先秦时期的历政文化

On the Calendar Management Culture in the Pre-Qin Times

中国古代自尧制新历起形成了实质上与巫史文化对立的历政文化,这标志着中国古人对最基本的自然规律开始有了比较明确的认识,从而对以农业为主的社会生产发生了重大的积极作用,并孕育了中国古代的唯物主义天人哲学,故历政文化是中国古代最重要的优良传统文化之一。在先秦学术中,真正继承历政文化精髓并使之升华的是儒家之学,渊源于历政文化的阴阳五行之学则最终沦为一种“舍人事而任鬼神”的“小数”。

The fact that Chinese ancient calendar management culture formed since the new calendar system of Emperor Yao is opposite to the culture of Wushi substantively indicates that Chinese ancient people began to know the most fundamental order of nature definitely, therefore it had an important and active effect on the social production which focused on agriculture. It also bred Chinese ancient material philosophy of heaven and man. The calendar management culture is one of the most important eminent traditional cultures.
