Vernacular China explores traditional China's sense of boundaries and its causes

Vernacular China explores the boundary consciousness and causes of traditional China as follows:

The boundary consciousness of traditional China stems from a variety of factors such as politics, culture, and religion, as well as the feudal social structure of Chinese history. In feudal China, the state-centered boundary consciousness was formed with the emperor as the head and Confucianism as the foundation.

In addition, the idea of "native China" in traditional Chinese culture is also an important part of traditional Chinese border consciousness. The idea of "vernacular China" takes the geographic boundaries of China as the boundaries of Chinese culture, so as to maintain the integrity and unity of Chinese culture.

This border consciousness is not only reflected in politics, culture and religion, but also in Chinese folklore and folklore. As can be seen in the literature, the Chinese have a deep affection for their native land, which they regard as a unified whole and maintain the integrity of their native culture.

Thus, the idea of China's "native China" is also an important part of traditional Chinese border consciousness.
