汉代的敬老文化及启示

The Han Culture of Respecting the Elderly and Its Implications

敬老关系治国安邦。汉代是中国敬老文化发展的重要时期,统治者以孝治天下,政府从教育、舆论、礼仪、法律、选拔官员等各方面采取措施,营造出全社会尊老敬老的良好风俗。研究汉代敬老文化,对于我们今天践行社会主义核心价值观,维护社会的和谐稳定有着重要意义。

Respecting the aged is closely associated with the governing of the country. The Han Dynas- ty was an important period in Chinese ancient history, when the culture of respecting the aged was greatly promoted. The kings of the Han Dynasty held the belief of ＂administering the country by filial piety＂ when they were in power. The government took various measures to implement the policy in order to ensure that everyone in the country would respect the elderly people. The study of this cul- ture in Han Dynasty will be conducive to the practice of the socialist core value and the maintaining of the social harmony and stability.
