“新国学”与民族文化传统中的民间价值谱系

New Sinology and the Genealogy of Folk Value in National Culture

中国的民族传统文化大致可以由三个价值谱系构成:庙堂文化、士大夫文化、民间文化。经晚清洋务运动的器物革命、戊戌变法及辛亥革命的政治革命、五四运动的思想革命,使以个体感性生命为价值本位的商业经济的社会模式,终于开始取代了以群体伦理为价值本位的农耕经济的社会模式。以个体感性生命为价值本位的民间价值谱系,最终则在五四时代,与从英美而来的以个体感性生命为价值本位的商业文明,做到了无缝对接。国势的强盛,呼唤着中华民族以新的文化姿态面对世界,弘扬优秀的民族文化传统的时代之声应运而生。但如何使古代的传统中国的价值资源,成为现代中国的价值性构成,"新国学"的提出,可谓是适逢其时。

Chinese traditional culture composes of three value systems: temple culture,literati culture,and folk culture. Political revolutions like Westernization Movement,the 1898 Reform Movement,and the 1911 Revolution,and ideological revolution like the May Fourth Movement replaced the community-oriented agrarian society with an individual-oriented society. During the May Fourth Period,the folk value integrated with commercial civilization coming from the west. The time needs Chinese people to show a new cultural gesture and to promote national culture. The idea of New Sinology can turn the cultural resource of ancient China into a component of value for modern China.
