Description:

This book focuses on the northwest frontier of China and explores the basic theories and paths of contemporary national identity and construction. First of all, starting from the origin of the state, this paper discusses the basis and historical context of the construction of national identity. Secondly, in the comparison of the construction of national identity between China and the West and between contemporary and ancient China, it is emphasized that the national identity of contemporary China must be based on Chinese tradition (which is the requirement of nationalism and empirical political legitimacy), and at the same time draw the experience and wisdom of all mankind (which is based on the belief that "human beings are basically the same"). Finally, focusing on the construction of socialist culture and citizenship, this paper discusses how to comprehensively strengthen the party's ability to govern ethnic affairs.
