儒家文化与民族精神

Confucian Culture and National Spirit

深层文化精神是一个民族显示其内在生命特质以区别于他民族的标志。一个民族之所以区别于其他民族,并不只在于衣、食、住、行等器物层面上的不同,也不在于经济模式与政治制度上的不同,主要的区别在于某种集体的深层文化精神。长期的文化熏陶已经造就了各民族的集体民族认同感,这就是超越了狭隘民族界限的中华民族的民族精神。实现一种道德自觉的境界。可以说人伦秩序,道德教化,这是中国儒学反复论证的主题。作为一个理性主义者,他可以不相信宗教,却不能够不在儒家思想的支配下,于生死关头舍生取义。这种道德理性的力量在精神领域里所产生的社会效果远不是对物质功利的追求所能达到的。

Deep culture spirit is a nationality notation which can distinguish other nation. The reason why a nation can distinguish others is that not only their materiality extent, their economic mode and political system ,but also their deep culture is different. The china＇s nation spirit which transcends strict nationality limit has formed by long culture influence and attain a morality bourn. The themes which Confucianism discusses are ethics order and morality. A idealist maybe ignore religion, but he must be a morality man by Confucianism culture＇ s influence. The morality influence will form a widely effect in the spiritual area but the material influence will not.
