轴心期智慧与上海文化的历史进程

Wisdom of Axial Period and the Historical Process of Shanghai Culture

上海文化主要经历了三大阶段,分别可称为江南之上海、中国之上海与世界之上海。上海在每一重要阶段都与不同形态的轴心期智慧直接相关。在江南之上海阶段,上海因为地域关系很幸运地成为当时最发达的江南文化的辐射区,充分吸收了江南轴心期的智慧。在古代上海地区的文化发展中,还通过学习、吸收中原文化这一间接方式充分获取了人类轴心期的精神与文化财富。在新轴心时代更加广阔的现实舞台上,上海从一开始就找到了现代大都市的感觉和方向,并在短短的一个半世纪之后就走在了中国与世界城市的前列。在深层结构上看,是上海因此获得了最丰富的文化营养与多样性的文化资源,最终建构出具有独特内涵与性格的现代上海都市文化。
