“七七”纪念与中共党报对民族集体记忆的建构——以《新中华报》《解放日报》为中心

Commemoration of the July 7 Incident and the Construction of the National Collective Memory by Party Newspapers of the CPC:Focusing on the New China Daily and Liberation Daily

"七七事件"既属重大历史事件,也是构建民族集体记忆的重要资源。抗战时期中国共产党尤为在意"七七"等重大纪念日之于中华民族精神的重塑,以《新中华报》《解放日报》为主要媒介平台刊发大量代表性纪念报道。这些文本既是对历史的缅怀,也是对彼时构建民族集体记忆的重要素材。中共党报通过大量针对性极强的报道突出"七七"之于中华民族的特殊意蕴,借以奋扬民族国家概念,透过媒介不断扩散影响。由此形成了一套历史记忆建构的媒介框架。中共党报构建中华民族共同历史记忆的行为除了鼓舞民族士气争取抗战胜利的现实考量,更深层次则体现了中共藉此重塑民族精神、实现国家复兴的努力。

The July 7 incident is a significant historical event, as well as an important resource for building national memory. During the Counter-Japanese War, the CPC was particularly concerned about rebuilding of the spirit of the Chinese nation by commemoration day like Tuly 7 Incident, and published a large number of commemorative reports on the main media platform like New China Daily and Liberation Daily. These texts are both a memory of history and an important material for the construction of national memory. Through a large number of highly targeted reports, the CPC has highlighted the special meaning of the concept of the Chinese nation and the nation-state. Hence, a set of media framework of historical memory construction is formed. In addition to the realistic consideration of inspiring national morale and striving for victory of Counter-Japanese War, the CPC Party Newspapers’ act of building the common historical memory of the Chinese nation embodies in a deeper level the efforts to reshape the national spirit and realize the national rejuvenation.
