中国人家庭观念的历史文化渊源

The Historical and Cultural Origins of the Chinese Concept of Family

在中国传统文化中,家庭观念与政治、社会结构有重要关系。在政治结构中,中国传统社会建立起“家国一体”的国家观念,家和国在结构上、伦理观念上存在一致性;在社会结构中,农业为主的生产方式导致了安土重迁的传统生活方式,而同时存在的中国传统人才选拔与任用制度导致了人员流动,离开家与家乡成为普遍现象。这样的历史文化渊源塑造了中国人“家国一体”和“思乡”的家庭观念。

In Chinese culture,the idea of family is closely related to the ancient political and social structure.In the political structure,traditional Chinese society establisheda national concept of Family-State Unity,with a structural and ethical consistency between family and state.In the social structure,the agriculture-based production led to a traditional lifestyle of settling down and relocating,while the existing Chinese traditional talent selection and use system led to population movement,and it became common for people to leave their homes and hometowns.Such historical and cultural origins have shaped our family concepts of“Family-State Unity”and“homesickness”.
