The Rustic Opinion Of The Unification Thought And Its Value

The The history of China was jointly created by all ethnic groups living on this land.The idea of "Great unity" ran through the whole process of historical development and occupied a dominant position.It was promoted and developed in most periods,while the conservative and exclusive idea of "respecting the king and fighting against the foreigners" was eventually replaced by "the world is one family".Since the pre-Qin period,the continuous expansion of people’s understanding of each other’s position and the continuous construction of the world system have further expanded the perspective of different ethnic groups’ understanding of the world.In the process of understanding and transforming the world,people strengthen the concept of "Tianxia" and have a new understanding of their own positioning.The gradual development and interweaving of the concept of "Tianxia" and the concept of self together give birth to the idea of "unity".At the same time,the pre-Qin Confucians represented by Confucius,Mencius and Xun promoted the idea of "unity" to further develop.For the ruling class of the feudal dynasty,the idea of "grand unity" not only refers to the emperor’s ability to occupy the maximum space,but also includes the establishment and maintenance of the legitimacy of the ruling period,and refers to the policy of virtue that can appease the public and gain the support of the public.The idea of "great unity" showed the basic characteristics of identity,inheritance and commonality in the development of ancient feudal dynasties,and maintained the unity of multi-ethnic countries,promoted the mutually beneficial coexistence of all ethnic groups and enhanced the overall identity of the Chinese nation in the process of ethnic communication and integration.Although the idea of "Great unity" did not spontaneously lead all ethnic groups in China to achieve complete equality,it was of a certain advanced nature compared with other ethnic views at the same time in ancient society,and provided ideological guidance and theoretical support for exchanges and integration among ethnic groups under the development of various periods in the past dynasties.At the same time,various ethnic groups in ancient China constantly promoted the enrichment and development of the idea of "Great unity" in the practice of ethnic exchanges and integration.Through political,economic and cultural contacts and participation,they built the "great unity" of China,which laid a solid foundation for the continuation of a unified multi-ethnic country and the cohesion of the Chinese nation.It plays a positive role in shaping and cultivating the ideology and culture of the Chinese national spirit and has a positive practical significance in maintaining the national unity and ethnic unity of contemporary China.
