中国文化保守主义思潮的考察

Conservatism of Chinese Culture

中国文化保守主义思潮是在中国近代历史上发展起来的一股比较强大的文化思潮,其发展有其自己独特的文化背景和理论传承。本文从中国文化保守主义思潮的历史来展示中国文化保守主义思潮的发展过程,从其历史的发展来看,中国文化保守主义产生的精神来源是儒家积极入世、忧国忧民的爱国救民的内在精神,其本质是在传统精神关照下的文化创新和探索活动,但由于其理论的种种不足,并没有对社会产生实质性的影响。正是由于中国文化保守主义的理论不足使得其发展遇到了极大的障碍,能否成功跨过这道道障碍是文化保守主义存在发展与否的关键因素。虽然文化保守主义对中国现实社会未造成实质性的影响,但在理论上和精神上给了后人很大的反思,至少可以是文化发展的教训。

As a kind of powerful cultural ideology, conservatism of Chinese culture arose with its unique cultural background and theoretical heritance. This paper shows the development of conservatism of Chinese culture from its history. From its experience, the idea of social responsibility that the Confucian school advocated is its spiritual source. Its essence is cultural innovation and exploration. China＇s cultural conservation does not have substantial impact on China＇s society. In spite of this, it offers margin for theoretical reflection. At least it gives a lesson for cultural development.
