摘要
近代以来,中华民族在应对外敌入侵、生死存亡的关键时刻,以《新夷族》为代表的近代报刊的创立,为构建中华民族认同,唤起西南少数民族同胞的国家意识起到了积极作用。《新夷族》是近代首份、也是唯一以民国时期少数民族族称命名的刊物,该刊物由西南民族知识分子自主创办,虽然仅刊行两期,但其篇章内容却紧紧围绕“中华民族观念”“中华民族自身之意识”“统一的中华民族国家”等主题展开。这揭示出西南民族知识分子如何理解中华民族的概念内涵,西南各民族与中华民族整体之间的内在关系,以及怎样发掘和运用自身特有的地方性知识,以议论文、诗歌、散文等不同文体形式阐述、宣传“中华民族”等新兴观念,以此构建一个“新”的具有现代民族国家意识的群体。系统研究《新夷族》将有助于学界深入探讨民国时期西南少数民族知识分子的中华民族意识自觉过程,及其在西南各民族中传播中华民族知识的历史作用。
During a pivotal epoch in modern history,amidst an existential threat facing the Chinese nation from foreign invasion,the establishment of modern newspapers and periodicals represented by Xinyizu(or New Ethnic Minorities)seems to have played a positive role in shaping the collective identity of the Chinese nation and arousing a national consciousness among ethnic minority compatriots.The intellectuals of ethnic minorities in the southwest were the first beneficiaries of modern education and thus became the intellectual elite of the ethnic groups who came into contact with nascent concepts and thoughts such as the Chinese nation relatively earlier.In addition,using the social influence of modern print media,this trailblazing elite promoted the awakening of the Chinese nation consciousness among their ethnic minority counterparts in southwest China,endeavoring to foster unity among all ethnic groups within China,propelling joint efforts to seek rejuvenation and development and strive for the liberation of the Chinese nation.The understanding of these pioneers of the southwestern ethnic minorities regarding the Chinese nation,the relationship between the southwestern ethnic peoples and the Chinese nation,and the role of the southwestern ethnic minorities in the process of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation have all been preserved in the form of texts in the journal of Xinyizu.As the first journal locally founded by ethnic minorities in modern times,a systematic study of Xinyizu may be helpful in understanding the evolving consciousness of the Chinese national identity among ethnic intellectuals in southwestern China during the Republic of China era,showing their efforts to spread knowledge of the Chinese nation among ethnic minorities in the southwest of China.The Xinyizu journal is the first publication independently founded by southern ethnic minority intellectuals,thereby standing as a testament to its significance.Records also indicate that the purpose of its founding was to“1)awaken national consciousness;2)discuss national issues;3)spread national culture;4)communicate national feelings;5)publicize the Three People s Principles;6)inculcate political education;7)study social economy;8)guide the life trajectories of the Yi people;9)promote public intellectualism of the Yi people;and 10)elevate the morals of the Yi people.”It is worth noting that the concepts of“Minzu”,“Yi Ren”,and“Yi Min”as employed within the publication,the“Minzu”are understood to correspond to the Chinese nation,while“Yi Ren”and“Yi Min”would encompass the Yi ethnic people and other southwestern ethnic minorities.This method appears to have been influenced by the prevailing political and academic circles dating back to the late Qing Dynasty which seemed to distinguish between“big nationalism”,that is,the Chinese nation,and“small nationalism”,that is,the various ethnic groups within the Chinese Nation.Therefore,despite the diverse composition of its authorship,the Journal of Xinyizu,the content of its writing remained closely focused on the above issues.Each issue contains a trilingual translation of Sun Yat-sen s will in the Chinese,Yi,and Miao languages.Moreover,the types of articles cover a wide range of issues such as national history,regional culture,folk literature and art,border crises,local realities,and the significance of southwestern ethnic minorities to national development.In fact,it can be argued that the journal's editorial vision reflects a resolute determination to transform the perceived socio-economic marginalization of southwestern ethnic minorities,arouse the Chinese national consciousness among its readership,and improve the strength of the Chinese nation,and consolidate the foundation of the motherland.
