士人的使命与儒家和谐思想的传承

The Mission of Scholars and the Inheritance of Harmonious Confucian Thought

中国古代的士人是传统社会的知识阶层,他们坚守着古代社会的基本价值和准则,对儒家所追求的"道"有强烈的使命感,主要体现在文化传承、社会批判与道德教化、造福社会等方面。传统儒家思想的和而不同、礼乐文化与大同理想对今天和谐社会的建设仍有积极的意义。

The scholars in ancient China were the intellectual class of the traditional society. They clung to the basic values and principles of the old society and had a strong sense of mission about ＂Tao＂ that Confucians pursued, which mainly reflects in culture inheritance, social criticism, moral education and the benefit of society, etc. The traditional Confucian thoughts such as harmony but difference, culture of etiquette and music and the ideal of great unity are still of positive significance for the construction of a harmonious society today.
