《老子》的天下秩序论

On Lao Zi's Thought of the Order of "Tianxia"

《老子》的"天下秩序"有两个层面:现实层面和理想层面。现实层面是"一种各个国家(既包括大国又包括小国)自我约束、兼顾各方利益且坚持和平主义的、具有等级制特征的秩序。"理想层面是"全天下由所有小国组成,以‘道’为准则,坚持和平、和谐、互不干涉、互不交往的秩序。"

With the development of world situation,it is an important issue of construction of world order. China,as the world's second country,is influenced deeply by Lao Zi's thought. By analysis,Lao Zi's thought of the order 'tianxia'is divided into two parts: realistic and ideal. Realistic is the order that for each country,large and small,is self- restrictive,taking other parties interests into consideration and adhering to the doctrine of peace. Ideal is the order that the whole world is composed of small countries,with the'Tao 'as the criterion,adhering to peace,harmony and mutual non-interference in each other's order. Thus,Lao Zi's thought of world order can help us construct a brave newworld.
