“法祖”与“自治”——周必大国家中兴观及其当代启示

On Zhou Bida's Thought of Reviving and the Contemporary Enlightenment

周必大作为南宋著名政治家、思想家和学者,在助政高、孝、光、宁四朝过程中,围绕国家中兴图强目标,阐发了众多见解。其"中兴"主张体现在"法祖"和"自治"两方面,"法祖"即希望君主"循故事,沿祖制",效法贤君累代相承的治政方略,"自治"则建议君主在"修边备、宽民力"基础上,提升国力以实现中兴。"法祖"与"自治"相结合的中兴观,是周必大在总结历史和把握时局基础上提出来的有益之策,对当前中华民族复兴有一定借鉴意义。
