德川时期的日本儒学

Confucianism in the Tokugawa days

德川时期的日本儒学无论是对社会生活的渗透,还是对知识分子的教养乃至思维都有着不可估量的影响,尤其是在德川政权的建构中占据了重要的思想空间。儒学从德川家康起被德川几代的政治家们推向政治舞台并扮演了重要的角色。赋予浓厚儒学色彩的尊王攘夷给予幕末维新志士摧毁德川幕府的思想力量,这正是日本知识分子在儒学文化中挖掘出的文化资源演变成的文化力。儒学在日本封建社会结束和近代国家建立的历史运转中找到了自己生存的空间明治政权又一次选择了儒学。

In the Tokugawa age, Japanese Confucianism had an imponderable influence not only on the social life and the inteUigentsia＇s culture but also on their thoughts. Especially in the political structure of Tokugawa leyasu, Japanese Confucianism took up an important thought space. It had played a great role since Japanese Confucianism was dragged into the political arena by Tokugawa leyasu and many Tokugawa statesmen after him. It also gave Imperial Peverence and Expelling the Barbarians ideological power to smash the Tokugawa Shogunate for the noble - minded Meiji Restoration. These are the cultural power evolved from the cultural wealth that Japanese intelligentsia gained from Confucianism teachings. Then Confucianism obtained its historical living apace in the establishment of a modern country and the end of feudal society. The Meiji Administration chose Confucianism again.
