论神圣长江与人的敬畏感

On the Sacredness of the Yangtze River and Human Reverence

敬畏自然是中华民族早熟的生态智慧的体现,在当下“长江病了”的危机中,对母亲河的敬畏成为重新调整人与自然关系及长江生态保护的关键一环。爬梳从古代天人合一的观念,到当代对长江敬畏之心的重新唤起,乃是探究长江文化美学精神的新理路。如何将古代生态智慧与当代科学理论相融合,如何在新时代激发人们普遍的对母亲河长江的敬畏感,便成为当前长江文化研究的题中之义。创新性提出母亲河长江的神圣性范畴,并借助古典儒家哲学资源深刻阐发其神圣性的文化内涵。在此基础上,将长江神圣性与敬畏感相关联,聚焦长江文化中人与环境的复杂情感关系,强调民族共同体对长江神圣性之敬畏乃是长江文化及其当代生态意识传承与塑造的关键所在。

Reverence for nature is a manifestation of the Chinese nation's precocious ecological wisdom.In the current crisis of the"sick Yangtze River",reverence for the mother river has become a key link in readjusting the relationship between humans and nature as well as protecting the Yangtze River's ecology.Tracing back from the ancient concept of the unity of heaven and humanity to the contemporary re-awakening of reverence for the Yangtze River provides a new perspective on exploring the aesthetic spirit of Yangtze River culture.How to integrate ancient ecological wisdom with contemporary scientific theories,and how to inspire a widespread sense of reverence for the mother river,the Yangtze River,among people in the new era,has become the crux of current research on Yangtze River culture.This paper innovatively proposes the sacred category of the Yangtze River and profoundly expounds its cultural connotation of sacredness with the aid of classical Confucian philosophical resources.On this basis,it associates the sacredness of the Yangtze River with reverence,focusing on the complex emotional relationship between humansand the environment in Yangtze River culture.It emphasizes that the ethnic community's reverence for the sacredness of the Yangtze River is key to inheriting and shaping of Yangtze River culture and its contemporary ecological awareness.
