Practical Path for Ethnic Villages to Consolidate a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation from the Perspective of Cultural Pedigree:A Case Study of the Manchu Village in Qinjiang,Fujian
Cultural pedigree is an important concept for understanding and addressing the fundamental issues re-lated to consolidating a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.The time-space pedigree,ethnic pedigree,and formal pedigree of culture correspond to the carriers,subjects,and mediums for this consolidation respectively,thereby establishing a framework for its construction.As an ethnic village in Southeast China,the Manchu Village in Qinjiang of Fujian Province has undergone a transformation from an isolated society to an ethnic-embedding society over nearly 300 years of development.It has formed a time-space pedigree of interaction between the Manchu and Han peoples,as well as an ethnic pedigree characterized by"Manchu-Han familial ties"and a cultural form pedigree that emphasizes seeking common ground while reserving differences.This has laid a solid social foundation for consol-idating a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.Based on the interactive and identity aspects of cultural pedigree,it is necessary to promote communication,exchange,and integration among ethnic groups.By examining multiple dimensions—such as the time pedigree,space pedigree,ethnic pedigree,and cultural form pedigree of the ethnic villages—we can construct the ethnic groups'identity to the community for the Chinese nation at various di-mensions.Consequently,a"pedigree-identity"path is established to consolidate a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation in the ethnic villages.
