中华民族共同体意识是国家统一之基，铸牢中华民族共同体意识是习近平总书记在深刻洞悉中国几千年历史文化和把握中华民族历史发展规律基础上作出的科学论断。文物与文化遗产是见证中华民族形成发展的重要物证，保护传承文物与文化遗产是承继中华文明、维系民族精神的应有之义。文物与文化遗产在历史层面上通过“言说”中华民族早期历史、呈现中华文明突出特征、实证“五个共同”中华民族史来展现中华民族形成和发展脉络；在理论层面上以其直观性和丰富性促进中华民族共同体意识的感性生成和理性升华，以其真实性激发中华民族共同体成员的情感认同；在实践层面上通过推进考古研究、加强博物馆建设、利用先进科学技术和推进文旅融合的方式来活化文物与文化遗产，从而进一步发挥其铸牢中华民族共同体意识的作用。

The sense of community for the Chinese nation is the foundation of national unity. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is a scientific judgment made by General Secretary Xi Jinping based on a profound understanding of China's thousands of years of history and culture and a grasp of the historical development laws of the Chinese nation. Cultural relics and cultural heritage are important physical evidence witnessing the formation and development of the Chinese nation. Protecting and inheriting cultural relics and cultural heritage is an inherent part of carrying forward Chinese civilization and maintaining the national spirit. On the historical level, cultural relics and cultural heritage “speak” about the early history of the Chinese nation, present the prominent features of Chinese civilization, and provide empirical evidence for the “Five Commonalities” of the history of the Chinese nation, thereby revealing the formation and development of the Chinese nation. On the theoretical level, they promote the intuitive generation and rational elevation of the consciousness of the Chinese nation as a community with a shared future through their intuitiveness and richness, and inspire the emotional identification of members of the Chinese nation with their authenticity. On the practical level, they are revitalized through advancing archaeological research, utilizing advanced science and technology, strengthening museum construction, and promoting the integration of culture and tourism, thereby further enhancing their role in forging the consciousness of community for the Chinese nation.
