“天下观”这一以文化而不以民族作为区分原则的文化观念、心理观念,与“华夷之辨”一样几乎统筹了中国上下两千余年的文化心理。但随着民族主义浪潮的袭来以及甲午中日战争的惨败,中国人的民族自尊心遭到了空前的打击,这场战争也就成为了“天下观”没落以及现代民族意识崛起的重要转折,中国不可避免地融入到了近代社会变革大潮中的民族主义思潮中来。 “View of the World ” This cultural concept rather than the principle of nationality as the principle of discrimination, cultural conceptions, almost the same as the “Hua Yi Zhi Dao”, unified the cultural psychology of China for more than two thousand years. However, with the coming of the wave of nationalism and the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, the national pride of the Chinese people has been hit by the unprecedented strikes. This war has also become an important turning point in the decline of the “world outlook” and the rise of the modern national consciousness , China inevitably has integrated itself into the nationalist trend in the tide of social transformation in the modern era.
