Tangibility,Sensibility,and Efficacy:Museums'Approaches to Forging a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
Museums,as quintessential public cultural spaces,possess characteristics of spatiali-zation,scenario,and visibility.Consequently,this study has found that museums can transform the sense of community for the Chinese nation from a mere abstract notion into tangible experiences ac-cessible to the public.At the same time,their openness and frequent accessibility can enable mu-seums to provide a robust platform for public out-reach and education.This could be very significant for the work of fostering a strong sense of communi-ty for the Chinese nation,which not only seeks to address the whole society but also touch individual consciousness.As an important part of the public cultural service system,and a key institution em-bodying a sense of knowledge authority and main-stream will,this article also posits that museums should strongly align with Chinese national plans and people's livelihoods,serving the national de-velopment strategy.What is more,they should ac-tively participate in establishing normalized mecha-nisms for the publicity and education of the Chi-nese nation's community consciousness,carving out their unique expressions in the new era.To display and establish a correct historical perspective of the Chinese nation,this paper has come to the conclusion that museums should ac-tively explore how to present and narrate the under-lying elements of territorial community,historical integration,cultural co-construction,and founda-tional interconnectedness through museum dis-course.This endeavor could then serve as a"tan-gible"presentation of historical continuity,nation-al unity,and cultural inclusiveness found in Chi-nese civilization.Museums can excel at translating"intangible"things into"tangible"objects through physical artifacts,image-text displays,videos,au-dios,and auxiliary props.In museums,"tangibili-ty"may serve as both a strategy and action aimed at transforming abstract concepts,mindsets,or en-tities distant in time and space from people's every-day lives into concrete,tangible objects that can be watched,studied,felt,and experienced in the present.To foster the community consciousness of the Chinese nation within society,it is regarded as necessary to transform this communal consciousness in a tangible form,thereby enabling the public to recognize,feel,and remember it intuitively.Generally speaking,results indicate Chinese museums possess the unique advantage of conver-ting free and abstract expressions of the Chinese national community into a specific narrative that can be seen and perceived by the public through the professional and authoritative language of the museum space.In other words,through a museum's immersive,progressive,relaxed,and free cognitive approach,coupled with interactive experiences,sensory engagement,and exhibition-themed activities,members of all ethnic peoples can transition from mere observation to association,memory connection,touching the scene and reso-nating subtly,thus forming a path of consciousness construction and reinforcement,evolving from tan-gibility to sensory understanding and ultimately to effective action.In accordance with the Chinese governmental ethnic work guidelines of the new era,museums should therefore further strengthen their tangible and meaningful space construction and concrete narrative capabilities,effectively con-structing a shared spiritual homeland of the Chi-nese nation through museum language and telling the story of the Chinese nation community.In this way,museums may truly become a potent force in fostering the strong sense of the Chinese nation community.
