近现代史上,因列强侵略而带来的民族危机在中国社会引发的心理反应可谓错综复杂。它一方面激发了中华民族的爱国主义和民族主义心态,另一方面,“亡国灭种”的危机感也时常演化为严重的死亡焦虑。关于后者,一些有关死亡主题的谣言事件即为典型的表现。 In modern history, the psychological reaction caused by the national crisis brought by the invasion by the powers can be described as complicated in China. On the one hand, it stimulated the Chinese nation’s patriotism and nationalist mentality. On the other hand, the sense of crisis of “perishing the nation or extinction” also evolved into a serious anxiety of death. With regard to the latter, some rumors of the death theme are typical examples.
