论中华民族凝聚力文化内核之儒学特征

On the Confucian Characteristics of the Chinese Nation's Cohesive Power's Cultural Core

中华民族凝聚力文化内核既不是物质文化,也不是制度文化,而是精神文化。一般认为,中华民族精神主要表现为爱国重民、贵和重德、宽厚友善、重义正道和自强不息。这与儒学所提倡的思想是基本吻合的。因而,在当代要让中华民族迸发出更强的民族凝聚力,就必须大力推进儒学的现代化。儒学现代化不仅是中国文化现代化的主体内容,也是中国人在现代社会的安身立命之所在。

The cultural core of the Chinese nation＇s cohesive power is its spiritual culture rather than its material culture or institutionalized culture.It is generally assumed that the major forms of the Chinese spiritual culture are love of the country,great importance attached to the people,the cherishment of peace and morality,the emphasis of being tolerant,lenient and friendly,the stress of justice and righteousness,and the appreciation of the pursuit of perfection,which basically fit in with the ideas that Confucian doctrines advocate.Therefore,in order to enhance the Chinese nation＇s cohesive power,we must make every effort to push forward the modernization of Confucianism,as it is not only the main content of China＇s modernization but also the place where the Chinese people settle down in peace and live their lives in modern society.
