早期中国文明内生性演进的内在逻辑阐释

The Internal Logic Interpretation of the Endogenous Evolution of Early Chinese Civilization

中国文明的形成是内生性演进的结果,是内在逻辑与历史逻辑的统一。早期文明一体化演进具有其制度逻辑与文化逻辑。其中礼制使中原政体保持了政治制度上的先进性,是政体组织力和控制力的保证,是文明演进持续性动力的制度基础。早期文明演进中形成了以向心性、伦理性、道德性为特质的意识形态,这使中原文明体更容易实现政治聚合与文化融合,从而凝聚成为更大的文明体。在文明一体化进程中,中原文明的内核是以意识形态为核心的文化价值体系,无论是纵向的历时性演进,还是横向的空间扩张,这一文化内核具有一定的稳定性与连续性。它是以文化融合为整合多元政治力量的方式,以推行礼乐文教为文明扩张的方式,以道德文教为社会整合的主要原则。这一文明演进模式是中国早期文明保持连续性的重要原因。

The formation of Chinese civilization is the result of endogenous evolution and the unity of internal logic and historical logic.The evolution of early civilization integration has its system logic and cultural logic.The ritual system which makes the Central Plains regime maintain the progressiveness of the political system.It is the guarantee of the organizational and control power of the regime,and the institutional basis of the sustainable driving force of civilization evolution.In the evolution of early civilization,an ideology characterized by centricity,ethics and morality was formed,which made it easier for the civilization of the Central Plains to achieve political convergence and cultural integration,so as to condense into a larger civilization.In the process of civilization integration,the core of the civilization of the Central Plains is a cultural value system with ideology as the core.Whether the vertical diachronic evolution or the horizontal spatial expansion,this cultural core has a certain stability and continuity.It takes cultural integration as the way to integrate multiple political forces,the implementation of etiquette,music,culture and education as the way to expand civilization,and moral culture and education as the main principle of social integration.This pattern of civilization evolution is an important factor for the continuity of early Chinese civilization.
