Abstract:Sorting out the conceptual evolution and discourse shaping of the "Chinese national community" constitutes the foundation for constructing China’s independent discourse system on the subject.The multi-dimensional shaping of the concept of "Chinese nation" in the context of national independence and liberation in modern times awakened the collective national consciousness of the Chinese nation, and laid a solid foundation for the discourse of Chinese national community with national identity and social cohesion. Since the founding of New China, the debates on the "unified multi-ethnic state" concept—particularly regarding the state-nation relationship—have shaped the discourse’s functional, political, and value-laden characteristics. Since the new era, the ideological and theoretical interpretations around "forging a strong sense of Chinese national community" have clarified the subject and task of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, leading to the formal appearance of the discourse of the Chinese national community, which is based on the ideological concern of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation by means of the modernization in Chinese style. The conceptual change and discourse shaping of "Chinese national community" expresses the ideological consciousness and conceptual consensus of the Chinese nation as a whole, and lays the conceptual cornerstone and semantic foundation for the construction of the discourse system, theoretical system and historical system of the Chinese national community.
