孔子中庸思想之解析

On Moderation of Confucius

在孔子之前,先民们就有"尚中"的思想,倡导中正之德,对恒常的美德也大加称颂。孔子在传承前人的基础之上,为中、庸赋予了仁、礼等重要内涵,使中庸思想得以朗现,并成为儒家重要的思想范畴之一。孔子为我们诲示出了中庸的三重境界,从"无过亦无不及"的无所偏执,到"无适无莫,义之与比"的勿有执著,最终实现"无可无不可"的洒脱,为我们能够无限度地接近中庸之道提供了可能。

Ancestors had praised the thought of ＂middle＂ and extolled the virtue of constancy. They had known the importance of integrity. Confucius inherited it, and reinvested new meaning for the moderation, like etiquette, benevolence and so on. The concept of moderation had been born,which made moderation one of the most important ideological domains in Confucian. Confucius created three levels of moderation. They were from ＂neither excessive nor insufficient＂ to ＂neither abomination nor too love＂, but the perfect level was ＂anything is good＂. They provided chances for us to approximate moderation without limit.
