论中华民族共同先祖的确认——兼及“羲黄文化”

On the Identification of the Common Ancestor of Chinese Nation And also a Discussion of Xi and Huang Culture

民族先祖是民族凝聚力的纽带。民族先祖地位的确认是历史地形成的,具有复杂的历史和政治原因。一般认为中华民族的共同祖先是"炎黄",但这种认定未必全面。太昊伏羲是多民族融合的代表,以"羲黄"代替"炎黄"作为我们民族的共同先祖更具有广泛意义。

The first ancestor of a nation is the tie of the nation's cohesion and his position has been established and confirmed throughout the history, with complicated historic and political reasons being involved. In China it is generally considered that the Yan Di and Huang Di were the common ancestor of the Chinese nation, which, I think, is not an all-sided view. Fuxi, on the other hand, is the representative of the multi-national Chinese culture, therefore, and Fu Xi, as the common ancestor, replacing Yan Di can be of widespread significance.
