和谐社会的俭约之道

强调和谐是中国文化的特点之一,天和、人和是道儒两家都重视的。但就它们的逻辑排列而言,道儒两家却存在着根本的差异。儒家强调人和,依据社会的需要来营建社会的和谐,其具体操作就是依据血缘亲疏关系的"仁"来决定具体行为的内涵的方法,结果是对人自身和谐的忽视,造成社会与个人的分裂,和谐社会的建设也是投入多而结果少;道家则从公平的"不仁"切入,不偏于个人的欲望,不偏于人际关系中的自己,不偏于人是万物关系的一部分的定位,从个人到社会他人,从内在本性到外在要求,依归自然无为的轨道,不仅强调社会的和谐在个人的和谐,个人的和谐在内心的和谐,而且推重个人价值的实现只能在他者价值的实现中才能得到保证,这既为营建和谐社会提供了打牢基础的参考,也为和谐社会的具体实践揭示了俭约的路径。

Harmony is one of characteristic of the Chinese culture.Both Daoism and Buddhism pay great attention to nature harmony and human harmony.However,Daoism and Buddhism attach different importance to nature harmony and human harmony.Buddhism puts priority to human harmony and builds social harmony according to social requirements.It decides concrete behaviors according to kinship and causes the division between society and individual.As a result,much input will yield few achievements in harmonious society construction.Starting from fair unrenism,Daoism builds social harmony with a natural and wuwei way which put equal priority to individual and society,inner requirements and outer requirements.It emphasizes that social harmony comes from individual harmony and individual harmony comes from inner harmony of human being.It maintains that the realization of individual value depends on the realization of other’s value.It not only provides a solid foundation for the harmonious society construction,but also provides a frugality road for the concrete practice of harmonious society.
