“南—北”“东—西”话罗斯(俄罗斯)——《儒家思想的遥远回声》再辨析

ON THE HISTORY, CULTURE AND LOCATION ("SOUTH-NORTH" OR "EAST-WEST") OF RUS(RUSSIA) Rediscrimination and Re-analysis of "A Distant Echo of Confucianism"

俄国德·谢·利哈乔夫院士说:"俄罗斯从来不是东方"("РоссияникогданебылаВостоком")。古代罗斯,在其历史发展初期(公元9世纪中叶),位于东欧平原一隅;后来(从16-17世纪直到19世纪)她逐渐"东扩",以至"地跨欧亚两洲"。尽管如此,莫斯科公国和俄罗斯帝国在历史上不曾是也不可能是"沟通"东西方文化的"桥梁"。联系东西方文化("中西文化交流")的是欧亚大陆上的"丝绸之路"。因此,所谓俄罗斯人与"东方人"、"东方民族"在"民族性格"、"民族心理"、"思维方式",在"价值观、社会观、人生观等方面"彼此"接近"、"近似"、"相似",甚至"同出一辙"(代替"如出一辙")以及诸如此类说法,纯属牵强附会,不经之谈。

Likhachev.D.C, a Russian academician, said：＂Russia has never belonged to the Eastern world＂. Ancient Rus was located in the corner of the Eastern European Plain in the early stage of its development （the mid-9th century AD）. Later （from 16th-17th century until 19th century） she gradually expanded eastward, and finally became a country across both Europe and Asia. Nevertheless, Moscow Principality and the Russian Empire could not act as the bridge between Eastern and Western cultures. It was the Silk Road that connected east and west. So, such viewpoints as the Russian people＇s character, psychology, ways of thinking, and concept about value, society and life are similar to that of oriental people are false.
