竹与修身——德育的“另类”言说

Bamboo and Cultivation——Another Remark on Moral Education

竹文化是根植在中国传统诗性文化土壤上的一种价值创造,它承接了孔子的诗教。这种诗教追求诗化的人生和人生的诗化。因此,中国竹文化具有一种特殊的诗性德育的价值。从孔子的“比德”和“三月不知肉味”到苏轼的“无竹令人俗”;从郑板桥的“种竹似培佳子弟”到个园的园林艺术;从传统社会的竹文化到市场经济中竹园宾馆的企业文化建设,我们看到了中国诗性文化的薪火相续,感受到了诗性德育的魅力。竹,常绿不衰,中通外直。中国传统文化中,“竹”有一种善美合一的诗性之美,它是正直、虚心、有活力的人格象征,在竹的背后有一片陶冶人格的诗性的文化海洋。竹对人有着妙不可言的教化力量,它使道德境界涵蕴审美境界,审美境界附丽于道德境界,这种力量是理性所不能概括的。

Bamboo culture is a kind of value creation based on the Chinese traditional poetic culture. It has continued from the Confucian poetic education, the end of which is the pursuit of a poetic life and poeticization of life. In this article, almost all the small bits of brilliant Chinese bamboo culture have been collected and poetic moral education is raised as a special subject. From Confucius＇ “comparison and morality” and “forgeting the taste of meat for three months” to Su Shi＇ s “vulgarity without bamboo ”, from Zhen Banqiao＇ s “growing bamboos is like training rare students” to the gardening in his bamboo garden, and from the bamboo culture in the traditional society to the cultural construction of garden hotels in the market economy, we can see the continuity of Chinese poetic culture and feel the charm of poetic moral education. Evergreen bamboo, empty inside and straight outside, is the combination of kindness and beauty in Chinese traditional culture. It is the symbol of integrity, modesty and energetic character. It has indescribable power in cultivating personality and mysterious educational strength to people, which cannot be summarized by rationality.
