我国传统养老的三个历史阶段:尊老、敬老、养老

Three Historical Phases of China's Traditional Elderly Care:Respecting the Old, Loving the Old, Caring for the Old

老年问题是人类社会无法避免的难题,在国家统一的价值观念和仁厚为本的伦理道德的历史道路上,中国传统养老历经思想教化感召、仁义约束责任和政策制度固化三个历史阶段,逐渐形成了具有现代中国式家庭—邻里—国家三位一体的尊老、敬老和养老的孝道精神。在这个历史路径中,中国传统养老文化在先秦百家思想基础上,融合儒释道的孝亲理念,伴随国家治理中央化路径发展,最终体现出国家干预的制度化倾向。而这过程与我国历史统一与分裂、政治危机与重构、财政分权与集权有着密不可分的联系。
