论我国民族文化政策的“求同”与“存异”

On "Seek for the Common" and "Retain the Different" in China's Policy about National Culture

我国的民族文化政策,最突出的特点是中华民族文化层次上的“求同”,少数民族文化层次上的“存异”。由于“求同”与“存异”的界限不易把握,我国在执行民族文化政策中,不可避免地存在过“左”、“右”为难的问题。“求同”应重点培育新的共同点,避免同化之嫌;“存异”主要是保存与发展本民族的传统优秀文化,避免保护落后之责。

China's national cultural policy is highlighted by 'seeking for the common' in Chinese national cultural stratum and 'retaining the different' in the cultural stratum for ethnic minorities. As their distinction is not easily grasped, we will inevitably feel at loss. 'Seeking for the common' should stress the cultivation of new common points and avoid the suspicion of assimilation; 'retaining the different' mainly preserve and develop excellent traditional culture of the nationality and avoid the criticism against the protection of backwardness.
