古代敦煌多元文化交融中的中华民族共同体意识

The Sense of Community of the Chinese Nation in the Multicultural Fusion of Ancient Dunhuang

古代敦煌地区民族众多,除了中国境内的各民族外,还有来自西亚、南亚、中亚及日本、朝鲜半岛的外国人,他们长期和平共处,文化交往频繁,但在文化上互相认同的程度极高。不同民族之间虽互有差异,甚至发生冲突,但总体而言,对中华文化有着密切的继承性。敦煌宗教众多,在不同民族中同时并存,且交互影响。在敦煌诸民族文化中汉文化始终占据核心地位,多元文化围绕汉文化这一核心获得发展,不管是汉族还是其他民族,皆心向中原,以中原文化为崇尚,由“华心”而“归义”,表现出古代敦煌各民族的中华民族共同体意识具有多元一体的独特性。

The ancient Dunhuang region was home to various ethnic groups,including not only various ethnic groups within China but also foreigners from West Asia,South Asia,Central Asia,as well as Japan and the Korean Peninsula.They lived together peacefully for a long time,with frequent cultural exchanges,and a high degree of mutual cultural recognition.Despite differences and occasional conflicts between different ethnic groups,there was overall a close inheritance of Chinese culture.With numerous religions coexisting in Dunhuang among different ethnic groups,they also mutually influenced each other.Within the cultural mosaic of Dunhuang,Han culture consistently occupied a central position,and diverse cultures developed around this core,regardless of whether they were Han or other ethnic groups.They all looked to the Central Plains,esteemed Central Plains culture,and from the"Huaxin"(the heart of China)to the"Guiyi"(the return to righteousness),condensed the formation and development process of the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
