论孔孟之“孝”及当代价值

On “Filial Piety” Proposed by Confucius and Mencius and Its Contemporary Value

"孝"在中国传统文化中具有着深厚的内涵。孔子和孟子从各自的角度对"孝"进行了阐释。孔子希望通过推行"孝",提高人格修养,实现"仁""礼"的政治理想;孟子则将"孝"与政治紧密结合,作为其"仁政"思想的基础。在当代,重新审视孔孟之"孝",对构建和谐社会和传承传统文化有着积极的意义。

＂Filial piety＂ has profound connotations in Chinese traditional culture. Confucius and Mencius each explained it from their own points of view. Confucius hoped that through the promotion of ＂filial piety＂, personality cultivation could be improved, and his political ideal of ＂benevolence＂ and ＂ceremony＂ could be achieved. Mencius combined it with politics as the basis of the ＂policy of benevolence＂. Nowadays, reexamining Confucius＇ and Mencius＇ views on ＂filial piety＂ has a positive effect on the construction of a harmonious society and the inheritance of traditional culture.
