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.

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.

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.

习近平文化思想视域下坚守中国哲学社会科学之“魂脉”——关于哲学社会科学与中国特色意识形态问题探讨

“加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学”重大论断提出以来,在理论研究和实践探索方面都取得了众多成就,但也存在研究持续性和稳定性不足、问题导向不够明确、“中国特色”全面形成进程缓慢等问题。习近平文化思想为加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学提供了科学理论指南和根本行动遵循。马克思主义“魂脉”与中华优秀传统文化“根脉”,分别形成了加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学的意识形态和文明形态。中国特色哲学社会科学的“魂脉”就是对具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态的牢牢把握与坚守。中国共产党一贯重视哲学社会科学和意识形态工作。改革开放以来,意识形态领域长期面临风险挑战。党的十八大以来,意识形态形势发生全局性、根本性转变。加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学,要准确把握意识形态工作形势与工作定位,在坚持哲学社会科学“中国特色”的基础上,理直气壮、旗帜鲜明地批判“非意识形态化”“意识形态终结论”等错误思潮,以社会主义意识形态引领哲学社会科学、以哲学社会科学巩固社会主义意识形态。习近平文化思想为建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态和加快建构中国特色哲学社会科学提出了具体的谋划和部署,包括健全党的创新理论工作体系、全面落实意识形态工作责任制、推动理想信念教育常态化制度化、广泛践行社会主义核心价值观、加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学、打造全媒体主流传播格局、健全网络综合治理体系七个方面,要从广义意识形态层面加快构建中国特色哲学社会科学,坚守好中国特色哲学社会科学的马克思主义“魂脉”,提升与我国综合国力和国际地位相匹配的中国特色哲学社会科学话语权。

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.
