On the Modern Value of Rite and Morality
摘要
中国几千年来一向以礼义之邦著称于世。以往
人们多将仁义看作是孔孟之道的核心
因而比较重视仁义
忽略了礼义。仁义与礼义都是儒家倡导的道德理念
二者的内涵有差异
作用也有区别
但是
二者的价值和意义却不分上下。重塑"礼义之邦"的国家形象
是当今每一位中国人义不容辞的责任。责任在身
我们必须充分认识礼义的价值。礼义虽然是两千多年前提出的道德范畴
而且
在道德教化和道德建设方面
仁义比礼义更受重视;可是
在"礼义之邦"的国家形象的塑造方面
礼义又比仁义更为适宜。
Abstract
China has been known for rite and morality for thousands of years.Chinese people used to focus more eyesight on benevolence
which is the chore of doctrine of Confucius and Mencius
than rite and morality.Nevertheless
both rite and benevolence were advocated in Confucianism
which embody different connotation and function despite the equal significance in value and meaning.Every Chinese has the responsibility to reshape the image of rite and morality.To fully fulfill the job
we Chinese should completely understand the value of rite and morality.In the sides of moral education and construction
benevolence seems to be more valued than rite.However
in the process of reshaping the image
rite and morality play a much more appropriate role.
