民族形成的标志,历来众说纷纭。比较汉族族称演变和壮族族称演变历史,可知族称作为民族形成标志具有其合理性,但也存在使用族称作为民族形成的标志必须是本民族内部的自称,一些民族没有自称的族称记载,没有统一族称的民族也可能已经形成等局限性。反映自我民族意识的族称是民族形成的标志,但并非唯一的、必须的标志。 The symbol of the formation of the nation has always been divergent opinions. Comparing the evolution of the Han nationality and the evolution history of the Zhuang ethnic group shows that the ethnic group has its rationality as a symbol of national formation, but there are also signs that the ethnic group is used as the national formation must be self-proclaimed within the nation and some ethnic groups have no claim of ethnic origin Records, there is no unity of ethnic groups may also have formed such limitations. Ethnic groups that reflect their own national consciousness are the symbols of the formation of the nation, but they are not the only signs that must be made.
