一部献给全球华人的历史长卷——《汉民族史记》卷首语

The Historical Magnum Opus Dedicated to Global Chinese:The Preface of Records of Han History

泱泱恢宏的汉民族,以其伟岸的身驱、悠久的历史、多样的文化、高度的认同屹立在世界的东方。在世界民族的汪洋大海中,从人数、历史、环境上看,如果把民族比喻成海洋,那么,有的民族是“海”,有的民族则是“洋”,汉民族无疑是一个“洋”,是一个“民族洋”。《汉民族史记》以九卷本500多万字的篇幅,来呈现汉民族的历史,想向人们传递什么信息呢?一是向人们传达了汉民族历尽艰辛的苦难历程,百折不挠、坚韧不拔的民族精神;二是向人们传达了汉民族是历史上多民族“混血”融合而形成的历史事实;三是向人们传达了汉民族在波浪式的大移民中,不仅开发了中国,也开发了世界的轨迹;四是向人们传达了汉民族软实力的能量;五是向人们传达了汉民族复兴的巨大潜力,这对中华民族的认同以及认同的过程无疑是一个示范样本,对中华民族的伟大复兴无疑是无穷的榜样。汉民族,在继续书写自己的历史时,与中国各民族一起,在从多元走向一体的历史长河中,将走向中华民族的高度认同和伟大复兴!
