innate life -style was seriously threatened. It has brought into play vigorously in saving the nation from subjugation and ensuring its survival, in reinstating national strength and self - confidence and in establishing a modern country.
