摘要
“中和”一词在先秦儒家经典文本中的含义,远远比后儒的解释要丰富得多。中和,即合于“中”之“和”;“中”指自然,“和”是“自然”的实现;欲使“中”发而为“和”,须中“节”,因而“节”成为由“中”之“和”的中心环节。在世界文化日益走向“全球化”的时代背景下,这种有所“节”的“中和”观念无疑对当代多元文化的发展具有非常重要的理论和现实意义。
The meaning of Zhong He by the Confucian classic texts in the pre-Qin days is far more comprehensive than that in the later days. Zhong He namely the He integrated in the Zhong Zhong refers to Nature while He is the realization of Nature to develop the Zhong into He Jie tempering should be taken into account so Jie becomes the vital link between Zhong and He. Now that the world cultures approach globalization such a conception of Zhong He neutralism with some tempering undoubtedly is profoundly important both in theory and practice to the development of modern plural cultures.
