古籍英译:炎帝文化的传播价值

C-E Translation in Ancient Books of Propagating Value of Emperor Yan Di Culture

中国梦的实现、中华民族伟大复兴离不开文化自信,文化自信离不开文化自觉,文化自觉离不开文化寻根。炎帝是中华民族人文初祖,炎帝文化是中华优秀传统文化始源,是中华之根之魂,研究炎帝文化,即是在寻根溯源铸魂。炎帝亦指神农(神农氏),是新石器时代(公元前5000年—公元前3000年)有名的部落首领,因杰出的社会贡献被尊为帝王和农神。炎帝文化应为多代神农氏族部落头领与族民所创造的文明业绩,神农氏经历漫长的发展岁月亦是累积煌煌炎帝文化功绩的历史,其当代价值具有极大的传播意义。以古籍、考古与学术文献为据,从炎帝文化的物质、制度、精神文明传播价值探源,恰如赤帝烈焰,点亮炎黄子孙的文化自信,照亮华夏胄裔文化传播与承续的道路,启明世界大同的理想信念。
