论老舍国家意识中的儒教色彩

The Confucian Elements in Lao She's Conception of Nation and State

儒教对中国现代作家的影响极其复杂而深远,即使是在老舍这样皈依了基督教的作家中,我们也能看到儒教的身影。老舍是基督徒,但一生以爱国为宗教,被巴金称为伟大的爱国者和热烈歌颂新中国的最大的"歌德派",但也正是他晚年喊出了埋藏在心底最大的疑问:"我爱咱们的国,谁爱我呢?"从儒教的角度,撩开其宗教性爱国观的面纱,可以使我们更容易看清老舍悲剧的真相。

Confucian influences on modem Chinese writers were extremely complex and farreaching, so we can even see Confucian elements in Lao She who had actually been converted to Christianity. A Christian though he was, Lao She regarded patriotism as religion throughout his life. Ba Jin once called him a great pa triot and a member of ＂Gede School＂ （literally Praise Singing School）, but it was Lao She who shouted out the very question buried in the minds of modern Chinese during his later years ： ＂I love my country, but who loves me？＂ This paper argues that if the Confucian elements are unveiled in his religious patriotism, we can get a deepened understanding of Lao She＇s tragedy.
