论民族文化多元一体格局的实质与价值

On the Nature and Value of the Diversity-Based-on Unification Pattern of Ethnic Cultures

自从费孝通先生提出我国各民族是多元一体格局这一概念以来,国内外学术界围绕这一概念曾进行过多次激烈的争议。有的学者认为,这是一个政治性的概念,而有的学者认为,这是一个观念形态的概念。本文作者凭借这一概念提出的时代背景和学术背景,并结合我国民族过程的悠久历史证明无论是"多元"还是"一体"都是针对民族文化而言的概念。中华民族是经过长期历史过程形成的跨文化共享的多民族聚合体,这样的聚合体是并存多元文化长期互动后必然呈现的文化辐合现象。因此,"多元一体"概念的提出是民族学族际关系理论延伸发展的必然结果。

Ever since the Mr. Fei Xiaotong put forwards the concept of the diversity-based-on unification pattern of Chinese ethnic cultures, there exist heated discussion in the academic world, with some arguing that it is a political concep4 and others an ideational one. Based on chronological and academic background, along with a long history of the process of nationality construction, it is proved in this paper that ethnic cultures are what ＂ diversity＂ and ＂ unification＂ aimed at. Chinese nationality is a multi-ethnic assemblage sharing cross-cultures through history of the process of nationality construction, a converging cultural phenomenon under the interaction of co-existing multi-cultures for a long time. Therefore, the concept of the diversity-based-on unification pattern is an indispensable result of the inter-ethnic theory of ethnology.
