中华文明的现代复兴:意义界定与合理进路

The Modern Revival of Chinese Civilization:Meaning Definition and Rational Approach

中华文明的复兴,可以在三个意义上加以界定:作为文明载体的中国的复兴,作为世界领先的文明体的复兴,作为现代文明构成部分的复兴。成为现代文明的组成部分是中华文明复兴的适当选择。以“现代”为鹄的,才足以健康而有力地引导中华文明复兴前行。为此,有必要在世界与国家的大小坐标中,准确理解中华文明复兴的含义。进而在“以西方为方法”和“以中国为方法”的两端之间,确立起“以世界为方法”理解中华文明复兴的理性进路。在此基础上,需要超越近代以降以审美眼光看待“现代”、总是追求理想化、乌托邦式的“现代”的心态,基于现实可行性谋划古今中西维度所约定的中国现代化进路,并以此实现中华文明的“现代”复兴,而非前现代或后现代式的“复兴”,并助力人类文明的健康发展。

The revival of Chinese civilization can be defined in three senses:the revival of China as a carrier of civilization,the revival of China as the world's leading civilization,and the revival of China as a component of modern civilization.Becoming an integral part of modern civilization is an appropriate choice for the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.Only those that aim at"modern"will be healthy and powerful enough to guide the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.Therefore,it is necessary to accurately understand the meaning of the revival of Chinese civilization in the coordinates of the world and the country.Then,between the two ends of"taking the West as the method"and"taking China as the method","taking the world as the method"is the rational approach to understand the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization.On this basis,it is necessary to go beyond the mentality of viewing"modern"from an aesthetic perspective and always pursuing an idealized and utopian"modern",and plan the path of Chinese-style modernization in ancient and modern dimensions based on realistic feasibility,so as to realize the"modern"revival of Chinese civilization,rather than the pre-modern or post-modern"revival",and help the healthy development of human civilization.
