略论当代中国发展之道

On the “Tao” of Development for Contemporary China

道,在中国文化与哲学中有多义,分别为本原、法则、方向、方法、真理、规律。探索当代中国发展之道,绕不开对改革开放前后两个30年的评价问题,两个30年本质上具有一脉相承的历史内涵,但又存在着明显的区别。后30年的中国特色社会主义理论中包含了三个原创性突破:原创的社会主义市场经济理论、原创的社会主义初级阶段理论和创新的中国马克思主义。要解读中国不同于西方既定路径的中国道路与价值,必须探索中国文化之根与精神之源,探讨中国的崛起与中华古老传统文明之间的内在关联。同时,研究中国问题既不能急功近利,也不能只是为了彰显中国的文化软实力,其最终的指向还应该是归依于中国现代文明的建构,并追寻中国发展的价值与意义。

'Tao ' carries various meanings in Chinese culture and philosophy, including root, principle,direction, means, truth and rule. To develop the Tao of development for contemporary China can not avoid the assessment of the 30 years before and after the reform and opening-up. The two 30 years essentially came down in one continuous line in historical sense while the differences are evident. Socialist theories with Chinese characteristics in the latter 30 years are composed of three original breakthroughs: original theory of socialist market economy, original theory of socialism at its primary stage and innovation in localized Marxism. To interpret Chinese road and value different from established western pathway, we must explore the root of Chinese culture and source of its spirit, and discuss the internal connection between the rise of China and ancient Chinese civilization. Meanwhile, studying Chinese issues allows no eagerness for quick success and easy profits, or for sheer manifest of Chinese culture as its soft power. The ultimate goal of researches shall be brought down to the construction of Chinese moderncivilization in pursuit of value and significance for its development.
