互嵌式社区作为各民族多元文化共生共荣的生活共同体，是构筑各民族共有精神家园、铸牢中华民族共同体意识的有效载体和重要抓手。以贵州省兴义市木陇街道互嵌式社区为例，分析其文化互嵌与文化认同的现状成效、层次关系、现存问题及解决方法，对铸牢中华民族共同体意识的文化路径创新具有启发意义。易地扶贫搬迁政策所构建的互嵌式社区表现为，在政策的引导下，多文化、多民族的人群聚集到同一个场域内，进行日常生活的接触、交往与交流；依托政策支持和时间沉淀，最终促成各民族文化多样性与中华民族文化一体性的有机统一。铸牢中华民族共同体意识的文化路径，需要正确看待文化互嵌的集体客观性与文化认同的个体主观性间的辩证关系，细分各阶段居民的互嵌策略，推动互嵌认同进程；深入挖掘优秀传统文化，营造民族团结氛围；加大国家通用语言推广力度，畅通交往交流渠道。

This article explores the practical relationship between internal cultural embedding and the development of cultural identity. Through qualitative fieldwork conducted among several typi-cal inter-embedded communities in the Mulong Subdistrict of Xingyi City, the research analyzes the current situation, underlying mechanisms, practical difficulties, and potential pathways for optimizing cultural embedding and cultural identity in the communities from the perspective of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese na-tion. The core viewpoint of this article is that those “policy-driven” interlocking communities can, in effect, accelerate the transition from “cultural em-bedding” to “cultural identity,” thereby advancing the broader objective of forging a sense of commu-nity for the Chinese nation.This article analyzes the above process using Lefebvre's theoretical framework of “dialectical tri-ad of space”. “Space practice” refers to the space where the material dimension of culture is inter-twined; this is a perceivable space encompassing people's cultural activities, behaviors, and their tangible outcomes. It is a collection of production and reproduction carried out by people in concrete space, forming the starting point of cultural inter-weaving. The term “spatial expression” refers to a space where spiritual and cultural elements are in-tertwined. This is a conceptual space that encom-passes people's thought, imagination, or ideology and other mental activities and behaviors as well as their resulting consequences. It is a space con-structed through elements such as symbols and knowledge. And “ expressive space” can be de-scribed as a transcendence of the deep interaction and superposition of the first two. It is a lived space shaped under the tension of the first two, a complex world characterized by development, crea-tion, integration, and identification meanings. In this space, spontaneous cultural integration, emotional resonance, and meaning sharing occur, thus nurturing a deep level of community identity.To deepen cultural integration into sustainable cultural identity, three key challenges must be ad-dressed: Firstly, there are differences in the cul-tural adaptation stage, and governance strategies lack specificity or targeted approaches; secondly, cultural activities tend to be superficial without deeper engagement with shared cultural cores; thirdly, language barriers hinder deep communica-tion and interaction, compounded by insufficient promotion of the national common language. Based on this, this article proposes three paths to inno-vate the cultural practice of consolidating the Chi-nese national community consciousness: 1) Imple-menting differentiated embedding strategies accu-rately tailored to residents' cultural adaptation sta-ges—initial adaptation, stable development, and deep integration—to better address group-specific needs and promote the process of mutual embed-ding and identification; 2) moving beyond superfi-cial cultural activities to deeply delve into and in-terpret the shared symbols and spiritual essence of traditional Chinese fine culture and various ethnic cultures, achieving a shift from “form embedding” to “meaning symbiosis”; 3) strengthening the pro-motion of the national common language with inno-vative methods, targeting language barriers in spe-cific contexts and ascertain difficulties for the eld-erly population, thereby smoothing emotional and information channels for deep communication. Thus, a cultural path would be established: From poverty alleviation and relocation policies, to em-bedded communities, then to cultural integration, next to cultural identity, and ultimately, to the forging of a strong sense of community for the Chi-nese nation.
