Abstract

Group norms, group goals, group feelings and group affiliation are indispensable elements for the group consciousness. Is Chinese national community consciousness a group consciousness? Combined with the connotation of the national community consciousness given in the official documents, in this article, I try to interpret the consciousness around the four necessary elements mentioned above and give an answer to this question. I find that the formation of the national community consciousness not only conforms to the general law of human consciousness activity and the characteristics of its psychological development stage, but also necessarily follows the general laws and characteristics of the formation of group consciousness, which is specifically manifested in the satisfaction of the four elements mentioned above by the group members in the formation of their consciousness.

Keywords
