Abstract
This chapter will examine the power of politics in influencing culture, memory, the community, institutions, and social order, which together condition individual and collective action. While, for historical reasons, the politics of nationalism in China has emerged through historical experiences of greatness and humiliation, it aims to maintain cultural autonomy and unity in China’s education to serve the purpose of nation-building depending on the prevailing contemporary political ideology. In particular, this chapter will map out some forms of authorities and illustrations on how historical memory has been strengthened by Chinese educational socialization. With tensions between China and foreign countries, it will also describe how Chinese people’s historical consciousness has been traced and educated by the complexities of myth and trauma, particularly between 1949 and the mid-2010s.
