人伦重建是中国文化复兴必由之路

The Reconstruction of Human Relations:An Essential Route to the Renaissance of Chinese Culture

依据文化心理学的研究成果,中国文化从古至今是一种关系本位的文化,由此决定了人伦关系建设是社会秩序建设乃至中国文化复兴的基础。重建人伦关系有如下几个重要方面:1.必须重新认识中国文化的核心价值是五常和忠孝,而非自由、平等、人权等西方价值观;2.必须确立每个人"各遂其性"(即每个人的尊严和价值得以保障或实现)为中国文化的终极目的或最高理想;3.社会教育重于学校教育,"风化"即社会风气改造是社会道德进步的必要条件;4.道德教育必须走出国家主义和自由主义两个极端的误区,以人格的独立和健全为道德教育的根本任务。

According to the findings of cultural psychology , the Chinese culture is a culture heavily based on personal relations.This shows that the continued fostering of human relations will be the foundation of China's future social order , even the renaissance of Chinese culture.The following are important aspects in the reconstruction the human relations.First , we must realize again that the core of Chinese culture is the five cardinal virtues , i.e. benevolence , righteousness , propriety , wisdom and fidelity , as well as loyalty and filial piety , and not the Western values such as freedom , equality and human rights.Second , the highest ideal of Chinese culture is that everyone fulfills his/her nature.Third , social education is more important than the academic education , and the alternation of social atmosphere is the prerequisite for the progress of social morality.Fourth , the moral education must not degenerate into either of the opposite extremes of nationalism or liberalism.Rather , moral education should strive to foster independence and a healthy personality.
