论儒学在中国文化史中的历史地位

Historical Position of Confucianism in China's Cultural History

只有明确儒学在中国文化史中具有的特殊历史地位,才能理解儒学区别于西方文化的独具特质,从而给儒学复兴以合法性依据。儒学是中华民族共同的文化心理与身份认同的基础,是抵御外族文化入侵的核心力量,是维护中国社会安定和谐的精神力量。没有儒学的复兴,就没有中华民族的伟大复兴。

To understand the unique characteristics of Confucianism different from the Western culture, we must define the special historical status of Confucianism in the Chinese cultural history so as to give legitimacy to the revival of Confucianism. Confucianism is the common basis of cultural mentality and sense of identity of the Chinese nation, the central power to resist foreign cultural invasion, and the spiritual force to maintain social stability and harmony. Without the revival of Confucianism, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
