韩国尊崇儒学探析

A Probe into the Veneration of Confucianism in South Korea

韩国在东亚儒教文化圈中堪称是最忠实于儒家文化的国家。中国儒学传到韩国以后,在与韩国本土文化的融合过程中,发生了许多变化,形成了具有自身特色的韩国儒学。韩国已经成为世界上公认的"儒学样板国家",践行儒家文化最好的国度。韩国对儒学的尊崇主要表现在三个方面:1.韩国在李氏朝鲜王朝时期定儒教为国教;2.韩国是个尊孔的国家;3.韩国有全世界唯一的儒教大学——成均馆大学。

In the East Asian Confucian cultural circle, South Korea is a country that is most loyal to Confucian culture. Since the entry of Chinese Confucianism into South Korea, many changes have taken place in the process of Chinese Confucian integration with Korean native culture,and they contribute to the formation of Korean Confucianism with its own characteristics. Korea has become a recognized "model country of Confucianism" in the world, and the best country that practices Confucian culture. South Korea’ s filial piety for Confucianism is mainly manifested in three aspects. First, Confucianism was established as the state religion in South Korea during the Lee Dynasty. A second one is that South Korea is a country that respects Confucius. Finally, the only university of Confucianism in the world,namely Sungkyunkwan University,is located in Korea.
