“以文化人”的思想谱系与理论诠释

The Ideological Genealogy and Theoretical Interpretation of “Yi Wen Hua Ren”

“以文化人”是一个真正意义上的历史命题,源于古人对人性不完美以及对“文”的丰富性、复杂性的理解。从早期“事神致福”的宗法伦理,到“以教化治天下”的政治伦理,以及“发乎情止乎礼义”的情感伦理,“以文化人”凝聚了中国人传统的价值观与审美观,是古代社会保持整体精神风貌向上以及形成向善力量的价值源泉,也是中国历史上政教制度与文化建设的重要标识。

“Yi Wen Hua Ren” is a significant historical proposition,which originates from the ancient people’s understanding of the imperfection of human nature and the richness and complexity of “Wen”. Developed from the patriarchal ethics of “Shi Shen Zhi Fu” in the early period to the political ethics of governing the world with enlightenment and the emotional ethics of “Fa Hu Qing Zhi Hu Li Yi”,“Yi Wen Hua Ren” embodies the traditional values and aesthetics of the Chinese people. It is the source of value for the ancient society to maintain the positive overall spiritual outlook and to form the power of kindness,and it is also the vital sign of political and religious system and cultural construction in Chinese history.
