中华文化圈与中华思想文化术语传播

Chinese Cultural Circle and the Translation and Communication of Key Concepts in Chinese Thought and Culture

2014年教育部等10部委开启旨在对外展现中国核心价值观的“中华思想文化术语传播工程”,迄今已整理发布1,100条术语。文化术语传播与指称术语的语言所处的文化系统有密切的关系,中华文化术语在中华文化圈不同层级具有不同的传播过程与特点。在汉语母语者的“内圈”,存在着文化术语古今中外多维的认知和传播问题;在以汉语为第二语言的少数民族地区的“外圈”,文化术语采用本族词还是借词,以及借词翻译方式是衡量语言文化融合度的指标;在海外华语社区、周边传统“汉字文化圈”国家,以及中文国际推广对象国等“扩展圈”,中华思想文化术语的有效传播,根本上有赖于承载和称说中华思想文化术语的中国语言的国际通用度和影响力的提升。
