日本传统社会人伦关系中的“非儒”因素

The “Non-Confucianist” Elementin Traditional Japanese Ethic Relation

家族人伦规范是一个国家或民族传统文化的重要组成部分,对人的影响和约束最直接,也最具体。日本是深受儒家文化影响的国家,但实际上只吸收了有益于统治的部分政治伦理,而在传统人伦关系的很多方面排斥和背离了儒家伦理。因此,日本人的家族关系与观念较为开放,实行变革的阻力也就比较小,可以比较从容、积极地面对现代化的挑战。

As an organic part of a nation＇s traditional culture, the norm of family ethics affects one＇s behavior in a most direct and concrete way. Japan is a country deeply influenced by Confucianist culture, yet only assimilates politic ethics selectively in accordance with its governing, whereas in aspect of moral ethics, it deviates from or even repulses Confucianism extensively. As a result, Japanese hold a rather open attitude towards family relation and moral life, which helps itself cope with the challenge of modernization in an easy and active position without much resistance.
