论孔子对“士精神”的塑造与践行

On Confucius’s Shaping and Practice of the“spirit of morality”

兴起于春秋时期的士阶层距今已有两千五百多年的历史,其能延续至今正是归因于士人所特有的高尚的“士精神”。孔子对“士精神”的塑造起着举足轻重的作用,主要赋予了其承道精神、敬畏意识、忧患意识和担当精神,并以实际行动从理想追求、学识修养和政治实践三方面践行“士精神”。孔子关于“士精神”的论述与践行不仅对古代知识分子君子人格的形成影响深远,而且对当下社会主义核心价值观的培育与践行,亦具有重要的借鉴和启迪意义。

As an ancient Chinese intellectual class,the“scholars”have a history of more than 2,500 years since their rise,and their continuation to this day is precisely due to the noble“spirit of scholars”unique to the scholars.Confucius played a pivotal role in shaping the“spirit of morality”,mainly endowing it with a sense of commitment,awe,distress and responsibility,and practiced the“spirit of morality”from three aspects:ideal pursuit,academic accomplishment and political practice.Confucius’s exposition and practice of the“spirit of scholars”not only had a far-reaching impact on the formation of the personality of ancient intellectuals,but also had important reference and enlightenment significance for the cultivation and practice of the core values of socialism today.
