“差序格局”视野中的先秦时期民族观

View of nationality in pre-Qin period from perspective of “difference order pattern”

先秦时期,包含"自我"和"他者"两个方面的民族观念具有不可分割的整体性和基本内容没有随着时代变迁而发生改变的延续性这两个特征。这种整体性和延续性,是依托于古代中国社会重要认识工具"差序格局"这一理念而表现出来的。它保证了先秦时期民族观念延续至近代,并对近代以来的中国社会产生了深远影响。

The national concept including two aspects'self'and'other'in the pre Qin period has two characteristics:the indivisible integrity and the continuitywithout changing its basic content as the times change.The integrity and continuity is based on the idea of'the pattern of difference order',which is an important cognitive tool in ancient Chinese society.It guaranteed the pre Qin period national concept to continue to modern times,and has had the profound influence to the Chinese society since modern times.
