论战国时期的百家争鸣运动

On the Movement of Contention of Different Schools of Thought in the Period of Warring Kingdoms

战国时期百家争鸣运动的核心特征是自由。但后来以自由著述、自由讲学、自由批评、自由流动为表现形式的百家争鸣却成了历史的绝唱。百家争鸣不可能出现在战国前,也不可能存在于战国后,百家争鸣式的自由是历史夹缝中的自由。弘扬中国传统文化应重视复兴诸子时代的自由精神,并在思想创新的基础上,构建创新型社会,而不是修补束缚了中国两千多年的纲常伦理和等级秩序。

Freedom is the essential characteristic of the movement of contention of different schools in the period of Warring Kingdoms. However, the contention of different schools, which occurred in form of free writing, free lecturing, free criticism and free migration, became the historical pinnacle. In order to carry forward traditional culture of our nation, attention should be paid to reestablishing the free spirit in the days of the different contending schools and constructing an innovative - style society by means of ideological innovation rather than mending the old guides and virtues and the hierarchical order.
