试论《任子遗书》的家族修身哲学

Discussion on the Philosophy of Family Cultivation about Renzi Yishu(《任子遗书》)

为了塑造和培养族人的道德素养和品性人格,中国古人尤其注重家族文化的传承和培养。家族文化固定流传的形式便是家族训言。其中,《任子遗书》便是记录任氏族人训言和教诲的文本,它长期被任氏族人奉为修身养性之圭臬,反映了任氏族人的家族哲学。笔者以为,立足待人接物和修身智慧的角度而言,《任子遗书》所言的成人之道可以划分成为学、忠孝、言行、交友、礼乐等等五个方面,先贤的这些修身教诲对于目前促进现实道德增益、弘扬家族文化繁荣和推动儒学深入研究仍然具有深远的理论意义和现实价值。

In order to shaping and cultivating the ethical quality and personality of the clansmen, the ancient Chinese people paid particular attention to the inheritance and training of family culture. The inheritance form of family culture is the family language. Among them, Renzi Yishu is the text of recording the teachings of the Ren people, it has been long regarded as magic weapon of self-cultivation, reflects family philosophy of the Ren people. I think that , based on the perspective of self-cultivation and wisdom of how getting along with people, Renzi Yishu9 s words can be divided into five aspects, learning, loyal and filial, words and deeds, making friends, etiquette and so on, these moral cultivation teachings of the sages still have far-reaching theoretical and practical value for promoting the current moral gain, carrying forward the prosperity of the family culture and promoting the further study of Confucianism.
