Fu Sinian 's Nationalism Thought And Practice In 1931 And 1945

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chinese nation is faced with severe national crisis, the Chinese nationalism is the strongest emotion at the same time. Among them, Fu sinian’s nationalism thought is the most representative.Fu sinian’s nationalism thought during the War of Resistance Against Japan is divided into the following three aspects. First of all, Fu sinian writed articles for the anti-Japanese propaganda. With his pen as a weapon, he strongly condemned Japan’s invasion, criticized the government nonresistance and called for each nation to unite with fighting the Japanese invasion by publishing articles in the newspaper. Secondly, he called for eliminating national differences and unity of all ethnic groups against Japanese aggression. It is beyond doubt the truth that China is a multi-ethnic country rather than a single national state. But under the circumstances of the war of resistance, this fact is easy to use by invaders, making ethnic separatist and collapsing strength for the war of resistance. Fu sinian already recognize it, and therefore he advocated scholars to pay more attention to the commonality between ethnic groups and try to avoid talking about the difference between them in order to promote national unity. The identity of the Chinese nation thinking makes Fu sinian focuses only on commonality between ethnic groups, and ignores the fact that there are multiple nationalities in China.Finally, his nationalist thought is embodied in his academic research. For the revitalization of the Chinese academic research, to achieve the ideal of "the orthodoxy of oriental studies " in China, he founded the Institute of History and Philology of Academia Sinica, and used new ideas to do research. In addition, in his study of the northeast history shows a strong sense of identity of the Chinese nation. Northeast minority and han nationnality are similar in terms of ethnic origin, and northeast China is a part of China since ancient times.In a word, Fu sinian’s nationalism thought closely around the War of Resistance Against Japan, patriotic thought and consciousness of the identity of the Chinese nation are the two important aspects of his nationalism thought.
