“大一统”与新时代铸牢中华民族共同体意识

“Great Unification”and Consolidating the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation in the New Era

“大一统”是中华民族共同体意识形成的根基与土壤,是中华民族深厚的、根本的历史自信和文化自信,是铸牢中华民族共同体意识的历史密码。“大一统”包含政治一统、思想一统、民族一统、文化一统等多重意蕴,它们彼此关联、相互叠加。在“大一统”思想的主导下,不同民族相互交流碰撞,共同熔铸成中华民族的精神内核与共同价值追求;“天下一家”的文化基因、“经略四海”的生动实践使“大一统”成为历史必然,是中华民族产生向心力、内聚力的深层动因;中华民族共同体意识以“大一统”思想为积淀,在历史发展链条中逐步彰显。从历史逻辑看,“大一统”既是古代民族共同体意识的思想基础,亦是中华民族共同体意识形成的文化底色,共同的记忆激发了文化主体对群体的归属感,形成了民族精神凝聚力的价值遵循与思想指导。新时代面对百年未有之大变局,必须开掘“大一统”之精髓,继承“大一统”之传统,促进各民族像石榴籽一样紧紧抱在一起,凝聚起实现中华民族伟大复兴的磅礴力量。

“Great unification”is the foundation and soil for the formation of the sense of community for the Chinese nation.It is also the base for profound and fundamental historical and cultural self-confidence for the Chinese nation.To consolidate the sense of community for the Chinese nation firmly,we must deeply analyze the historical code of the formation of the community consciousness.“Great unification”includes political unification,ideological unification,ethnic unification and cultural unification,etc.,which are interrelated and superimposed with each other.Under the guidance of the thought of“great unification”,different ethnic groups exchange and communicate with each other and jointly develop the spiritual core and common value pursuit of the Chinese nation.The cultural gene of“one family in the world”and the actual practice of“managing all over the world”make“great unification”inevitable in Chinese history,which is the deep motivation for the centripetal force and cohesion of the Chinese nation;The sense of community for the Chinese nation is based on the idea of“great unification”,which is gradually manifested in the historical development chain.From the perspective of historical logic,“great unification”is not only the ideological basis of the ancient sense of community for the Chinese national,but also the cultural background for the formation of the sense of the community for the Chinese nation.The common memory stimulates the sense of belonging of the cultural subjects to the group and forms the value and ideological guidance of the cohesion of the national spirit.Facing the great changes that have not been precedented in a century in the new era,we must explore the essence of“great unification”,inherit the tradition of“great unification”,promote all ethnic groups to hold together like pomegranate seeds,so as to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
