先秦儒家大一统观念的现代阐释

Modem Expatiation on the General Unity Idea of Pre-Qin Days Confucianists

儒家历来推重“大一统”,孔子关于“天下有道”的理论,孟子“定于一”的命题,荀子“四海之内若一家”的理想,都是“大一统”的表现。先秦儒家的大一统观念对于国家的统一、民族凝聚力的增强、文化价值的整合起了重要的作用。

Confucianists always stress the idea of General Unity, such as Confucianists' theory of 'Tao under heaven',Mencius' concept of 'ending in one',Xunzi's ideal of 'within the four seas all men are like in onr family'. Their General Unity idea has played an important role in the unification of a nation, the enhancement of national cohesion and the integration of cultural values.
