Research on the Concept of Chinese Civilization and the Construction of Chinese National Identity
Civilization,as the accumulation of material and spiritual wealth,serves as a crucial benchmark for measuring the progress of human society.The concept of civilization represents the value scale and cognitive framework held by individuals or civilizations when examining other civilizations.Over thousands of years,Chinese civilization has gradually evolved a concept centered on people-orientedness,grand unification,and harmony in coexistence.In contemporary times,its core essence has further transformed into the new-era concept of Chinese civilization featuring equality,mutual recognition,dialogue,and inclusiveness.This concept advocates the construction of a harmonious and symbiotic community civilization based on respect for diversity,adhering to the principles of equality,mutual recognition,dialogue,and inclusiveness.The new-era concept of Chinese civilization consolidates and strengthens Chinese national identity,facilitates the promotion and use of the national common language,deepens cultural exchanges among different ethnic groups and regions,and constructs a shared cultural psychological space for the Chinese nation,thereby becoming a solid foundation for the formation and enhancement of Chinese national cohesion and identity.Not only does this concept facilitate the joint creation and sharing of Chinese cultural symbols among ethnic groups,reinforcing the construction of the shared spiritual home of the Chinese nation,but it also gradually forms and strengthens the cultural identity,value system,and community consciousness of the Chinese nation through enhanced interactions,exchanges,and integration among different ethnic groups,serving as the spiritual impetus and cultural support for forging a strong sense of Chinese national community and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
