“天下”观念与中国民族团结意识的建设

The concept of Tianxia and the constructing of Chinese solidarity consciousness

人类的集体生活需要在利益依赖之上发展出超越功利的社会团结意识。我国近代以来的中华民族团结意识将我国对天下观念的认同转化成了对民族国家的忠诚,奠定了我国民族团结的思想内涵和集体思维方式。我国的民族团结意识建设需要以古代儒家和马克思主义作为基本的思想资源,培养和塑造人们中华一体的民族认知、民族情感和民族精神理念,建构公正、平等的民族间制度规范和相互依赖的共同生活形式。

People＇s collective lives need the interdependent relations and also need a solidarity consciousness beyond utility. The solidarity consciousness of Chinese nation in modem time transforms Confucian Tianxia identity into the nation loyalty, settles the solidarity connotation and collective thinking mode of our country. The constructing of our nation＇s solidarity consciousness should absorb the ideals of Confucian and Marxism, bring up the cognition, sentiment and ethos of Chinese solidarity, and found equitable institutions and interdependent life styles.
