从传统儒家“德治”思想到现代政治发展

On the Traditional Confucian Philosophy of Rule by Virtue and Modern Political Development

在中国传统文化中占主导地位的儒家所倡导的德治思想,包含了丰富的治国之道,对古代封建社会秩序的稳定起到了积极的作用,推动了中华文明的向前发展。当历史进入了21世纪的特殊时期,儒家德治思想对当今的社会主义建设和治国安邦仍然有着重要的借鉴意义,党中央根据新的形势和任务提出的治国方针,是对我国儒家德治思想的批判和继承,是对马克思主义治国理论的丰富和发展,对于建设中国特色的社会主义、保持政治秩序的稳定、经济的繁荣和社会的可持续发展有着非常重要的现实意义。

The philosophy of rule by virtue advocated by Confucianism plays a dominant role in the traditional Chinese culture. The philosophy embodies a wealth of principles of running state affairs, which has exerted positive influence on maintaining the social stability and order in ancient feudal society and on promoting the development of the Chinese civilization. When history enters a special period in the twenty-first century, the Confucian philosophy of rule by virtue is still of referential value to the nowadays socialist construction and the administration and management of state affairs. Under the new situation and faced with new tasks, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has advanced new guidelines of administering state affairs, which was a result of critically inheriting the Confucian philosophy of rule by virtue and which was also an enrichment development to Marxist theories on managing state affairs. The Confucian philosophy of rule by virtue and the Legalist rule by law are of great significance to building socialism with Chinese characteristics, maintaining political stability and economic prosperity, and promoting the sustainable development of the whole society.
