Theoretical Features of Confucian Harmony Thought and Modern Reflections

"和"的观念萌生具有鲜明的农耕经济特色,并发展为源远流长的"和文化"。作为中国传统文化之主流,儒家有着丰富的和谐思想资源。儒家构建和谐的理想大致可分为三个层次,并围绕其中的秩序和谐设计了具体路径,形成了调解人与自然、人与自身、人与他人、人与社会关系的完整体系。儒家和谐思想对今天构建和谐社会有重要的借鉴意义,其实践过程中暴露出的缺陷也值得我们反思。

The appearance of the concept of ＂harmony＂ bore distinctive features of the farming economy; and it has gradually developed into a long-standing ＂harmony culture＂. As a main stream of traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism has rich resources of the harmonious thought. The construction of the Confucian ideal of harmony can be conducted on three levels; concrete methods have been designed around the harmony of order. Thus, it forms a whole system regulating the relationship between man and nature, between man and himself, between man and others, and between man and society. The Confucian idea of harmony has great reference significance for the construction of harmonious society, while the imperfections exposed in the process of practice are worth our reflections.
