东夷文化:早期儒家文化的重要来源

Dongyi Culture:An Important Source of Early Confucian Culture

东夷文化是由我国上古时期以我国东部地区为主创造的灿烂文化,早期的儒家文化与之有着密切的关联。一方面,东夷地区是崇尚仁爱、礼德的君子之国,孔子悲痛于当世礼制之沦丧,向往东夷保存下来的礼法等思想文化,还有儒家之“仁”深受东夷文化中“仁”的深刻影响。另一方面,东夷文化影响了殷商文化,殷商文化又影响了鲁国文化。与此同时,东夷文化与周朝文化的相互碰撞与融合,形成了新的齐文化。孔子也正因受鲁文化和齐文化的影响才创立了儒家学说。因此,东夷文化是早期儒家文化的重要来源之一。

The splendid Dongyi culture is mainly created by the people in the eastern regions of China in the pre-history period,with which the early Confucian culture has a close connection.For one thing,the Dongyi region is a noble nation advocating humanity and virtue.Confucius is sad about the ruined rite system of the time and longs for the ideology and culture about the law and discipline rite preserved by Dongyi.Besides,Confucian“benevolence”is greatly influenced by“benevolence”of Dongyi culture.For another,Dongyi culture influences Shang culture,which then affects Lu culture.At the same time,Dongyi culture collides and merges with Zhou culture,which forms new Qi culture.Influenced by Lu culture and Qi culture,Confucius creates Confucianism.Therefore,Dongyi culture is an important source of early Confucian culture.
