中华文明多样性十论

Ten Lectures on Diversity of Chinese Civilization

中华文明是一种以农耕文明为主轴,以草原游牧文明与山林农牧文明为两翼,并借助传统商业、手工业予以维系,通过现代工业、现代农业、现代服务业予以提升的多样性、复合型文明。对于中国、中华民族、中华文明这样一个巨型国家、巨型民族、巨型文明来说,简单化地套用别国现成的模式是不行的。借鉴和吸取所有外来文明的成功经验,归根结底,都必须使之能和中国的根柢、中华民族的根柢、中华文明的根柢相容、相融,而不是相悖、相害。

The Chinese civilization is mainly concentrated on farming civilization, supplemented by nomadic civilization and forest farming civilization. As a diverse and plural civilization, it has been maintained with the help of traditional commerce and handicraft industry and upgraded by modern industry, agriculture and services. For a big country like China and a great civilization like Chinese civilization, simply copying existing models of other countries does not work. Learning from the successful experience of all foreign civilizations must adapt to and integrate with the conditions of China and Chinese civilization.
