新时代中华传统孝道思想的重估与传承

Re-evaluation and Inheritance of Traditional Chinese Filial Piety Thought in the New Era

孝道思想是中华传统美德的重要内容,在新时代需要对它进行重估和传承。传统孝道思想以血缘亲亲为基础,以家庭伦理为载体,具有超越性和形上性,是中国人安身立命之道,也是中国人特有的一种精神信仰。从汉代开始,孝道思想在古代政治生活中受到高度重视,在规范社会伦理、维护社会秩序、促进社会和谐稳定中发挥了很大作用。在历史上,孝道思想影响深广,对道教、佛教和少数民族产生了重要影响,并随着华人对外流动而传播到世界各地。后来,孝道思想曾在历史上逐渐异化,出现了愚孝愚忠现象,成为维护封建统治秩序的工具,这需要反思批判,但不能矫枉过正,走向另一个极端。孝道具有超越时空的普世价值,是确保家庭和睦的情感基础和基本道德准则,让孝道成为家风家教,实现传统孝道思想在新时代的传承发展,是弘扬中华优秀传统文化的应用之义。
