中华民族共同体与人类命运共同体哲理沉思——从费孝通先生“十六字箴言”说起

Philosophical Reflections on Community for the Chinese Nation and Community of Shared Future for Mankind On the"Sixteen Word Maxim"of Mr.Fei Xiaotong

Mr.Fei Xiaotong is not only the founder of anthropology and sociology in China but also a wise scholar well-versed in world civilization history.His sixteenword maxim,"Ge Mei Qi Mei,Mei Ren Zhi Mei,Mei Mei Yu Gong,Tian Xia Da Tong"(各美其美,美人之美,美美与共,天下大同;Everyformof beautyhas its uniqueness;It is precious to appreciate other forms of beauty with openness;If beauty represents itself with diversity and integrity,the world will be blessed with harmony and unity.),spoken when he was eighty,still provides profound intellectual enlightenment for our contemplation of the"Community for the Chinese Nation and Community of Shared Future for mankind".Truly understanding the logical premise of"beauty in sharing,a harmonious world"lies in deeply understanding the"wisdom of sharing"inherent in"each beauty has its own beauty"and the"wisdom of mutual learning"inherent in the""appreciation of other forms of beauty".Furthermore,it explores how Mr.Fei,in the final moments of his academic career,turned"unity in diversity"into a"Chinese-style expression of thought"and established the"sixteenword maxim"as the core idea of"harmony but not uniformity"in traditional Chinese culture.
