摘　　要：The nation can be broken down into two categories： ＂ancient nations＂ and ＂modern nations.＂ The ancient Huaxia nation went through two phases in the course of its formation： the self-existent nation and the self-aware nation. The reason the self-existent Huaxia nation1 arose in the Xia and Shang period lies in its unified yet diverse composite state structure that could encompass a variety of buzu within the framework of a dynastic state. The pre-Xia Five Emperors period saw the genesis of the Huaxia nation. During this period, different buzu states were cemented into a diverse yet unified nation-state through a confederation of chiefdoms.民族可以划分为"古代民族"与"近代民族"两种类型,古代华夏民族在形成过程中经历了从"自在民族"到"自觉民族"两个发展阶段。夏、商、西周时期的华夏民族属于"自在民族",春秋战国时期的华夏民族属于"自觉民族"。作为"自在民族"的华夏族之所以能够在夏商时期出现,是因为夏商王朝具有多元一体的复合制国家结构,王朝国家框架内能够容纳众多部族。夏代之前的五帝时代,则属于华夏民族的滥觞期,这一时期经过族邦联盟,众多的部族国家最后走向多元一体的民族国家。
