西汉意识形态的开放性特征

The Openness of the Western Han Dynasty Ideology

"开放"是突破传统思维定式和狭隘眼界,多视角、全方位地看问题,不封闭,不固步自封,不断追求完善和发展。西汉以儒学为主的意识形态具有明显的开放性特征,表现为:吸收各家各派的学说以充实以儒学为主的意识形态;不以儒学为单一的执政指导思想;以儒学为主导,允许各家各派思想的多元并存;根据现实需要对先秦儒学进行新的阐释;对各种言论的开放。开放的意识形态使开放、进取、以大为美等,成为西汉时期社会性格和民族精神的主要内容,并促进了各民族之间的融合,加强了中外文化的交流,成为西汉国力强盛、声威远播的重要原因。
