过去未去，未来已来：集体心理时间旅行视域下中华民族认同的建构逻辑

The Past is Not Gone, The Future has Arrived: The Construction of Chinese National Identity from the Perspective of Collective Mental Time Travel

Collective memory and collective future thought are two pivotal dimensions that shape Chinese national identity. This literature review proposes a synergistic mechanism of “arrative integration, emotional connection, and action drive” through which they operate. Collective memory grounds identity in history, answering “where we come from,” while collective future thought orients it through shared visions of “where we are going.” Their interaction—between “the future as after-thought” and “the future as fore-thought”—weaves a coherent “past-present-future” narrative that is essential for national identity. To address current challenges in theoretical localization and methodology, future work must develop localized instruments and diverse methods to effectively forge a strong sense of Chinese national community.

集体记忆与集体未来思考是建构中华民族认同的两个关键维度。本文梳理相关文献，提出二者通过“叙事整合-情感联结-行动驱动”机制协同作用于中华民族认同。集体记忆提供历史根基，塑造“我们从哪里来”的归属感；集体未来思考则通过共同愿景，指引“我们到哪里去”的发展方向。二者形成“回想的未来”与“预见的未来”双向互动，并协同构建“过去-现在-未来”完整时间叙事，共同塑造民族认同。现有研究在理论本土化和研究方法上仍面临挑战，未来需开发本土化测量工具，采用多元研究方法，为铸牢中华民族共同体意识提供理论与实践支持。
