中国古代清白文化管窥

On the Qing Bai(Clean and Pure) Culture in Ancient China

中国古代有着源远流长和内容丰富的清白文化传统,其中北宋赵抃与清白江、西汉杨震与清白吏、北宋范仲淹与清白堂的故事非常典型。文章围绕这些事例对中国古代的清白文化作了初步论述,认为我国历来重视清白做人、清白传家和清白为官,这一绵延不断的传统深刻地塑造了我国的历史文化面貌,对东亚其他国家如朝鲜也有重要影响。认真清理这一传统并加以科学研究,有助于对我国优秀文化传统的深入认识和创造性运用。

Ancient China has a long history of Qing Bai Culture with rich contents, such as Zhaobian of Northern Song Dynasty with Qing Bai River, Yang Zhen of Western Han Dynasty with Qing Bai official, Fan Zhongyan of Northern Song Dynasty with Qing Bai Hall. Around these cases, this paper preliminarily discusses the Qing Bai culture and explores that Chinese culture has always attached importance to the clean and pure reputation of being a man, a family and an official. This substantial tradition profoundly shapes China＇s historical and cultural outlook and greatly influences other East Asian countries such as Korea. Therefore it is helpful to deeply understand and creatively use this traditional culture with detailed study.
