Research on the Construction of Chinese National Park System Based on Sustainable Development Theory

To make full use of Chinese natural heritage resources and achieve their sustainable development, it is imperative and necessary to construct Chinese National Park System. Based on the theory of sustainable development and the connotation of national park, this paper will discuss the signifi cance of establishing Chinese National Park System and then propose some measures. Chinese National Park System can be constructed from four levels, including policy, management, economic and social levels, and through such ways as reconstructing the national conservation system, making laws and regulations, establishing planning system, setting up independent and specialized regulatory agency, adopting way of franchising, innovating funding investment mechanisms and establishing mechanisms of public participation.

On Chinese Civilization Being the Only Continued Civilization in the Viewpoint of the Modern National History Construction

Chinese civilization is the only ancient civilization thriving to this day seems to be a common view in the historical academia and Chinese society as well. Culture is a way that human beings actively adapt to the surroundings and keep consistence with environmental change. All cultures created by human beings are changing, so is the Chinese culture. The physical and cultural evolution presented by the archaeological discoveries and related historical researches show that Chinese culture is multi-sourced and multicultural. This is the secret for the Chinese culture to retain its vitality. The reasons that Chinese civilization is the only civilization thriving to this day among all of ancient civilizations in the world include the ancestral worship, the identity to common ancestors, traditions of writing pedigrees and history books, the longhistory Chinese character system and the creative thinking and cultural methods of interpreting new thoughts by using traditional Chinese thinking and cultural structures. Especially in modern times, impacted by the nationalism trend, the national state narration built for meeting the requirement of the national state"historical memory"left us the strong impression of Chinese civilization being the only continued civilization and fostered the affective identification with the common history.

Building a Community for the Chinese Nation in the Context of National Cohesion

Mr.Fei Xiaotong once pointed out that Han people has played a central cohesive role in the formation of the unified multi-ethnic Chinese nation.The emergence and popularization of the concept of“Chinese nation"is itself a manifestation of national cohesion.The history of unified multi-ethnic Chinese nation since the Qin and Han dynasties has laid the foundation of the community for Chinese nation.The building of the community for the Chinese nation is both a realistic subject and a historical process.Since its founding,the Communist Party of China(CPC)has been committed to pushing forward the establishment of a community for the Chinese nation.The ultimate purpose of fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation,standing firmly with“Five Identities",and enhancing our identity with and pride in the Chinese nation,is to improve national cohesion of China.A community for the Chinese nation is a critical expression for Chinese national cohesion;and to push forward the establishment of a community for the Chinese nation in the new era is one of the key measures to improve Chinese national cohesion.

On the Formation of Chinese Nation as One Community from the Perspective of Reading History——Taking the Liao,Western Xia,Jin,Yuan Dynasties as Research Focuses

The formation of the Chinese nation as one community is not only the result of the interaction of various factors such as politics,economy,culture,and natural environment,but also an inevitable trend in historical development.However,cultural identity and integration are the most important factors.Classics are the essence of national culture,and they have always played an important role in shaping,communicating,identifying,and integrating ethnic cultures.In Chinese history,regardless of whether various ethnic groups were in control of a region or entered the Central Plains,they relied on reading Chinese classics and learning Chinese culture as the basis for their survival,and identified themselves as members of the Chinese nation.This eternal historical law is particularly evident in the Liao,Western Xia,Jin,and Yuan dynasties.Summarizing the reading history of these ethnic groups and societies,learning from their historical experience,and exploring and inheriting the reading cultural resources of the Chinese nation are necessary for the formation of the Chinese nation as one community.

On Theories and Methods of Modern Civilization for Promoting the Building of Community for the Chinese Nation

The community of the Chinese nation,in its essence,is a community of civilization.On the basis of extensive and in-depth exchanges and integration and interaction,people from all ethnic groups in China collectively nurtured Chinese civilization,which has prominent features of continuity,innovation,unity,inclusiveness,and peacefulness and lays a solid foundation for the building of community for the Chinese nation of the time.In the context of the new era,the Party advances the building of community for the Chinese nation on all fronts and has successfully made a series of achievements to promote ethnic unity and progressions through promoting material,political,cultural-ethical,social,and ecological advancement.As we advance the building of modern Chinese civilization on all fronts,strengthening foundations for economic,political,cultural,social,and ecological development can foster new drivers for the modernization of the civilization of community of the Chinese nation.Faced with the practical needs of building a community of the Chinese nation at the new development stage,we must step up efforts to establish the theoretical discourse system of community for modern Chinese civilization,lay emphasis on the construction of systems for symbol and image,discourse and narrative,as well as overseas communications,and on the exploration of development patterns for theories,so as to present theories and methods of modern civilization for promoting the building of community for the Chinese nation.

On Forging a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation and the Continuous Development of the Cohesion of the Chinese Nation

Chinese national cohesion,through hard forging in the long course of history,has strong historical inertia.The theory of"Great Unification"a multi-ethnic state structure under this ideology,the"multi-colorfully integrated"Chinese culture,a constantly evolving and subliming sense of"Huaxia identity"and other historical genes make a far-reaching significance to producing and developing the cohesion of the Chinese nation.The Communist Party of China(CPC)fully appreciates the laws and prevailing trends of history,seizes the historical initiative,and combines them with new historical context,so unremittingly promotes the continuous development of the cohesion of the Chinese nation.On the new journey into the new era,General Secretary Xi Jinping,centering on the epochal theme of"the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation",put forward the original assertion of"forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation",pointing out that"forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation"as the main theme to continuously promote the construction of the Chinese national community,which has had a tremendous and far-reaching impact on the continued development of the cohesion of the Chinese nation.Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and continuously developing the cohesion of the Chinese nation reflect the historical consciousness and the spirit of the historical initiative of the CPC in the new era to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country,to unite the majestic power of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,and to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation comprehensively.

A Semiotic Path to Forging a Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation

Since the 18th National Congress,forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation has become the guiding principle of Minzu Work;and it serves the overall goal of building a modern socialist country with Chinese characteristics and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.In order to forge a sense of community for the Chinese nation,having top design and material basis is not enough,dynamic motivation and actual practice are also necessary to connect the two together closely.Semiotic activities,which integrate sensory perceptibility,indexicality and symbolic meaning may act as the binding agent and coagulant that stick together the"material form"and the""spirit"of the top design,so as to develop naturalized habituation and match our actions to our words.Culture is embodied not only in the sophisticated and exceedingly esteemed theories and arts,but also in the rich spectrum of daily life of the general public;it involves the semiosis of triads:sensory perceptibility,indexicality,and symbolic values.Here the formation of habits is also involved.Though forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation happens on a cultural-ethical level,it has to be tangibly supported with the motivated will and physical sensations.

Four Pillars Underpinning a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation

Throughout history,there have been close political,economic,and cultural connections between the border areas and the interior of China.To strengthen the unity of the Chinese nation and forge a strong sense of national identity,it is important to draw inspiration from our history.Politically,we must reinforce the memory of national unity and promote the belief that the Chinese nation is a big family and China's territory is indivisible.Economically,it is crucial to continue the historical economic ties between the border areas and the interior,and to deepen economic interdependence in the present era.This will strengthen economic connections between different regions and groups within China and promote unity.Socially,it is essential to facilitate the population flow between dfferent regions,particularly between the border areas and the interior,to promote ethnic communication and integration.Encouraging ethnic groups to live among each other and supporting two-way population flow can further enhance social cohesion.Culturally,we must maintain our tradition of cultural sharing and spread traditional Chinese culture and modern socialist values among all ethnic groups.This will strengthen the bond of the Chinese nation as one community.These four pillars-political,economic,social,and cultural-form the foundation of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.

A Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation Embodied in the Musical Dance Art of Early Dunhuang Grottoes

The musical dance art recorded in early Dunhuang Grottoes,though supposed to be created by ancient northern ethnic groups such as the Hun and Xianbei,gives expression to a strong thought of"Chinafication"and a sense of community for the Chinese nation.By analyzing the essence and content of the musical dance art in the Dunhuang Grottoes created during the Northern Liang(A.D.397-460),Northern Wei(A.D.386-534),Western Wei(A.D.535-556)and Northern Zhou(A.D.557-581)Dynasties,and by exploring the contribution of ancient ethnic groups such as the Hun and Xianbei in the formation and development of Chinese nation,this study reveals that the musical dance art in early Dunhuang Grottoes faithfully reflects the community pattern of the Chinese nation featured by"unity in diversity"developed since ancient times,and hopes that the future research and creation may expand their horizon by incorporating the musical dance art of early Dunhuang Grottoes into the system of contemporary Dunhuang dance.

Fostering a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation and the Chinafication of Tibetan Buddhism

The objective of fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to establish the Chinese national identity,which is the symbol of a modern nation-state,for all Minzu in China;and the precondition of it is to define"China"and"Chinese people"with preciseness.For that sake,we must abolish both Han chauvinism and narrow-minded local ethnic chauvinism,and reaffirm the staunch belief that all 56 Minzu are inseparable parts of the Chinese nation and that all people of these 56 Minzu are Chinese people.To adapt Tibetan Buddhism to the Chinese context is not to sinicize Tibetan Buddhism,but to adapt it to the requirement for the development and progress of the Chinese nation in a new era,as well as to make it a fantastic catalyst for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.For the sake of it,we will not only make Tibetan Buddhism a crucial part of Chinese Buddhism,but also include Han and Tibetan Buddhism as the most important identity of Chinese Buddhism,so as to integrate Tibetan Buddhism,Han Buddhism,and Theravada Buddhism inside China and strengthen a sense of community for Chinese nation in China's Buddhist community,which will serve as an important part of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.

文明韧性、国家韧性与中华民族共同体建设

在我国政治学语境下,韧性理论围绕治理现代化意义上长治久安、和谐共生的政治系统愿景而建构,治理韧性的本质属性与目标则可以理解为政治治理体系效能较强,以及国家与社会各领域的自主性发展与运行形成较强的生命力、抗逆力、复原力与可持续发展性。中国以文明型国家的国家传统,形成以国家、社会、民族相互塑造而延续千年不辍的韧性,韧性的理念深度蕴含在中华文明品质与国家建设中。中华文明的五大特性对中华文明所蕴含的文明韧性作出了最好的阐释,而“两个结合”为我国的政治现代化如何汲取文明韧性,以中华民族现代文明引领中国式现代化的持续发展指明了基本原则与实践方向。中华文明韧性与中国国家韧性的叠加,形成中华民族共同体的韧性。以文明韧性为基底、以国家韧性为依托、以共同体韧性为目标,在中国式现代化进程中进一步探索更丰富和更具韧性的治理路径,是推进国家治理体系与治理能力现代化的题中应有之义。在中国式现代化进程中展开的国家治理,不断汲取中华文明的韧性因素,持续建设韧性国家,从而能够塑造对抗现代性风险的韧性政治,其经验可为人类现代化建设提供中国智慧。

The Discussion of Connotation and Denotation of the Consciousness of the Chinese National Community

In order to promote research of the Consciousness of the Chinese National Community(CCNC),it is essential to unravel the historical logic and practical foundation of the concept of Chinese National Community(CNC).This necessitates a thorough analysis and contemplation of its connotation and denotation.The CCNC gradually emerged during the continuous development of the CNC.It connotes that all members of the CNC can consciously recognize the objective existence of the CNC and they cognitively,psychologically,and behaviorally have a sense of identity with and belonging to the CNC.From the perspective of the denotation of CCNC,its structural basis lies within the plurality and unity in the configuration of the Chinese Nation.The consciousness of national identity serves as its political expression,the Chinese cultural identity as its spiritual foundation and the consciousness of a community with shared future as its inherent attribute.

Great Flood Myths and Cultural Community of the Chinese Nation

The community of the Chinese nation is a unified whole that consists of all ethnic groups in China;it is a cultural community that's formed alongside the long-term exchanges and interactions among all ethnic groups in China.When disastrous events occur,the cultural community of the Chinese nation will gradually take its shape and reveal its unique characteristics as it fights against disasters.Ancient myths are the carrier of a nation's national history and memory,cultural value,and spiritual character.Specifically,the Great Flood myths,which signify utter destruction and rebirth,demonstrate the ideological basis and spiritual origin of a cultural community.There are a large number of Great Flood myths around the world that have longstanding influence.However,Great Flood myths in China are distinctively different from foreign Great Flood myths:foreign flood myths mostly emphasize the authority of heavenly divinity,and humans can do nothing about the flood but evade and struggle to survive.In comparison,flood-taming heroes in Chinese myths always take positive perspectives and proactive actions to courageously fight against and tame the flood,which demonstrates the national spirit of solidarity and perseverance of Chinese people.Great Flood myths of different ethnic groups in China reflect the history of exchanges and interactions of the Chinese nation and show that all Chinese people are of the same origin.From the perspective of both national history and spiritual value,Great Flood myths in China vividly demonstrate that the Chinese nation is an objectively existing,widely acknowledged by Chinese people,and indestructible community bound together by a common culture.

梯次推进:论学校铸牢中华民族共同体意识教育的一体化建设

教育作为继往开来、培基铸魂的基础工程,为中华民族共同体建设发挥着夯实基础、筑牢根基的重要作用。学校构建以铸牢中华民族共同体意识为主线的一体化教育体系格局,既要理论与实践相结合,更要遵循青少年心理发展和成长规律,形成不同学段纵向螺旋上升、不同学科横向融合贯通和不同部门协同发力的“一体化”教育网络。以“铸牢中华民族共同体意识”为导向的一体化育人体系,使教学、育人、管理体系有序衔接。要遵循学生心理发展并注重学生认知能力的梯次性,使教育内容循序渐进推进;以不同区域“试点引领、示范带动、以点带面”的形式,解决教育发展的不均衡问题;深入推进各学科融通、各学段贯穿的课程体系,实现教材和课程的一体化设计;通过梯次发挥全员、全过程、全方位育人的作用,深化“大思政”育人格局和“三全育人”综合改革工作。基于“四个维度”的梯次推进,助推学校铸牢中华民族共同体意识教育的内涵式发展。学校铸牢中华民族共同体意识就要一步一级逐渐提升,按照梯次推进的理念不断积累以达千里之远。

中华民族共同体学学科的时代价值与建设路径

加强中华民族共同体学学科建设,是铸牢中华民族共同体意识从单项突破迈向系统推进,完善宣传教育常态化机制,构建课堂教学、社会实践、主题教育等多位一体教育平台的必要举措。从政治、经济、文化和社会等维度来看,中华民族共同体学学科建设有助于民族事务治理现代化、推动各民族共同繁荣、加强中华民族共有精神家园建设、促进民族团结进步创建,具有防范化解民族领域风险隐患,维护国家统一、民族团结稳定大局,维护民族领域意识形态安全等时代价值。针对现阶段中华民族共同体学学科建设相对滞后,与推进新时代党的民族工作高质量发展的要求还有较大差距的情况,需要加强学术体系、人才培养体系、社会服务体系等方面的建设,使之与推进新时代党的民族工作高质量发展、实现中华民族伟大复兴的历史任务相适应。

主线驱动:党建引领边疆民族地区治理的路径选择

铸牢中华民族共同体意识是边疆民族地区各项工作的主线,也是党建引领边疆民族地区治理的主线。作为边疆民族地区党的建设的主要价值导向,铸牢中华民族共同体意识对边疆民族地区党建引领具有主线驱动功能。其突出表征为:铸牢中华民族共同体意识能够为边疆民族地区党建引领营造发展环境、充实思想基础、巩固组织稳定、强化政治根基。这四类功能是党建引领边疆民族地区治理的前提条件。围绕铸牢中华民族共同体意识主线,以党的建设成效引领边疆民族地区治理主要包括四条实现路径,即在休戚与共中以党建引领边疆民族地区民生发展,在荣辱与共中以党建引领边疆民族地区文化繁荣,在生死与共中以党建引领边疆民族地区社会治理,在命运与共中以党建引领边疆民族地区安全稳定。必须围绕铸牢中华民族共同体意识主线,以党建引领推动边疆民族地区治理走向现代化。

唤醒中华民族共同体意识的历史记忆与认同实践

彝族他留人主要分布在云南省丽江市永胜县和华坪县,是历史文献中“白蛮”的后裔。在族源传说故事中,他留人认为他们与周边的藏族、纳西族、白族、汉族和彝族诺苏人是从兄弟姊妹一家人中分衍而来。宗支节是他留人祭祖的节日,早期仅用于各姓祭祀各自的先祖,外人不得参与。从二十世纪五十年代起,他留人开始利用宗支节祭祀“三百六十户伍”汉人祖先,这一唤醒对“汉人祖先”的记忆过程体现了早期迁徙到云南的汉族人和彝族他留人长期交往交流交融的历史心性与历史事实。他留人从“多族共祖”到“彝汉共祖”的历史记忆与认同实践,是一种对自身起源问题的“再创造”。这使族群的边界得以从历史记忆的维度被消解,而代之以中华民族共同体层面的血脉联结和家园共享,体现出他留人对中华民族和中华文化的认同,呈现了中华民族共同体的形成过程。这个过程是唤醒他留人中华民族共同体意识的过程。彝族他留人的个案,为铸牢中华民族共同体意识的研究、教学和宣传提供了宝贵素材和民族志案例。

国家建构视域下中华民族共同体认同的形塑机制--基于世界价值观调查的实证探索

中华民族共同体认同的形塑,既与宏观层面国家建构中的国家—社会和中央—地方双结构休戚相关,又受微观层面地方认同、政府信任和宣传动员等要素的影响。通过对世界价值观调查(WVS)最新数据的分析,实证探索地方认同、政府信任、新闻媒介信任对中华民族共同体认同的形塑机制,研究发现:一是地方认同与中华民族共同体认同呈正向显著关系;二是政府信任在地方认同对中华民族共同体认同作用过程中,存在显著的中介作用机制;三是新闻媒介信任不仅能够调节地方认同对政府信任的影响,也调节着政府信任对中华民族共同体认同的作用机制。在国家建构视域下,为提升中华民族共同体认同,应注重“第二个结合”增强地方认同、以党建引领提升政府信任、以全过程人民民主机制赋能新闻媒介信任提升的“有形、有感、有效”的中国式路径。
