民国前期回族历史叙述与民族认同的建构——以《回部公牍》为中心

On Hui Historical Narrative and the Formation of Ethnic Identity in the Early Period of the Republic of China: Taking Official Document about Hui Community as a Center

《回部公牍》作为民国前期回族积极参与政治活动的历史见证,也是一部解读回族历史叙述与民族建构关系的重要文本。李谦等回族知识分子尝试以"民族"作为基本叙述单位,通过具体叙述回族的起源、形成与发展过程、独特的文化、历史的贡献以及与其他民族之间的关系,从而客观上将回族与其他民族区分开来,塑造回族的"民族形象"。这种历史叙述依靠过去的历史为当时回族的发展与振兴确立了合理性基础,并成为回族民族认同建构的重要依据与推动力。

As a witness of Hui nationality people＇ s active involvement in political activities in the early period of the republic of china, Official Document about Hui Community is also an important text for us to decode the rela- tionship between historical narrative and the formation of Hui identity. Some Hui intellectuals represented by Li Qian tried to make an objective distinction between Hui and other ethnic groups to shape Hui ethnic image by mak- ing an account of the origin, formation, development, unique cultures, historical contributions of Hui people and their relationship with other ethnic groups. Based on the past history, this historical narrative has provided the proper foundation for the rejuvenation and development of Hui community and the base and impetus for the formation of Hui ethnic identity as well.
