The end of the 18 th century and the beginning of the 19 th century was the climax of the modern German self-consciousness.In 911 AD,the history of Germany officially kicked off.Due to congenital factors and acquired reasons,the traditional culture of Germany has a serious lack of identity.The complex ethnic genes and special geographical location make the German nation unable to escape the disintegration.Facing the complicated international situation and the rising tide of the modern nation-state,awakening the sleeping national self-consciousness and constructing the national community has become the most urgent historical mission of the German nation.The social environment of the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries rendered the background of the German national consciousness awakening.The rise of the Anglo-French nation and the 30-year war sounded the alarm for the fragmented and turbulent nation.As a result,intellectuals and scholars began a great cause of awakening national consciousness.The horn of enlightenment inspired intellectuals' understanding and research on human nature,rationality and human relations,and strived to clarify the transformation and evolution of human things through abstract,philosophical thinking and empirical materials from history and society,and opened the German nation.The rational course;for the criticism and resistance to the invasion of French culture,the "arrogant and violent" movement presents the cultural enlightenment thinking with German national characteristics in the most powerful way: diversity is the essence of the existence and development of human society.Diversity is not only based on human beings,but also the achievements of society and nation based on survival;the cultural movement triumphs all the way,and finally the flower of romanticism is opened on the land of the German nation.The Romantic Movement is a cultural movement belonging to Europe,but it has created a different characteristic in Germany: the symbiosis of romanticism and nationalism has been simplified into an essential principle-national culture and national spirit are symbols of a nation.With the kernel.From the early Jena romantics to the Berlin romantics and the Heidelberg romantics,the romantic activities of the romantics not only have the literary theory innovation,the excavation of the national traditional history,but also the deepening of the "Germanic" implicit truth and the national way out.Seek.The self-consciousness of the German nation reached a climax in the transition from “cultural nation” to “national culture” and achieved the cultural pattern of the unique German cultural and ethnic community.The German national history witnessed the power of national culture in awakening the awakening of national consciousness,and witnessed the interpretation and interpretation of the German virtue of "nation","nation","national spirit" and "art".In other words,the integration of "culture" and "ethnic identity" and "identity" is an important feature of the development of German history.It also writes the self-image of the German national liberation movement.Under the impetus of the rising national self-consciousness,the German culture Nationalism has transformed into political nationalism.
