How does the Chinese nation’s historical perspective take root in frontier regions? A study on the mechanism of community identity formation in Yunnan border areas
中华民族史观何以深入边疆——云南边境地区共同体认同生成机制研究

摘要

中华民族史观的建构，为中华民族共同体意识的形成提供了不可或缺的历史根基与认知基础。既有研究多集中于中华民族史观理论内涵的阐发及其宣传教育路径的探讨，但针对该观念如何嵌入边疆社会并转化为个体共同体认同的问题，相关经验研究及作用机制的分析仍有待深化。基于对云南腾冲、瑞丽、镇康、河口等边境地区开展的田野调查，本文研究表明，中华民族史观的传播绝非单一的历史知识输送过程，而实质上构成了共同历史记忆的创造与共同体认同建构的实践历程。在边疆社会的特定场域中，该观念的传播主要通过国家叙事、文化浸润、实践参与和数字传播四重机制协同推进，并呈现出"历史认知—国家认同—中华民族认同—共同体认同—行动认同"的逐级递进演化轨迹。综上，本文提出“HNICA边疆共同体认同生成模型”，系统阐释中华民族史观向中华民族共同体意识转化的内在机理。研究指出，边疆共同体建设不能单纯倚重制度层面的整合，历史认同维度的深层契合同样关键；而中华民族史观的传播与落地，已成为新时代推进边疆治理现代化、深化中华民族共同体建设的重要实现路径。

Abstract

The construction of the Chinese nation's historical perspective provides an indispensable historical foundation and cognitive basis for fostering the consciousness of the Chinese nation community. Existing studies have primarily focused on its theoretical connotations and educational dissemination, while insufficient attention has been paid to how this historical perspective is embedded in frontier society and transformed into community identity. Based on fieldwork conducted in the border areas of Tengchong, Ruili, Zhenkang, and Hekou in Yunnan Province, this study investigates the dissemination process and identity-building mechanism of the Chinese nation's historical perspective. The findings reveal that its dissemination is not merely the transmission of historical knowledge but a dynamic process of constructing shared historical memory and cultivating community identity. Within the specific social contexts of frontier regions, this process is jointly promoted through four interrelated mechanisms: state narrative, cultural immersion, practical participation, and digital communication. These mechanisms facilitate a progressive transformation from historical cognition to national identity, identification with the Chinese nation, community identity, and ultimately action identity. On this basis, the study proposes the HNICA Model of Frontier Community Identity Formation, which explains the internal mechanism through which the Chinese nation's historical perspective is transformed into the consciousness of the Chinese nation community. The study argues that the construction of community in frontier regions depends not only on institutional integration but also on the consolidation of historical identity. Therefore, the dissemination and internalization of the Chinese nation's historical perspective have become an essential pathway for advancing modernization of frontier governance and strengthening the consciousness of the Chinese nation community in the new era.
