In Europe, there was two distinct paths for the construction of nation-state which were the primary representative of Western Europe within the drive, politics led to the protection of personal rights as a fundamental goal of political and legal community building and in Central and Eastern Europe as a typical hair after stimulation, culture led to the pursuit of independence, unity, prosperity for the ethnic community to create thrust. The political history of China because of complex reasons, both nation-state building process in both dimensions.Although China has a political type of early formation of the nation-state some of the necessary elements-a centralized autocratic system of government founded on the basis of the top-down bureaucracy to manage the relative stability of the "administrative unit", but the same time, wider population of China is a multi-coexistence boundaries blurred cultural community, coupled with a strong autocratic imperial power over the rule of law tradition of the lack of other factors, led to China and not independent nation states on the political construction of the Road Type.The process of nation building in China is under the impact of foreign subjugation and genocide stake in the open, so the first to embark on a European culture of the Middle East road construction ethnic community. Since the construction of cultural groups is a community-oriented culture, then on the Community's "Imagine" to be from the common historical and cultural traditions to find resources.Qing frontier minorities by the Central Plains to establish a central dynasty, had a different historical and cultural traditions with the Han. After two hundred years of coexistence and exchanges, Manchu, in essence, have been integrated into China, but has not been a common historical and cultural traditions and shape. More importantly, the rulers deliberate institutional arrangements, leading to self-segment Manchu enjoy many privileges for a particular political group. This political alienation brought back memories of the history and culture of the world, triggering of the Manchu Chinese identity questioned.As a result, many young revolutionaries and intellectuals in contact with the Western doctrine of nationalism and racism after the Manchu ethnic imagination will exclude a call for "revolution Manchu," the loud slogans, tried to overthrow the Manchu rulers of the so-called established a single ethnic Han Chinese nation. In fact, the Qing Dynasty is not a single ethnic group by the Manchu rule, many Han scholars were to be absorbed into the ruling group to join the pilgrimage as a secular career journey. In most of the Han scholars and bureaucratic nation-state imagination, full, are covered, including the Han.Revolution broke out, and the proposed north-south, the Qing emperor to abdicate and the end of Qing rale, the regime throughout most of the original Han Chinese into the hands of bureaucrats and scholars. Man no longer has a special political status, the gap between the natural elimination of Manchu, "Manchu revolution" mood will naturally be quickly settled.Revolution is a democratic revolution to the fundamental purpose of a constitutional republic. China has already formed a modem nation-state as a prerequisite for the "administrative unit", and after the Chieftain Ming and Qing dynasties a large-scale ongoing efforts, especially in the frontier province of the Qing Dynasty a major move, "administrative unit" has been broadly cover All land, administrative boundaries coincide with the basic boundaries of civilization. At this point, put forward the "republic of five nationalities", trying to transcend ethnic boundaries, through the construction of constitutional law and political-type nation-state building is inevitable.
