Zhonghua Minzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (677 words) |
 | Zhonghua Minzu (Traditional Chinese: 中華民族; Simplified Chinese: 中华民族; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínzú), is a Mandarin Chinese term that in modern China, describes a notion of a "Chinese nationality" transcending ethnic divisions- in other words, a civic "nationality" as opposed to an "ethnic" one, with a central loyalty to China as a whole. |
| The boundaries of who is or is not a member of Zhonghua minzu have always been somewhat fuzzy and rather inconsistent and have changed from period to period. |
| The roots of Zhonghua Minzu dates from the fact that China was the dominant political power in East Asia for several thousand years, and that during much of the period, the notion of "Chineseness" was defined more in civilizational and cultural terms than in racial ones. |
