文化认同在中国早期国家经略与民族整合过程中的功能

The cultural identification and ethnic integration in early China

中国早期四土经营与民族整合过程中,文化至上的国家和民族观为早期国家的统一和民族融合锻铸了强大的向心力和凝集力,不断加速着中国早期四土经营与民族整合的历史进程。天下主义观念和大一统理论主导下的华夏文化的无限延伸与超地域扩展,为中国早期四土经营与民族整合奠定了广袤的地域基础。以德治边的边政思想下的羁縻绥抚政策,初步奠定了秦汉以后统一王朝藩属体制与民族政策的基本框架和统一的多民族国家四土经营与民族整合的深厚的文化基础。

Cultural priority helps with the ethnic integration in early period of China, with positive and profound impacts on the progress of national unification. So the universalism and expansionism enable Chinese territory to expand beyond. The rule by moral helps with the stability of the border regions, which is the basic ethnic policy for the integration of the multinationalities.
