日本近世儒学中的尚武思想

On Martialism in Modern Japanese Confucianism

日本德川幕府虽然将中国的以朱子学为代表的儒学定为官方意识形态,大力宣扬文教,鼓励学问。但是,不论德川幕府的统治者如何信赖朱子学说,武士阶级的本性决定了其所实行的文治是以武力为重心的文治。山鹿素行等儒学家们基于这种以武治国的本质和日本的独特意识,认为只要统治阶级坚持以武治国,保持尚武精神,就能实现国家的长治久安。

Dechuan government of Japan advocated moral education and encouraged the spreading of the knowledge although it set Confucianism as the offcial ideology represented by Zhuzi.However,though it believed in Zhuzi doctrines,the nature of its warrior class made its civil administration into the one with military force as a core.Confucians like Yamaga Sokōbelieved,with the peculiar thought to rule the country by force,that the country could be maintained harmonious and safe if the ruling class insisted in Martialism and kept ruling by force.
