比较视野下诸子文化的解读

春秋战国时代是中国文学一个很重要的发展期,先秦诸子确立了中国文化最重要的价值观,一些最富有现代意义的美好词汇,如：仁义、诚信、人道、爱、超越、求索、自强不息等等,都是他们留给后代的宝贵遗产。本文将先秦诸子的研究纳入比较文学的视野,借用“先知”这一概念来给老子、孔子、孟子、墨子、庄子以及屈原等文化伟人作价值定位,认为他们具有类似于宗教文化意义上的先知品格,即：诚实、洞察力、使命感和善意,而这些,恰恰是未来的中国文化建设所需要的品质。

The Understanding of Zhuzi's Culture in the View of Comparative Literature

The time of Chunqiu and Zhanguo dynasties is a very important developing period of Chinese culture.Zhuzi of pre-Qin period(the various schools of thoughts and their exponents)established the most important value outlook of Chinese culture, and some fine words full of modern meanings are the precious heritage from those scholars to the posterity, such as:"virtue","honesty","humanity","affection","surpass","seek knowledge"and "constantly strive to become stronger"and so on.However,some previous influential words of culture history and thought history somewhat tended to be labeled class, which greatly weakened and even dispelled the possible positive influences of these great scholars upon Chinese society, and consequently did harm to the thinking and culture construction of modern China.This article studies the Zhuzi culture in the view of comparative literature, and tries to use "prophet"to orientate the values of those great scholars, like Laozi, Kongzi, Mengzi, Mozi, Zhuangzi and Quyuan.The author believes that these great scholars had the characters of prophet which is similar to that of religious meaning,i.e.honest, insight, the sense of mission and good will.And all these are just the necessary fine characters to the future construction of Chinese culture.
