四海之内：地理环境对中华民族多元一体格局形成的影响

相对封闭的地理环境为中华民族从多元走向一体镶嵌了“自然框架”.地域优势利于农耕文化与游牧文化的整合,为中华民族的发展带来了动力.辽阔疆域极大提升了中华民族的整体抗御风险能力.千百年来,中华各民族“你来我去、我来你去,我中有你、你中有我”,已经成为一个息息相关的有机整体.展望未来,如何在剧烈的环境变迁中保存各民族固有文化,使各民族居住地域与“美丽中国”相得益彰,将是新时期民族工作的重要课题.

The Effect of Geographical Conditions on the Multi integration of the Chinese Nation

The relatively closed geographical environment functions as a natural framework for the unified diversity of the Chinese nation. Geographical advantages help the integration of farming culture and nomadic culture, and stimulate the development of the Chinese nation. The vast territory of China enhances greatly its general ability to handle risks. After thousands of years, the people in China have already been closely bound up as an organic intergrity. Looking into the future, how to preserve the culture of different nationalities in the radical changes of circumstances and how to have ethnic areas complement ＂beautiful China＂ will be theimportant topics of ethnic work in the new period.
