春秋到战国变革的“现代性”释义

Interpretation of the"Modernity"of Transformation from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period

春秋到战国的转向是中国传统历史和文化发展的重要分水岭,周代体系崩溃后过渡为王权制国家,在大历史框架下可看作是从古典性转向“现代性”。春秋到战国的变革决定了其后中国传统历史发展的基本轨迹,战国以后的中国传统社会在哲学文化层面上其实质就是一个“现代社会”,世俗主义、物质主义和个体主义崛起,这种“现代性”的文化意义对当下有重要的借鉴和实践意义。

The transition from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period was an important watershed in the development of traditional Chinese history and culture.The transition from the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system to a monarchy state after the collapse of the feudal system can be seen as a shift from classicism to"modernity"under the framework of the big history.The changes from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period determined the basic trajectory of the subsequent development of traditional Chinese history.The Chinese traditional society after the Warring States Period was essentially a"modern society"at the philosophical and cultural level,with the rise of secularism,materialism and individualism.The cultural significance of"modernity"has important reference and practical significance for the present.
