Minzu (anthropology)
Chinese concept of community and culture / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In China, the word minzu (Chinese: 民族; pinyin: mínzú) means a community that inherits culture (文化) or consanguinity (血缘). Depending on the context, the word has various meanings, such as "nation", "race" and "ethnic group". In modern Chinese languages, minzu has a stronger cultural meaning than racial meaning.
Minzu-based nationalism is associated with nationalism in Northeast Asia and Vietnam, usually in the form of cultural or ethnic nationalism, in contrast to state nationalism.[1] Minzu-based nationalism in China and Taiwan is close to multi-ethnic nationalism.[2]
