Abstract

This paper examines how the narrative of Zhonghua nationalism exerts influence over cultural production in contemporary China and analyzes its structural ramifications. Within film and television, specific historical themes are constrained from entering mainstream cultural production; in video games, certain historical factions are minimized or rendered entirely absent from narratives; in online literature, market mechanisms reflect historical preferences distinct from official state narratives through reader subscription behavior; in historical publications, ethnicity-inflected linguistic expressions from the past undergo textual revision; and within the Hanfu movement, Han culture is not directly suppressed but rather subsumed and repackaged within the overarching framework of "Zhonghua culture."
