From a global perspective, the development of citizenship education emphasizing national identity has become the core theme of multicultural society. At present, the research on the sense of community for Chinese nation focuses on two themes: one is the situation of “the pattern of diversity in unity of the Chinese nation”, and the other is the sense of community for Chinese nation. It is an important part of Xi Jinping’s thought on ethnic work of the new era to strengthen the consciousness and foundation of the Chinese nation community. To lay an ideological foundation of the Chinese nation community in the new era, we need to unswervingly carry out the propaganda and education of Marxist views on the motherland, the nation, culture and history. It means that firstly we should study Marxist views on them and their relations to form a Marxist ideological system of national work. Secondly, we need to understand the Xi Jinping’s guiding ideology of ethnic work in the new era and firmly follow the “Chinese road” with Chinese characteristics to solve ethnic problems. Finally, starting from the path of culture, education, and propaganda, we need to strengthen a strategy of the Chinese Nation Community.
