The Dynastic and the National Identity from the Evolution of the Narrative of"Yongli's Exiling into Myanmar"
From the end of the 15th year of Shunzhi or the 12th year of Yongli to the beginning of the next year,under the pressure of the Qing army,Zhu Youlang,Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty,fled from Yunnan to Myanmar.Four years later,Zhu Youlang was captured in Myanmar and executed in Kunming by the Qing Dynasty.After that,the loyalists of the former Ming Dynasty,especially the Emperor Yongli's attendants,started the construction of the narrative of Yongli's Hunting in Myanmar.Through the por-trayal of the emperor's goodness,the loyalists highlighted Zhu Youlang's orthodoxy.The Qing Dynasty,however,refused his ortho-doxy officially,and regarded him as an ordinary vassal of the former Ming Dynasty.Thereafter,this narrative changed from the former Ming's loyalists"Hunting in Myanmar"to the Qing Dynasty's"Exiling into Myanmar".With the stabilization of the Qing Dynasty,the Dynastic Writing in the narrative of Yongli's Exiling into Myanmar fell out of the spotlight,meanwhile the people of Yunnan clearly expressed its Chinese national identity by participating in the exiling narrative.With the rise of the revolutionary movement in the late Qing Dynasty,this narrative received the attention and reconstruction by the Yunnan revolutionary party,and then became a tool for the political mobilization of revolutionary and the declaration of national identity.In a word,the narrative evolution from"Hunting in Myan-mar"to"Exiling into Myanmar"then to"Hunting in Myanmar"from the early Qing Dynasty to the early Republican era,reflected the opposition of different standpoints,the aspirations and demands of different forces and groups,and the themes of different times.
