Since the 1990 s,the national issues within the country have become the focus of academic circles in various countries.As a unified multi-ethnic country with multiple cultures,the study of national integration has also presented the trend of the stars.The report of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized "to deepen the education of national unity and progress,to create a sense of the Chinese nation's community,to strengthen exchanges and exchanges among all ethnic groups,to promote the close cooperation of all ethnic groups like pomegranate seeds,to unite and struggle together,and to common prosperity and development.Under the background of building a socialist harmonious society in China,the government actively implements ethnic policies and safeguards national rights and interests,but on the other hand,ethnic minorities The sense of identity with the "Chinese nation" may be ignored objectively.China's ethnic minorities account for about 8.49% of the country's total population,and most of them are distributed in land border areas bordering 14 countries.Among them,there are even more than 30 ethnic minorities living across borders.The unity and stability of frontier ethnic areas is particularly important.The relationship between national integration and national identity has become a core issue.The interweaving of political,economic,cultural,historical and other factors affects the construction of the Chinese nation's national identity.The ever-changing development of science and technology and information technology has made the exchanges between countries more and more frequent,and cultural exchanges have become more frequent.In the period of comprehensive deepening reform,the media The rapid development and cross-border integration have made the mass media play an important role in the life of ethnic minority people,and it has also become an important way to construct cultural identity and national identity awareness.There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan,and some of the border provinces and cities are adjacent to the three Southeast Asian countries of Myanmar,Vietnam and Laos.They have always been sensitive areas where various cultural thoughts and nationalist thoughts blend and collide,and they also build national identity consciousness and prevent differentiation.Key areas for invasion of power and maintenance of national unity and social stability.The Dai people are connected to ethnic groups such as Baiyueand Bailu,and their language,culture and customs have an influence.The history of the embarrassment(renamed Ruili in 1932)has always been the political,economic and cultural center of the Dai people.The several local migrations that have taken place have spread the Dai people to some of the Southeast Asian countries today and become a multinational country.The nation of the line.The Dai people living in the border of Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in western Yunnan today.The villagers and the residents of the northern district of Shan State in Myanmar often come to each other and the social exchanges are complicated.In the first half of the 20 th century,the trend of "Datai nationalism" was initiated by the Kingdom of Thailand.The domestic and international environment changed,the information was complicated,and the consciousness and concept of minority groups were formed in conflicts and replacements.The cultivation and guidance of the national identity consciousness is also crucial.The media actively builds bridges and strives to obtain the recognition of the nationalities and governments of all ethnic groups,which is conducive to the legitimacy of government governance and contributes to the unity and development of the country.This paper outlines the history and habitat of the border Dai villages by combing the history of the development of the Qiang ancestral culture,combining the social changes of the Dehong village and the spread of the proverbial media.Secondly,through several visits to Dehong Dai villages,combined with participatory observation and 417 valid questionnaires,on the basis of this,the media acceptance and use of local Dai villagers and the status and regularity of their national identity were summarized.Interviewer's dependence on traditional media and the demand and evaluation of the popular language media,and the use of empirical research methods to analyze the impact of differences in media use on the degree of individual national identity,the study found that the type of media use of Dehong Dai villagers.As well as differences in occupations,education levels,and ages can significantly affect the degree of national identity of individuals.After descriptive analysis and significant analysis,this article carefully discusses the impact of borders with field data.The intertwined factors of national identity construction in the areas where the Dai people gather,seek political communication channels that are conducive to the consensus of the audience,and make reflections and conclusions.
