The textbook introduces the historical process of the formation of the Chinese national community according to different historical periods. These chapters introduce the historical evolution process of the community in detail according to the historical periodization, and enrich a large number of fresh historical materials and rich information under the general framework, which shows how the pluralistic and integrated pattern of "you have me, I have you" and "great unification" of today's Chinese national community has been gradually formed and consolidated in the course of thousands of years of history, which is very convincing.
The "Introduction" comprehensively expounds and analyzes the basic theory of the Chinese national community, the historical outlook of the Chinese nation, the origin, formation and development of the Chinese nation, the historical facts of the exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups in various periods in ancient times, and the development process of the Chinese nation from freedom to consciousness in modern times, which is of high theoretical and practical significance.

The textbook takes the sense of community of the Chinese nation as the main line, with the goal of strengthening the sense of community of the Chinese nation among students, and comprehensively explains the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the important ideas of the general secretary on strengthening and improving ethnic work.
He Xingliang summarized the characteristics of the "Introduction": the textbook attaches great importance to systematically explaining the idea of "forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation" and the spirit of instructions on strengthening the construction of the community of the Chinese nation from the perspective of learning rationality and logic. In-depth study and interpretation of the historical context of the origin, formation and development of the Chinese nation, and a comprehensive presentation of the dynamic process of the evolution of the space, connotation and composition of the survival and development of the Chinese nation. It is a teaching material that correctly grasps and scientifically deals with commonalities and differences. A large number of historical and contemporary materials are used to prove that the history of the Chinese nation is a history of the integration of various ethnic groups.
The textbook uses a large number of historical materials to show that all ethnic groups in China identify with "China", emphasize the concept of "great unification", and emphasize the same origin of Huayi, and these historical facts fully show that all ethnic groups have a strong sense of national identity, which is of great practical significance for enhancing the national identity of the people of all ethnic groups in the contemporary country.
The achievements in the history of exchanges, exchanges and integration of the Chinese nation.
Forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation is the historical responsibility of our times, and it is also the ideological guarantee for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the long-term prosperity of Chinese civilization. Yang Lihua, a professor at Peking University, fully affirmed the "Introduction" and proposed that the construction of the discipline of the Chinese national community should be promoted as soon as possible.
University teachers in with students**. (*Visual China).
Four years ago, in many schools, there was a discussion about forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, and everyone has been looking forward to the emergence of such a teaching material with guiding significance. Shen Weirong, a professor at Chinese Minmin University, said: "Today I finally have the "Introduction", and I think the significance of this textbook is very far-reaching, and it is also a summary and improvement of the theory and practice of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation that we have pursued so far." It is of great significance for us to continue to understand how to continue to understand in the future, deepen our understanding of the sense of community of the Chinese nation from the perspective of history and practice, and enhance and forge the sense of community of the Chinese nation throughout the country. ”
Shen Weirong was very touched by the fact that in the textbooks, the ideas and opinions of scholars were respected and reflected. As a guide in practical work, the "Introduction" is not only a textbook in universities, but also an achievement in the history of exchanges and integration of the Chinese nation.
Historical theory, the combination of historical theory, integration of history, and the creation of a new narrative mode.
The publication of the Introduction is a great joy for the academic and educational communities. Yang Gongle, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and relevant publishing units bravely shouldered heavy burdens, united many experts and scholars across the country, jointly tackled key problems, overcame countless difficulties, and achieved significant results, and their spirit and efficiency were admirable.
"Introduction" is a new achievement under the guidance of the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era. What runs through is the spirit of the new era, and what is manifested is spiritual independence. The textbook clarifies the spiritual characteristics of Chinese civilization, answers the important theoretical and moral questions of the Chinese nations, such as "hugging each other like pomegranate seeds" and "how pomegranate seeds are formed".
At the same time, the "Introduction" has a clearer expression of some major core concepts, such as the textbook points out: "The Chinese nation is a community of people formed by various groups of people in the land of China who have been immersed in Chinese civilization for thousands of years, experienced long-term exchanges and blending, and formed in the historical process of jointly creating a unified multi-ethnic country, and have the identity of the Chinese national community; Today, it mainly includes compatriots of all ethnic groups in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese who have the identity of the Chinese national community.
Concepts are the soul of textbooks. The definition of concepts, especially the definition of core concepts, is of great significance to the compilation of textbooks. The "Introduction" has made many successful explorations in this regard, which is extremely valuable, and is a masterpiece of pioneering significance.
Flower beds of national unity.
The "Introduction" organized and compiled by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission argues that the Chinese nation is a community of people with the common identity of the Chinese nation formed by the exchanges and exchanges of various groups of people in the land of China from ancient to present in the process of jointly building a unified multi-ethnic country, systematically and comprehensively completing the academic construction of the entity of the Chinese nation, and is of milestone significance for continuously promoting the construction of the community of the Chinese nation. Shen Guiping, a professor at Zhejiang University, said that the "Introduction to the Community of the Chinese Nation" has built a theoretical system for the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation.
Patriotism is rooted in the history of extraordinary struggles we have all experienced. The "Introduction to the Community of the Chinese Nation" on the common historical and cultural narrative of all ethnic groups "jointly opening up the splendid rivers and mountains of the motherland, jointly writing the long history of the motherland, jointly creating a splendid Chinese culture, and jointly cultivating the great spirit of the Chinese nation" is a spiritual resource that evokes the common historical and cultural memory of the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in China and inspires the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups to work together in unity.
In the historical narrative part of the Chinese nation, the "Introduction" emphasizes the joint creation of a unified multi-ethnic state by various groups of people, so as to confirm the ontological cognition and conceptual identity of the Chinese nation of "shared historical and cultural memory". In the modern narrative of the Chinese nation, the emphasis is on describing the sense of belonging of the Chinese nation formed in the century-long struggle of all ethnic groups to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. The sense of pride of the Chinese nation formed in the process of the Chinese nation standing up, getting rich and becoming strong by all ethnic groups, as well as the sense of self-confidence of the Chinese nation led by the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" and the sense of mission of constantly building the community of the Chinese nation under the guidance of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, provide a theoretical basis and action goals for all ethnic groups to unite and work together.
