?德?与?美?,是中国哲学中两个最重要的概念,也是中国思想与文化中两个最重要的概念。?真??善??美?,是中国人人生追求的最大价值与最高理想。而讲究?德?与?美?,是实现这个崇高目标和追求所不可或缺的两个重要环节。毫无疑问,我们对?德?与?美?可以从多角度进行传承与弘扬以及诠释与发展。其中,一个很重要的方面,即中国很早就广泛地将?美?与?德?联用,称之为?美德?,即美好的品德。孔子论?从政?条件时所说的?尊五美,屏四恶?,即要推崇五种美德,排除四种恶行。中国以拥有历史悠久的?中华美德?而闻名于世。以?大道和生学?视阈观照?中华美德?中的?德?与?和?之内在联系,可以看到:《周礼》把?和?明确列为?六德?之一;董仲舒说,?夫德莫大于和?;?和实生物?,和也可生德,和可以补充德,使德更完美;?和和美美?,乃中国民间爱说的一句吉言,等。
