The Use of Chinese Characters in Xunhua Ting in the Late Qing Dynasty from the Perspective of the Uniformity of Chinese Civilization
The unification of language and script is crucial for the consolidation of a nation.The use of the Chinese characters in Xunhua Ting in the Late Qing Dynasty expanded significantly,enhancing both their functional role and cultural symbolism.This reflects the Qing Dynasty's strong desire to reinforce the authority of the"Great Unity"feudal empire through cultural unification,strengthen local administration and ethnic governance,and promote interaction and integration between the northwestern frontier and the inland regions.From the transition of judicial documents in Xunhua Ting from being"bilingual in Han and Fan"to the increased functional status of the Chinese characters,and further to the appreciation of"the importance of Chinese characters"and the construction of the uniformity of Chinese civilization,there is an underlying convergence of national will,local interests,and ethnic aspirations.This evolution illustrates the development of national identity consciousness among ethnic groups such as the Mongols and Xizang people,demonstrating their"submission to the imperial culture".The use and popularization of the Chinese characters was not only a reflection of the practical needs of frontier governance but also a product of the era's developmental milestones.They represent both the external manifestation of the consciousness of the Chinese national community and a significant demonstration of the continuous nature of Chinese civilization.The case of Xunhua Ting in the late Qing Dynasty provides vivid and specific historical details for discussing this issue,illustrating the challenges and complexities of using Chinese characters in ethnic regions.It also clearly reveals the importance and historical trend of using a common language and script within the Chinese nation.
