日本武士家训中的儒学思想

Confucianism Embodied in Japanese Warriors' Family Precepts

日本被认为是深受中国儒家思想影响的国家,但是,随着中日不同社会结构的历史演变,日本儒学在许多方面具有与中国儒学不同的性质。武士家训就反映了这一点。儒学自5世纪初传入日本,即为统治阶级所学习。江户时代,武士谨言慎行、遵守礼节的自律与儒家道德相结合,修身之诫在家训中占很大比重。值得注意的是,由于两国社会状况的差异,日本儒学的内涵并不能完全与中国等同视之。

While it is thought that Japan is a country deeply influenced by Confucianism of China, characters of Japan＇ s Confucianism differs frorm that of China in many aspects with historical social structure changes of the two countries. It is reflected by The Warrior Family Precepts. Confucianism was spread to Japan in the early fifth century and accepted by the ruling class. In the age of Edo, Warriors＇ speaking and acting was cautiously self-disciplined and complied to courtesy. Combining with Confucian morality, self-discipline occupied a large part in the family precepts. It should be noticed that contents of Confucianism in Japan are not completely the same with that in China, owing to the different social conditions in two countries.
