More about the book
The book presents a fresh perspective on Chinese nationalism by focusing on fangyan, or regional dialects, rather than the dominant Mandarin language. It explores how these dialects played a crucial role in shaping modern national identity in China, challenging the conventional belief that national languages are the sole foundation of national identity. Through this lens, the author delves into the intricate history of the Chinese nation, revealing the significance of linguistic diversity in the development of nationalism.
