What are the basic characteristics of traditional patriotism?

The patriotism of the Chinese nation has formed distinct historical characteristics and embodied unique national personality in the development of thousands of years. These features mainly include: 1. The historical tradition of the same strain. The Chinese nation has long lived in a relatively closed inland environment and engaged in stable agricultural production activities. Although there was a brief historical division after the war, the time of reunification far exceeded the time of division. Moreover, the continuous integration of various ethnic groups in the historical process from division to reunification has promoted economic and cultural exchanges and created a world-famous Chinese civilization. Such a continuous and long history of civilization is really rare in the world. The reason for this, we believe, is that the Chinese nation has always attached importance to the common interests of the motherland, constantly striving for self-improvement, cherishing morality and carrying things with one heart and one mind, and working hard, forming a patriotic tradition that is both inherited and advancing with the times.

2. Pay attention to the harmonious spirit of fraternity. In the long-term social communication, the Chinese nation has formed a tolerant attitude of resisting aggression, loving peace, opposing separatism and retrogression, and maintaining unity and unity, which has effectively improved interpersonal relations, ethnic relations and state relations in the survival and development of the motherland and created a peaceful, stable and harmonious social environment.

3. The identification way of cultural integration. The patriotism of the Chinese nation is essentially based on the fundamental value orientation of safeguarding and developing the interests of the motherland, and it is a sense of belonging to individual survival and a sense of responsibility for the survival of the motherland. However, the forces that make individual members belong to and identify with the motherland as a social entity can be natural bloodline forces, economic forces and political forces, as well as emotional forces and cultural forces of mental state.

4. Practical rationality of moral consciousness. The practical rationality of moral consciousness is the behavioral feature of China's patriotism.
