游必有方——孔子的旅游思想

Travel Following a Right Principle——Confucius' Tour Thought

孔子一生中有很长时间用在旅途上,远游经历对孔子思想体系的形成至关重要。他对来访的远游者持欢迎态度,也鼓励读书人主动走出去,提出了"游必有方"的远游思想,用"有方"来构建儒家伦理框架下的远游观。孔子的阐述常被后人有选择地误读,说明他的旅游思想具有创新性。孔子的旅游思想强调积极入世的人生价值观,包括"修学"、"游于政"等内容,也有一定的隐逸情调,为后世儒者向释道打开心灵之门预设了一种可能。孔子倡导的"游必有方"既注重实践过程,本身也是有效的教育手段,对道德修养和君子人格养成,具有重要的作用。
