摘要
中华民族是历史形成的,是中国历史发展的结果。文章以历史上中国的“扩大”与“绵延”为基本线索,对中华民族的凝聚与演进,尤其对华夏农耕民族与北方民族的交融汇聚机制、北方民族不断南下对民族融合的推动等问题进行了分析探讨。文章认为,民族融合是中国历史的主流,历史上各民族交融汇聚的基本趋势是朝彼此依存度越来越高、越来越密不可分的整体方向演进,这个整体正是今天我们所说的“中华民族”。民族融合是中华民族形成凝聚的根本,也是中华文明得以绵延不绝、始终保持生机与活力的关键所在。中国历史上的民族融合之所以成为可能并持续不断,其精髓与核心在于包容。中华民族的凝聚与发展,正是历史上不同民族、不同文化相互包容和彼此接纳的结果。
The Chinese nation is made by history;and it is the result of the development of Chinese history. Following the logic of the “expansion ” and “continuity ” in Chinese history,this article explores the cohesion and evolution of the Chinese nation,specifically the issues regarding the mechanism of integration and fusion between agricultural Huaxia and nomadic Northern ethnic groups,and the promotional effect of Northern ethnic groups migrating southwards on national integration. It asserts that national integration is the mainstream of Chinese history,and that historically speaking,the fundamental trend of integration and fusion between various ethnic groups is to evolve into an entirety in which ethnic groups are getting increasingly interdependent and inseparable. This entirety is known as the “Chinese nation”today. Integration is the fundamental basis of the making of the Chinese nation and is also the key to the continuity,everlasting vitality and vigor of Chinese civilization. Inclusiveness is the essential and core element that made integration possible and continuous in Chinese history. The development and integration of the Chinese nation is the result of the inclusiveness and acceptance of different ethnic groups and cultures in Chinese history.
