为何传统?何为传统?——当前语境下重审传统文化的必要性及其概念辨析

The Necessity and Concept of Reviewing Traditional Culture under the Current Context

在当前全球化文化语境下,重新理解民族传统文化的契机已经成熟。无论从现代文化主体的深层心理结构、"五四"以来"盲目西化"的不尽人意还是文化发展的普遍规律来看,重审传统文化都有其必要性和重要意义。然而,回溯传统并不意味抱守残缺,而是在现代视野中重新理解"传统"的内涵,使优化和升华后的"现代民族传统文化"能为现代民族文学建设和文化复兴提供保障与指导。

The time for a new understanding of the national tradition culture is already mature under the current context of globalization. Judging from the deep psychological structure of modem culture subject, the failure of the blind Westernization since the May Fourth Movement or from the universal law of cultural development, reconsideration of traditional culture is both necessary and important. However, backtracking tradition does not mean clinging to incompleteness. With a new understanding of the traditional meaning from a modern perspective, the optimal and sublimed ＂modem traditional national culture＂ can provide guarantee and guidance for the construction of modem of national literature and cultural rejuvenation.
