Abstract: At the end of the third year of the Xuantong reign, prior to the emperor’s abdication, the Empress Dowager Longyu,proclaimed to all subjects, that“it is the sincere hope that all the people will enjoy a settled life, peace will reign through out the land, the integrated territory, including the five nationalities of Manchu, Mongol, Han, Hui, and Tibetan, will still combine to form a great Chinese nation state.”Through several thousands years’of historical sediment, the notion of“China”and“Chinese nationality”, which had gone through many hardships and revisions, was given the final word by Qing dynasty. From this perspective, the Qing dynasty not only bequeathed the present Chinese territory and the material wealth of united multi-nationalities country, but also the precious spiritual legacy of the content and denotation of“China”and  “Chinese nationality.”
