儒家思想在维护国家安全中的作用

The Role of Confucianism in Safeguarding the National Security

在中国古代的思想流派中,儒家思想具有丰富而深刻的社会意蕴,它内容丰富,是人类应对各种自然挑战和社会挑战的生存之道,对于维护和实现国家安全能产生许多积极的作用。可以从以下三个方面认识儒家思想在维护国家安全中的作用。一是和而不同,把握多样性的统一。努力实现国与国之间的交流、融合、互补,增强民族实力,维护国家主权的独立与完整。二是天地人融合,重和谐。追求人与自然的和谐、人与人的和谐,实现不同地区社会之间的和睦相处。三是中庸之道,反对过与不及。这可以在国际交流乃至冲突发生时化解冲突,维护各国的认同和尊严。

Among China＇s ancient schools of thought, Confucianism with its rich connotations and social significance played a positive role in dealing with natural and social challenges and in safeguarding the national security. This positive role finds expression in the following three aspects： 1. unity with its diversities which tried to help the exchanges, fusion and mutual benefits between different states while enhancing the national strength and safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and unity. 2. emphasis on harmony between man and nature, among human beings as well as the harmonious coexistence between different regions and societies. 3. the adherence to the doctrine of the mean which helped reduce international conflicts and maintain the identity and dignity of each country.
