论传统文化中的“色养”思想及其现代价值

On the Thought of Caring for Parents with Kind and Pleasant Countenance in Traditional Culture and Its Modern Value

传统文化中的"色养"即是现代所谓的精神赡养,而"色难"是传统文化对"色养"问题总结的命题。"色养"之难在于内容实现之难、过程持续之难和评判标准之难三个维度。古人在探求"色养"问题时,提出以"婉容——顺颜色、察嗜好——养志"为"色养"内容格序,以敬、乐、忧、哀、严的情感贯注"色养"全过程,以"心孝"为评判"色养"的标准,很好地解决了"色难"问题。传统文化中的"色养"思想为弥合现代社会精神赡养观念的缺位、构建精神赡养理论体系以及指导精神赡养实践都具有重要价值。

Caring for parents with kind and pleasant countenance in traditional culture is the spiritual support in modern times,the summary of which is that it is difficult to realize.The difficulty lies in three dimensions:content realization,process continuity and evaluation criteria.Ancient people put forward mild countenance--submissive appearance,observation of hobby--cultivation of mind as the order of its contents,made the emotions of respect,joy,worry,sorrow,and strictness through the whole process,and regarded filial piety from the bottom of the heart as the standard of judging the problem,solving the problem successfully.The idea of caring for parents with kind and pleasant countenance in traditional culture is of great value in bridging the gap of the concept of spiritual support in modern society,constructing the theoretical system of spiritual support and guiding the practice of spiritual support.
