摘　　要：The state narrative of the Chinese nation is to analyze and illustrate the term“Chinese nation"from the perspective of state,aiming to highlight an innate attributes—the nature of starehoodof the Chinese nation.Chinese nation today,unlike"Chinese nation"in its historical form,is a typical nation in modern sense(as the‘nation"in“nation-state").The one in the past originated from the continuous interaction and exchanges among various ethnic groups in ancient China.Such interaction,communication and exchange promoted integration of the ethnic groups,and thus gave the“Chinese nation"in its early stages.Further,the modern form of the"Chinese nation"is endowed with new connotation through modern social and cultural construction.In a word,there is intrinsic continuity between the two forms,each with different connotations in different historical contexts.Both of them,however,are inseparably connected with the state.As a result,the comprehensive understanding of the Chinese nation can never be achieved without insights into as well as detailed analysis of its nature of statehood from the perspective of state.
