交流互鉴与创新发展:中外文化交流历史脉络研究述评

Exchange,Mutual Learning,Innovation and Development:The History and Present Meaning of Chinese-western Cultural Communication

根据中外文化交流的历史发展脉络,学界对中外文化交流的研究可以分为中国古代与中国近现代两大部分。前者主要包括秦汉时期、魏晋南北朝时期、隋唐时期、五代宋元时期及明清时期五个时段;后者主要包括清末时期、"五四"时期及新中国成立之后三个时段。通过对学者们就中外文化交流进行研究的文献予以综述发现,中华文明的形成及其在各个时期的发展与繁荣,其动力源于各民族文化及不同文明之间的冲突、融合与交流、互鉴;突破近现代以来中外文化交流中二元对立叙事的思维模式,才有利于我们进一步开展中外文化交流工作;当前我们对中外文化交流应持积极主动的态度,在超越自我与他者的文化交流中实现综合创新。梳理中外文化交流研究的相关文献,其意义在于反观历史而着眼当下,为我们以中国话语讲好中国故事提供思想动力和方法支持,并通过传播中国优秀文化为"人类命运共同体"建设贡献中国智慧。民族性、中国方案的实效性、清算历史虚无主义、完善布局等,将是未来一段时期学界进行相关研究需重点关注的问题。

According to the historical development of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries,the academic research on cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries can be divided into two parts:ancient China and modern China.The former mainly includes five periods:Qin and Han Dynasty,Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,Sui and Tang Dynasty,Five Dynasties,Song and Yuan Dynasty and Ming and Qing Dynasty,while the latter includes three periods:the late Qing Dynasty,the May Fourth Movement and the founding of New China.Based on the literature review of scholars’studies on cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries,it is found that the formation of Chinese civilization and its development and prosperity in various periods are motivated by the conflicts,integration and exchanges among different cultures and civilizations.Only by breaking through the thinking mode of dualistic opposition narration in cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries since modern times can we further develop cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.At present,we should take an active attitude towards cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries and realize comprehensive innovation in cultural exchanges beyond ourselves and others.The significance of combing the relevant literature on cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries lies in looking back on history and focusing on the present,providing ideological impetus and methodological support for us to tell Chinese stories well in Chinese discourse,and contributing Chinese wisdom to the building of a community of shared future for humankind by disseminating excellent Chinese culture.Nationality,effectiveness of China’s plan,liquidation of historical nihilism,and improvement of layout will be the key issues for academic research in the future.
