The Origins of Consciousness of the Community of the Chinese Nation and the History and Culture of Xinjiang in the Pre-Qin Period

早在先秦时期,西域文明就与中原文明发生了紧密、广泛而又深刻的联系。文章依据考古发现和文献资料,从先秦时期新疆的人种部族与交流、玉文化与“玉石之路”、彩陶文化与“彩陶之路”、青铜文化与“青铜之路”、远古的记忆与传说五个方面,阐述了中华民族共同体意识在新疆肇源的基础:中华一体的观念形态早在中华文明起源的初始阶段就已孕育萌生,中原文明与西域文明交往交流交融,为中华民族共同体意识的形成提供了深厚的物质文化前提;中华民族的整体性意识,开始以一种自在的状态生成于各民族的历史活动之中。

As early as in the pre-Qin period,the Western Regions’civilization had a close,extensive and profound connection with the Central Plains’civilization.Based on archaeological findings and documents,this paper analyzed the history and culture of Xinjiang in the pre-Qin period from five aspects:ethnic tribes and intercommunication,jade culture and the"jade road",painted pottery culture and the"painted pottery road",bronze culture and the"bronze road",and ancient memory and legends.The concept of"Chinese people as one nation"was conceived in the initial stage of the origin of Chinese civilization.The communication and integration between the Central Plains’civilization and the Western Regions’civilization laid a profound cultural foundation for the formation of the consciousness of the community of Chinese nation.The overall consciousness of the Chinese nation began to be generated in the historical activities of various ethnic groups in a natural state.
