近代爱国主义对象辨析

An Analysis of the Object of Modern Patriotism

近代爱国主义之对象已不是以村社共同体为基础的家国同构、君国交织的传统意义上的“祖国”,而是主权国家、多民族国家、人民民主国家和文化之国的有机统一体。其中,人民之国是根本,多民族国家是保证,文化之国是灵魂,主权国家是功用。

The object of modern patriotism is no longer ＂the traditional motherland＂ in which royal family, emperor and nation interweave based on village communities. It is an organic entity involving sovereign state, multinational state, people＇s democratic nation and the cultural nation, among which the people＇s democratic nation is the basis, the multinational country is the guarantee, cultural nation is the soul, and the sovereign state serves functionally.
