"Nationality",a Word not in Ancient Chinese Books——the Misconnection of Eastern and Western Discourse Systems
"Nationality",first introduced to China in modern times,is not a native word in ancient Chinese books,and its misconnection with Chinese discourse system had since a great influ-ence.In recent years,some scholars have traced its origin back to the mis-scription of"clan"as"nationality"in ancient books,believing that it's a concept of localization.It only adds to the con-fusion in our understanding.Recognizing the similarities and differences between the two different dis-course systems of the east and west is not only necessary for forging a firm sense of the Chinese national community,but also urgently needed for objectively interpreting the formation and development of Chi-na,a multi-ethnic country,the Chinese national community and the Chinese civilization.
