Conception of History as the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
History is not mere knowledge,but a conception.The essence of historical writing is a process of constant redistribution of knowledge concepts,and no historical writing can be divorced from a certain historical philosophy and value.The continuous interaction between different groups of people,different regimes,as well as different social systems that has taken place in the tianxia system of Chinese civilization had shaped the innate sense of community for the Chinese nation.Since modern times,faced with the challenge of modernity,the Chinese civilization has achieved the self-renewal,inheriting tradition and integrating with modernity,and the Chinese nation has moved from unawareness to self-awareness,and from the self-awareness to the new sense of community for the Chinese nation.Therefore,the conception of history is a kind of knowledge composition of the sense of community for the Chinese nation.
