民族现象的自我实现预言与中华民族共同体研究的理论自觉——以顾颉刚的民族思想为中心

The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy in Ethnic and National Phenomena and the Theoretical Self-Consciousness in the Study of Chinese National Community——Focusing on Gu Jiegang's Ethnic and National Thoughts

自我实现预言广泛存在于个体和社会领域,在族群和民族现象中的影响尤其突出,这就要求民族研究要有高度的反思性和理论自觉意识。以顾颉刚为例,他对个体、社会、历史层面的自我实现预言有深刻的认识,对民族现象中自我实现预言机制,尤其是对中国大一统和华夷一体的传统文化精神在中华民族形成中作用的认识也经历了逐步深入的过程,这种认识促使他放弃“古史辨”的民族话语、方法和立场,自觉地将中华优秀传统文化与当时中国民族国家的现实政治相结合,并提出了“中华民族是一个”理论。顾颉刚的中华民族共同体研究的理论自觉,仍是新时代铸牢中华民族共同体意识研究的典范。

Self-fulfilling prophecies are widespread in the individual and social life areas,and their impact is particularly profound in ethnic and national phenomena,which requires a high degree of reflexivity and theoretical self-awareness in ethnic and national studies.Taking Gu Jiegang for example,he had a profound understanding of self-fulfilling prophecy at the individual,social and historical levels,and also experienced a gradual and in-depth process of understanding the mechanism of self-fulfilling prophecy in the phenomenon of ethnicity and nation,especially the role of the traditional cultural spirit of China's great unity and the unity of Chinese and barbarians in the formation of the Chinese nation,which prompted him to give up the national discourse,methodology and position of " Doubting Ancient History" and consciously integrate excellent traditional Chinese culture with the national culture of China.This kind of recognition prompted Gu Jiegang to abandon the "doubting ancient history" discourse,methodology,and position of nationalism,and to consciously combine excellent traditional Chinese culture with the realities of the Chinese nation-state at the time,and to put forward the theory of "the Chinese nation being one".Gu Jiegang's theoretical consciousness in the study of Chinese national community is still a model for the study of building a strong sense of Chinese national community in the new era.
