Ethnic characteristics usually include the characteristics of ethnic areas. The natural environment in ethnic areas, the development level and content of ethnic economy and the history of ethnic development are the main reasons for the formation of ethnic characteristics.

For example, ethnic groups in grassland pastoral areas in northern, northwest and southwest China like riding horses, living in yurts and drinking milk tea or butter tea, which is determined by the cold climate, the characteristics and historical traditions of long-term herders.

Marxism has always attached importance to national characteristics and given full consideration in practical work. Mao Zedong said: "The universal truth of Marxism must be completely and properly combined with the concrete practice of the China Revolution.

In other words, it is only useful if it is combined with the characteristics of the nation and passes through a certain national form. "(Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Vol.2, p.667) The national program and policies of the proletariat and its political parties must be formulated according to the characteristics of the nation and the actual political, economic and cultural conditions of the nation. Ignoring national characteristics,

You will make subjectivist mistakes; Exaggerating national characteristics will deviate from the universal principle of Marxism-Leninism. Only by understanding the national characteristics, proceeding from the national reality and seeking truth from facts can we combine the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the characteristics of all ethnic groups.

The main features and symbols of a country. What is the definition of a nation? How to understand the meaning of six basic characteristics of a nation?

Stalin first put forward his definition of nation in Marxism and Problems written at the end of 19 12 19 13, and reiterated this definition in Problems and Leninism written by 1929. At the same time, the wording was more accurately revised as "a nation is a stable isomorphic body with four basic characteristics, namely, * * * the same language, * * * the same region, * * * the same economic life and * * * the same psychological quality, which were formed by people in history".

China * * * Production Party proposed that as a social person, the nation generally has the same characteristics in historical origin, mode of production, language, culture, customs, psychological identity and so on.

The theory of six characteristics of ethnic composition shows several uniqueness: First, compared with the four basic characteristics of the Marxist definition of ethnic group formed in the rising period of capitalism for capitalist or modern ethnic groups (i.e. sub-ethnic groups), it is more extensive and focuses on ethnic groups developed from tribes (i.e. primary ethnic groups) in the development of human society, and can cover the vast majority of ethnic groups today.

Secondly, compared with the definition of nationality in China traditional culture, it pays more attention to the geographical origin, mode of production, culture and other factors, and more reasonably confirms the origin of nationality and the role of religion.

Third, compared with the definition of nationality that emphasizes cultural and psychological factors in foreign national theories, it pays more attention to historical origins (geographical and ethnic origins) and modes of production, and more reasonably confirms the objectivity, integrity and interrelation of various factors. The theory that constitutes the six characteristics of nationality has wide (comprehensive) content, wide coverage, strong applicability, easy expression, easy application, scientific induction, reality and easy application.

The main characteristics and symbols of the nation 3 What are the fine moral traditions of the Chinese nation reflected in?

1, the whole is supreme.

The sense of social responsibility and mission of wholeness and self-denial. In the traditional ethical structure of China, for the benefit of the country and the people, "promoting the interests of the people under heaven" (Mozi Classic) is the highest expression of morality and the greatest "righteousness". Adhering to this principle to regulate people's behavior and observing this principle is the embodiment of "people with lofty ideals." Many thinkers, politicians and writers have been advocating this realm of life.

Confucius said, "If you don't survive, you will harm others" (The Analects of Confucius, Yongye), and Mencius said, "Life is what I want; Yi, I want to. You can't have your cake and eat it, so you have to sacrifice your life for justice "(Mencius Teng Wengong).

Fan Zhongyan advocated that "if you live in a temple, you will worry about your people;" Far away, the rivers and lakes, and near, you are worried about the king. " "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later" (The Story of Yueyang Tower); Du Fu lamented that "all the buildings are vast, the poor people in the world laugh, and the wind and rain are as peaceful as a mountain" ("The autumn wind in the hut breaks the song").

2. Kindness and interests.

In China's traditional ethics, we pay special attention to and emphasize respect and care for people, advocate mutual care, love and help among people, and strive to create a harmonious and friendly mild atmosphere. Confucius regards "benevolence" as the core content of his ethics, connects "benevolence" with "love" and regards "love" as the fundamental requirement of "benevolence".

It is advocated that "if you want to stand, you want to be benevolent" and "if you give to others, you can say that it is benevolent" (The Analects of Confucius).

To promote harmony between people, we should start from our own personal feelings such as desire, emotion, will and interest, put ourselves in the other's shoes, enhance understanding, be considerate and take care of each other, and give each other convenience, especially help and relief to those in need.

3. Self-improvement.

Thousands of years of changes in China's traditional culture have given birth to the personality spirit of China people, which is manifested in two interrelated and opposite aspects: one is "striving for self-improvement" and the other is "caring for morality". In the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes, the theory of "vigorous" was put forward for the first time, that is, "vigorous but not sleepy, but poor in meaning" and "a gentleman is vigorous and self-reliant".

(The Biography of the Elephant in the Book of Changes) "Vigorousness" is manifested in the initiative, initiative and unyielding character of life, and the spirit of self-improvement. The idea of "Vigorousness and self-improvement" has always been advocated by thinkers of all ages and has become the spiritual pillar for people to inspire their fighting spirit and overcome difficulties. And "respecting morality and carrying things" is the humanistic feeling nurtured by China's traditional ethics, and it is also a realistic way to achieve vigorous and self-improvement.

It is pointed out in the Book of Changes Xiang Zhuan that "the terrain is vast, and a gentleman carries things with virtue". It is advocated that a gentleman should be as broad-minded as the earth, gestating, containing and accommodating all things, thus making himself a profound saint.

4. Cultivate self-discipline.

Paying attention to the cultivation of personal moral quality is a unique ethical culture in China's traditional morality, and the spiritual heritage that can be learned and inherited in this respect is also the richest.

China and ancient hundred schools of thought all had discourses on moral cultivation, and Confucianism had the most systematic information in this respect. Confucianism built a cultivation system of "three cardinal guides and eight orders" for people.

The "three cardinal principles" of "showing virtue, being close to the people and stopping at perfection" clearly defines the fundamental purpose of cultivating personal moral quality. "Those who want to show the virtue of the world, those who want to govern the country first, those who want to put their families first, those who cultivate themselves first, those who cultivate themselves first, those who are straightforward first, and those who are sincere first.
