中国传统文化之解读:特征与弊端的初析

Interpretations to Chinese Traditional Culture:Briefly on its Characteristics and Defects

华夏大地为中华文明的发展提供了独特的自然环境。特殊的半封闭的地理位置与地形条件,"深耕细作"型的农业经济,使整个国家构成了"内向型"经济运行模式,形成独具特色的中华文化。其特征是:不喜欢远征、不喜欢极端、不喜欢失序。其弊端有:不在乎公共社会空间(也包括公德等)、不在乎真假、不在乎创新,这就是世界视野下的中华文化。中华文化是一种在辉煌时期也缺少变化的文化。进入21世纪,要寻找新的支点,要从深层次上打破传统文化的惯性,融合到世界文化之中,使中华文化更加焕发出新的光辉。

Chinese territory has supplied unique natural environment for the development of Chinese civilization. The semi-closed geographical position and topography, and the agricultural economy featuring deep ploughing and intense cultivation made the ＂domestically-oriented＂ economy develop in the country, which shaped the distinctive Chinese culutre, characterized by the dislikes for expedition, for extremity and for disorder, yet in the mean time, not whithout defects including indifference to public space （including public morals） , to the truth and the false, and to creativity. This is, seen from a world perspective, the Chinese culture,a cuhrure with not many changes,even in its splendour. In 21 st century, for the sake of Chinese culture,we need to find new strongpoints to make breakthrough in traditional culture and to get Chinese culture integrated into the world culture.
