中国文化的“两创”

Transforming and Boosting Traditional Chinese Culture in a Creative Way

习近平总书记在2014年9月的《在纪念孔子诞辰2565周年国际学术研讨会暨国际儒学联合会第五届会员大会开幕会上的讲话》提出“努力实现传统文化的创造性转化、创新性发展”,之后也多次重申,“两创”已正式写入党的十九大报告等重要文件中。2021年5月,习近平总书记在给《文史哲》编辑部全体编辑人员的回信中,再提出“需要广大哲学社会科学工作者共同努力,在新的时代条件下推动中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展”。“两创”是新时代传承弘扬中华优秀传统文化的根本方针。应如何正确理解“两创”的时代价值和意义,如何回答传统文化“两创”的时代之问,如何把儒学的优秀思想和精神传承好、发扬好?为此,本刊于2021年第3期始设“‘两创’研究”专栏,专门就传统文化“创造性转化、创新性发展”等相关论题进行讨论。本期我们特邀三位知名学者进行研讨,以把握新时代传统文化的“两创”的方向。本刊以此形成笔谈刊登,以飨读者。

In his “Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the International Conference Commemorating the 2565 th Anniversary of Confucius’ s Birth and the Fifth Congress of the International Confucian Association” in September 2014, President Xi Jinping proposed to “promote the creative evolution and development of fine traditional Chinese culture,” and has reiterated the proposal several times since then. The “Two Creatives” were also officially included in the political report of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and other major documents. In May 2021 when Xi wrote back to the entire editorial staff of the Journal of Literature, History and Philosophy, he put forward that “philosophers and social scientists should work together to promote the creative evolution and development of fine traditional Chinese culture in the current context.” The “Two Creatives” policy is fundamental for the preservation and development of traditional Chinese culture in the new era. Then how should the Chinese people understand the relevance of the “Two Creatives” to contemporary China? How should they answer the question of our times on how to treat traditional Chinese culture? How should they integrate Marxism with Chinese cultural traditions? And how should they draw upon and carry forward the ideas and guiding principles of Confucianism? To this end, Confucian Academy launched a column on the “Two Creatives” in this new issue. We solicited contributions from three well-known scholars on the orientation of “Two Creatives” in the new era. For the benefit of our readers, we are now pleased to publish their discussions in writing.
