多元时代需要更强大的民族精神——中国礼乐文化传统的现实意义

A Stronger National Spirit Is Needed in an Era of Diversity——Practical Significance of Chinese Traditional Culture of Rites and Music

民族的复兴需要民族精神的引领,需要找回本位文化的价值,在两千多年中国文明的长河中,礼起到了最为核心的作用,对政治、文化、经济、风俗等产生了不可估量的影响。研究中国文化,不能不及于礼乐文明。通过对历史与人文的溯源考察,揭示以礼乐为核心的"中国文化传统"形成的过程,从学理上阐释古代中国何以走上礼乐治国的道路,无疑具有重要意义。

The revival of a nation needs to be guided by its national spirit, with the value of its specific culture re-identified. Over the more than 2000 years of history of the Chinese civilization, rites have played an essential role in producing immeasurable influence on politics, culture, economy and customs. When studying Chinese culture, one must get involved in the civilization of rites and music. It is certainly of great significance to investigate the origins of history and human culture, reveal the formation process of the 'Chinese traditional culture' that takes the rites and music as its core, and academically interpret how ancient China went on the road of governing the country with rites and music.
