Chinese National History and Chinese Common Culture
by Ma Rong
About This Novel
After thousands of years of population migration and inter-ethnic marriage, the various ethnic groups in China have become "I am in you and you are in me". The blood and cultural integration between each other are inseparable and should not be separated. When studying and analyzing ethnic issues in China today, we cannot cut off the long history of interaction and integration of various ethnic groups in China for thousands of years, nor can we ignore the concept of "ethnicity" that has been inherited from thousands of years of Chinese cultural tradition. There is a difference between China's traditional "ethnic view" and the "nation-state", "nation" and "ethnic" concepts that emerged in European civilization. This is the main reason why Europe has established many side-by-side small countries while China has been a unified multi-ethnic country for thousands of years. We must insist on using the basic idea of "the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation" to understand the history, current situation and future development of China's ethnic relations, and cannot return to the narrow Han nationalist idea of "driving out the Tartars and restoring China" in the late Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can we closely unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country to build a harmonious society and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new century on the basis of mutual recognition and common prosperity of all ethnic groups.
