从世界文化的角度重新审视中国传统文化的价值

Rethink the Value of Chinese Traditional Culture from the Perspective of World Culture

对中国传统文化价值的论证不是单纯的中国文化本身考察,而是将中国文化特质放在世界文明的宽阔空间加以分析。在世界文明史上,中国文化曾经直接影响了欧洲近代文化的形成,说明中国传统文化有着与现代生活内在统一的特质。这个特质就是在世界文明范围内,中华文化是最早从宗教形态转型为世俗形态的文化,从而系统回答了人离开神后如何安放自己的灵魂等一系列重大问题。同时,中华文化的世俗性特质也使其具有极大的包容性,正是这种包容性赋予了中华文化持久的生命力。

The argument on the value of Chinese traditional culture is not a simple investigation of the Chinese culture itself,but the analysis of the characteristics of Chinese culture in the broad scope of world civilization.From the perspective of world civilization, Chinese culture has directly influenced the formation of modern European culture, indicating that Chinese traditional culture has the inherent characteristics of unity with modern life. This trait is that in the context of world civilization,Chinese culture is the earliest to realize the transformation from religion form to secular form of culture, which systematically answers a series of major issues such as how to place one＇s own soul after people leave God. At the same time,the secular nature of Chinese culture also makes it extremely inclusive. It is this inclusiveness that has given the Chinese culture a lasting vitality.
