“孔子之谓集大成”要义浅析

Analysis of the Theory of "Confucius is Called the Man Who Culminated Chinese Culture"

孔子学说具有"集大成"性。所谓"集大成"是指其思想、学说具有集往成、开后说的性质。孔子之所以能集大成,首先是因为他"宗周、故殷、据鲁",故能集三代文明之大成,尤其是"夏殷周诸圣贤之学说","集合而组织之"。不仅如此,孔子之学以仁爱精神唤起人的道德理性和社会伦理责任,如何成德、成圣成为其学说的主旨,进而规定了中国传统文化的历史走向。

Confucius is called a man who culminated Chinese culture.We say Confucius culminated Chinese culture,because he inherited the culture in Zhou Dynasty;he was a descendant of a sage in Yin Dynasty,and he lived in Lu State.On the basis,Confucius culminated Three(Xia,Yin,Zhou) Dynasties' culture.Besides,Confucius deeply studied how to attain virtue and come to sage,making his doctrine and our Chinese culture full of moral principles and ethics quality.
