The Study of National Identity in the Framework of Chinese Ethnopsychology

The population of the Chinese nation makes up a quarter of the total population of the globe. If studies of the self-consciousness of the Chinese nation are not conducted in world psychology, then a significant gap will appear in this field of knowledge. It is no exaggeration to say that the study of Chinese national identity plays an important role in the field of world psychology. The self-awareness of the Chinese nation at the cognitive level is manifested in a full understanding of the traditional cultures of various Chinese ethnic groups, a rational attitude to ethnic cultural differences and the constant improvement of cultural adaptability. The self-awareness of the Chinese nation on an emotional level manifests itself in the form of close exchanges and contacts between various ethnic groups, constantly reducing the psychological distance between these groups, forming complex and harmonious ethnic relations; The will and beliefs are manifested as the will and determination of all ethnic groups in the process of realizing the great renaissance of the Chinese nation. A complete understanding of the conceptual system of self-awareness of the Chinese nation from the point of view of ethnic psychology is of great importance for building a Chinese national community.
