The formation of the national consciousness of the ethnic minority groups in the border-land of China is the result of the borderland integration by different dynasties of China and the interac-tion among different ethnic minority groups.Historical writing is a major cultural vehicle for this in-tegration.Under the influence of such national culturalism,these dynasties constructed a fairly com-plete paradigm of continuous historical writing with typical examples,which ensured the historical writing of their national consciousness embodied in the top-down cultural construction,and was the premise and foundation of the bottom-up responses from the ethnic minority groups in the borderland. Their response through the copy of the legends and myths aimed at obtaining a Chinese identity.On the basis of mutual construction,the ethnic minority groups as the obj ect of historical writing in these dynasties were no longer the outside cognizer because the historical consciousness of these dynasties became the cultural image constructed by both parties while the shared historical identity and their na-tional consciousness were strengthened.The paper also discusses the mutual construction of the his-torical narration of the state and the borderland groups as well as their roles in the formation of their national identity,which may provide some theoretical interpretation of the national identity of the eth-nic groups in the borderland.%边疆少数民族国家意识的形成是中国历代王朝国家对边疆整合及族际互动的结果。历史书写是王朝国家对边疆少数民族整合的主要文化形式。在这种国家文化主义影响下，王朝国家构建完备的历史书写范式，持续不断地进行典范历史书写，确保体现王朝国家历史意识的历史书写能有续、持久地实现由上而下的文化构建。这也是边疆少数民族能由下而上构建起回应的前提和基础。边疆少数民族则通过复刻传说神话等争取中国身份的行动形成回应。在这两者互构的基础上，作为王朝国家历史书写对象的边疆少数民族不再是个无关的认知者，王朝国家的历史意识成为两者共同构建的文化想象，形成共同的历史认同，边疆少数民族的国家意识得以增强。论文论证了国家与边疆民族两者历史叙述的互构在边疆民族国家认同产生中的作用，以寻求理解边疆民族国家认同的理论途径。
