At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century,there is emergence of national liberation movements in different regions of the world.Until the 1960s,Western scholars began to systematically study the problems of ethnicity and nationalism,and then formed different factions.Some important theories of nationalism.This includes the American scholar Benedict Anderson’s "imagined community" theory.Anderson believes that neither classical Marxism nor classical liberalism can interpret the emerging concept of "nationalism" and the historical group of "nation",so it is necessary to establish a new theoretical system for discussion,It is proposed that the nation is a "imaginary community" concept.In his study,Anderson argues that the nation is a sovereign,virtually limited,imaginary political community.And that this is a "special type of cultural artifacts." Anderson’s purpose is to explain how nationalism is based on cultural background,historical conditions and social structure on the basis of the subjective sense of subordination and other factors were constructed.As one of the representatives of the leftist modern nationalist theory,Anderson uses his profound historical knowledge and strong narrative ability,as well as the unique cut into the perspective,summed up a new definition of the nation,and for us to divide out four kinds of nationalist model.According to the concept of "imagined community",Anderson introduced "printed capitalism",combined with some of the paper and literary works of the study,put forward the conclusion of modern nationalist consciousness,and thus contributed to the birth of the nation,to show us A new path of understanding and understanding of nationalism.But many readers will be misunderstood,Anderson’s theory to the minds of the errors.This paper aims to make an interpretation of Andersen ’s national theory through the visual field of historical materialism,the combing of the inner logic of the"imagined community" and the retrospective of the conclusion,including the questioning of the partial view and the inheritance of the feasible theory,And then on the modern nationalism and national issues have been further deepened and a more comprehensive understanding.Anderson’s contribution,not only because of its outstanding achievements in national theory,but also on the practice of political knowledge around,embodies the social consciousness of the social existence of the reaction.In fact,the global imagination community,which is linked to the work of thirty languages in many languages,is a community of progressive intellectuals,and its global travel process weaves a huge modern national network.And need to be aware of whether there is a new ethnic issue in our society today,how to improve,how difficult it is to be solved,how Anderson’s unique thoughts and a lot of data collection and research give us the corresponding revelation The Therefore,it is necessary to have a deep analysis of Anderson’s"imaginative community" and a thorough understanding and thinking.
