A study on the historical construction of grand unification and the early condensation of the Chinese National Community
The"Unified"concept of history is the official historical philosophy of the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties,having the core essentials of national unification and"One World of All"based on the kingship supremacist.Considering the political position to maintain the dynasties'unification,the"Uni-fied"model of the historical development evolution,having the one continuous line vertically followed by the emperors and the common ancestor homology laterally among the Han people and ethnic minorities,was constructed by the main thinkers and historians of the Han Dynasties,as the historical basis to con-firm their cultural identity by the multi-ethnic national community used in the Han Dynasties.At the same time,the"Unified"historical memory,having the common homology,"One World of All"and"Four Sea Return to One",was constructed to integrate the Han people and ethnic minorities into a community of"cultural bloodline"that has been inherited and continuous from generation to generation,on and on,as an responding to the political situation of the unified multi-ethnic country of the Han Dynasties.Through such artificial construction,the Han Empire had the orthodoxy and authority that inherited from the Zhou Dynasty and from Yin Dynasty as the new king.Thus,the"Unified"concept of history laid a solid theo-retical foundation for the early inoculation of the Chinese National Community and became an important source of spiritual power for the coagulation of the Chinese Nation.
