不能把诸侯贵族的爱国思想和平民与士的爱国精神画等号──答李增林和龚世俊二同志

The Patriotism of the Princes and Nobles Is Not Equal to That of the Intellectuals and Common People

屈原的爱国精神在当时不是一种普遍的现象，而是贵族的宗族观念和北方殷商文化相互融合的产物，这种爱国精神并不代表楚国人民的根本利益，对社会的发展没有实际的积极意义，故不值得肯定和赞扬。否定屈原的爱国精神并不等于否定今天的爱国主义，也并非因此而找不到今天爱国主义的精神源泉了。《诗经·小雅·采薇》一诗的爱国精神才是今天爱国主义的最早的精神源泉。

Based On the historical fact that the common people and intellectuals in the Warring States don' t have the state concept or Princedom, only the nobles have that concept, this paper proves that Qu Yuan' s patriotism is not a popular phenomenon at that time, but a mixed product or the nobles' clannish notions and the culture of the Yin and Zhou Dynasty in the north. Such Kind of patriotism doesn' t represent the basic interests of the people in the Chu State. It has no real significance to the social development, so it is not worth confirming and appraising. However, to deny Qu Yuan' s patriotism of by no means to deny the present - day patriotism that still can find its source, without any effect of this negation. The patriotism in the Book of Songs. Xiaoya. Caiwei can be regarded as the earners spiritual source of the present-day patriotism.
