A Study Of Political Symbols In The Consciousness Of The Chinese Nation’s Community

Human is a born political animal as well as a born symbolic animal.There is an inseparable close connection between symbols and politics.The political process without symbol participation is unimaginable.Symbols,as an external symbol of power,accompany the political process.As a political and cultural construction process,the establishment of the consciousness of the Chinese nation’s community is bound to be inseparable from the participation of political symbols.The political symbols in the consciousness of the Chinese nation’s community are mainly those symbols that carry the meaning of "C hinese nation" and "C hinese nation’s community".They are committed to presenting the community of the Chinese nation in order to arouse people’s sense of identity and consolidate the country’s political stability.Political symbols have a super social integration function,and they naturally fit in with the inherent needs of the Chinese nation’s community consciousness.In the course of the formation and development of the Chinese nation,a large number of cultural resources and cultural symbols have emerged,which have provided a wealth of political symbol resources for the current Chinese nation’s sense of community.Since ancient times,some geographical features that have special significance to the origin of the C hinese nation,such as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers,have been given the meaning of national totems,making them no longer simple natural objects,but a political symbol and their influence continues to this day.There are also a large number of political symbols in the humanities and history.The most typical "great unification" view of the world is an important internal driving force for the formation and development of the Chinese nation community,and some myths and legends show the close ties between the various ethnic groups in C hina.An important spiritual carrier o f the Chinese nation.Since the Opium War,the history of national salvation for more than a hundred years is an important stage of the conscious construction of the Chinese nation.The political symbols that appeared during this period made the image of the Chinese nation more clearly and intuitively presented,and it also had the function of organizing and mobilizing.The founding of the People’s Republic of C hina in 1949 laid a solid political foundation for the Chinese nation community.The political symbols that appeared at this time not only demonstrated the legitimacy of politics,but also continued to function as a cohesion of the Chinese nation.The construction of the C hinese national community has not stopped,and the corresponding political symbo ls are also changing and appearing more and more.It’s just that there is still no complete set of political symbols that can represent the community of the Chinese nation.It can be said that there is a long way to go.In the current practice of the role of political symbols in forging the consciousness of the Chinese nation’s community,political forces at the national level dominate the creation and dissemination of political symbols.After receiving political symbols,the public will interpret,accept a nd internalize them.In this way play its function in the interactive process.The current operation of political symbols presents the characteristics of linking history and reality,focusing on integration with traditional Chinese culture,and at the same time faces the challenge of being impacted and dispelled by multiculturalism,consumerism and political pan-entertainment,which hinders the effectiveness of political symbols.In view of this,we can try to dig out historical memory,innovate political s ymbols;formulate symbol specifications,strengthen symbol propaganda;pay attention to symbol limits,avoid formalism,etc.,improve the effectiveness of political symbols,so that they can better serve the Chinese nation community Cultivation of consciousness.
