by Li Biyan
About This Novel
This book combines traditional elite intellectual history with relevant methods of "new cultural history" to provide a systematic and in-depth overall investigation and interpretation of the gestation, formation, development and connotation of the modern Chinese national concept. It not only pays attention to the careful disclosure of historical context, the excavation and interpretation of typical texts, and the perspective analysis of important concepts, but also pays attention to the impact and significance of the national system, party policies, key figures and major events, and strives to present the many historical aspects of the socialization of this concept. The book emphasizes that the modern Chinese national concept has always been accompanied by the encounter of Chinese and Western thoughts and the intersection of ancient and modern concepts, showing the entanglement and interaction between the nation and the country; for the cognitive subject, it always contains the conflict and integration of emotion and reason, witnessing the contradiction and adjustment between ideal and reality. Its spread and recognition in modern China can be said to have profoundly reflected the political and cultural spirit of China and the destiny of the nation and country in that era. It is an extremely important phenomenon in the history of political thought and social and cultural history.
