现代平民儒学的“接着讲”与“接着做”

“Creative Development”and“Creative Practice”of Modern Civilian Confucianism

构建现代平民儒学,弄清楚“接着讲”和“接着做”的内在关系,这是儒家在新时代的使命。“大一统”是儒学传统的重要组成部分。现代平民儒学的“接着讲”,就是重新诠释“大一统”,优化制度设计,消除权力运作与百姓日用之间的隔阂,构建社会共同体。现代平民儒学的“接着做”,就是确立现代平民的主体性,继承和弘扬“为政以德”的优良传统,激扬家国情怀,践行“以实则治”的政治理念,满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要。

It is the mission of confucianists in the new era to construct modern civilian Confucianism and make clear the internal relationship between“creative development”and“creative practice”.“Great unification”is an important part of Confucian tradition.The“creative development”of modern civilian Confucianism is precisely to reinterpret the“great unification”,optimize institutional design,and eliminate the estrangement between the operation of power and the daily life of people,so as to promote the construction of social community.The“creative practice”of modern civilian Confucianism is exactly to establish the subjectivity of modern civilian,inherit and advocate the excellent tradition of“governance based on virtue”,arouse the sense of responsibility toward one’s family and motherland,practice the political idea of“promoting governance effectiveness with practical spirit”,and meet the people’s evergrowing needs for a better life.
