Run And Blend: The Hulunbeier Baerhu Mongols National Identity And National Identity Research

Until recently, the conception of identity, originally in the domain of philosophy, has almost become one of the most modern words in the field of social sciences after being concerned by psychology circles, and the research of identity has been a key multifocal area in ethnology, political science, social psychology, anthropology and sociology. With intensive study, the academic world has continuously expanded the denotation of identity, and what emerged as the times require are self-identity, identification, social identity, cultural identity, territorial identity, ethnic identity, civil identity, political identity and national identity. The paper primarily studies the conception of ethnic identity and national identity because the research of ethnic identity and national identity is not only central to ethnic politics but also a hot issue concerned by all the multi-ethnic nations in the world.Mongolians in Bharhut, Hulunbuir League have been studied in this paper because, on one hand, as an old but relatively young Mongolian tribe, the attention was concentrated on its long history, time-honored experience, unique life style and distinct national culture by numerous scholars home and abroad, on the other hand, as an ethnic group with world significance, Mongolians contribute immeasurably to the stability of Northeast Asia, and, from geopolitical point of view, Mongolians are rather influential in the relationship among China, Mongolia and Russia. At present, the so-called "Tri-Mongolian Unification" is the most interferential force. As a Mongolian tribe, Bargud hold the most basic political significance of geopolitics carried by Mongolians--multinational clans. Besides, taking Mongolians in Bharhut, Hulunbuir as case studies can help researchers get touch with subjects and collect investigation data.In the research process, the writer, based on the literature review, sorts out a path of historical transfer of Bargud so as to get a clear understanding of cultural background of Bharhut. The author analyzes the two basic concepts in the paper---ethnic identity and national identity on the basis of predecessors'exploration on identity, develops questionnaires on ethnic identity and national identity in Bharhut and the outline of interview, then analyzes the quantitative data with SPSS, and makes an analysis on ethnic identity and national identity of Bharhut Mongolians with comparison method and interdisciplinary approach. According to the structure, the paper is divided into three parts, seven chapters altogether. The first part, including Chapterâ… ,â…¡andâ…¢, demonstrates the research origin, subjects'choice, and research methods, then combs out the present research status of ethnic identity and national identity and gets down to Bharhut Mongolian development history and ethnic culture features. Part Two includes Chapterâ…£,â…¤, andâ…¥in which the writer, based on questionnaires and interviews as well as the practical research, makes a contrastive analysis on the ethnic identity and national identity of Bharhut Mongolians under the multicultural background from the standpoint of self-identity, national culture identity, ethnic identity, civil identity and political identity, considering the variations of age, occupation, and country. Part Three is Chapter Seven which brings forward several reflections on how to realize perfect harmony in ethnic identity and national identity of transnational ethnicity and the construction of socialistic harmonious society on the research basis of ethnic identity and national identity of Bharhut Mongolians.The conclusion of the research is that dual identity exists in Bharhut Mongolians, i.e., ethnic identity and national identity which differ owing to different age and occupation while Bharhut Mongolians in our country differ from Buriats in Russia, although they are akin, on ethnic identity and national identity. The results show that, from the present situation of ethnic identity and national identity in transnational ethnicity, the construction of harmonious country has a solid basis of nationalist sentiment and the centripetal force of our country is the common identity from different nationalities which is mainstream relation between nationalities and also the great achievements of nationality policy conducted for many years in our country. However, all the natural emotional bond of transnational ethnicity, interference from secessionist forces home and abroad, and the development level of citizenship education will have some influence on the nation trend of transnational ethnicity, so everyone should consider how to deal with new situation home and abroad and take prompt and effective measures to realize harmony of ethnic identity and national identity from all nations.
