杨朝明:以儒学之光照亮人心

Yang Chaoming:Lighting Up Minds with Confucianism

“孔子思想属于那个时代,又超越了那个时代。”在山东大学儒学高等研究院特聘教授杨朝明看来,以儒家思想为主体的中国传统文化,是此前数千年历史文化的高度凝结,它属于过去并映照着今天和未来。如果说传统文化是一条奔腾不息的河,杨朝明向着历史回溯,最终是为了奔向更广阔的未来。四十年如一日,他秉承着对传统文化的虔诚信仰和深深热爱,跋涉于学术研究的“高峰”与“平川”,在朝暮轮回中探寻儒学的真谛。作为儒学研究者、传播者、普及者,他总在思考的是,怎样才能让更多人真正理解孔子、儒家的深邃思想。

"Confucianism belongs to and transcends that era."In the view of Yang Chaoming,a distinguished professor at the Advanced Institute for Confucian Studies,Shandong University,the traditional Chinese culture dominated by Confucianism is the high-level condensation of the millennia-old history and culture before that era,belongs to the past,and reflects the present and the future.Over the past 40 years,with a pious belief and passion for traditional culture,Yang Chaoming has been trekking through the“peaks”and“plains”of academic research,and exploring the true meaning of Confucianism in the cycle of morning and evening.
