在比较历史研究中理解民族主义：伪问题与真问题

民族主义是发源于西方的思想运动和政治实践。如果以民族主义理论分析中国的现实，那就应该首先在比较历史研究中梳理中国的民族主义政治史。通过这种比较研究我们可以发现：民族主义绝不是一种权力或知识精英单方面教化大众的意识形态话语，而是政治共同体全员基于共同生活体验的共同思想；而当今中国社会并不存在所谓的民族主义。在中国，不是民族主义带来了麻烦，真正的问题是民族主义应该得到重建。

Comprehension of Nationalism through Comparative Historical Research

Nationalism originated from social movements and political practice in the Western nations. Before analyzing the current situation of China with the theory of nationalism, we need firstly to clarify the political history of Chinese nationalism through comparative historical research. By doing so, we could find that, nationalism is by no means a rhetorical expression of ideology that the authority and elites use to educate the masses. It is the collective thoughts based on the common life experiences of the whole members of the political entity. In Chinese society nowadays, there does not exist so called nationalism. In China, nationalism does not bring about troubles. On the contrary, the real problem is that nationalism should he reconstructed.
