理性精神:传统文化接受中的遮蔽与误读(一)

The Misreading of Ancient Chinese Literature

文化传承受制于接受者的知识、目的、态度,也受制于时代语境,因此,人们对前代文化的认知、理解多少存在着一些盲区与误解。而今对于传统文化的接受,我们多强调古人的情感,认为他们主要在追求实用,而事实上,在儒家经典中、在科举考试的考题里、在无数人们对于读书目的的阐释中,"从道""穷理""致明致知",注重学生的思辨力及批判精神的培养和考察一直是古代最重要的教育内容之一。传统文化精神中宝贵的理性光芒被今天大多数的接受者完全忽略了。

Cultural heritage is subject to the recipient＇s knowledge, purpose, attitude, but also subject to the context of the era, therefore, people＇s understanding of culture underlies many blind spots and misunderstandings. For the acceptance of traditional culture, we emphasize the feelings of the ancients, that they are mainly in the pursuit of pragmatism. But in fact, by analyzing many Confucian classics and questions from imperial examination, students＇ logical thinking and criticism had always been a focus of education. This beauty of the traditional culture was ignored by most of the today＇s recipients.
