中国文化内容课件
二、中国传统文化的研究范围
中国传统文化是指在氏族社会晚期、至少是 周秦以来到五四时期所形成和发展起来的,以 汉族为主体、包括其境内56个民族长期创造的 精神财富,即中华民族共同创造的华夏文化。 它以封建文化为主导,以儒学文化为主干。
第二节 中国传统文化的流变和分期
一、原始文化──传统文化的孕育期
第二节 儒家思想的第一次改造
──两汉经学神学化
一、董仲舒的神学思想和三纲五常伦理观
儒学由先秦百家争鸣的一家变为“独尊儒术”,
由民间学说变为官方意识,经过了董仲舒的改造。 他以奉天法古为旗号,先王之道为楷模,宣扬王权神授,建构 了天人感应为核心、阴阳五行为骨架的神学体系。他写《春秋 繁露》,为三纲五常的始作俑者。他以君为臣纲、父为子纲、 夫为妻纲,仁、义、礼、智、信等道德规范,作为建立法度、 化民成俗的根本,为封建专制提供了理论根据,为以儒为宗的 文化提供了蓝本。其理论以父子夫妻的家庭关系为依据,以封 建宗法制为基础,以君亲、忠孝为纽带,以移孝作忠为目的, 实现家族政治化和国家家族化。在义利上,他提倡“正其谊不 谋其利,明其道不计其功”,维护统治阶级的整体利益。在政 治上,他主张礼乐教化、德政为主、刑罚为辅。在思想文化上, 他主张罢黜百家,独尊儒术,完成了统一思想的最后一道工序。
三、荀子的隆礼重法和性恶论
荀子(荀况)将先秦儒学发展 到新阶段,不仅承认事物发展有客 观规律,而且强调主体能动作用。 这种对社会历史责任感的弘扬,是 中华民族刚健进取精神的反映。他 从“性本恶”出发,认为经过学习 和教化,“人皆可以为尧舜”。他 主张“隆礼重法”,强调礼在为人、 做事、治国方面的作用,礼是法的 根据,法的总纲;法是礼的体现, 礼的确认。只讲礼义,不讲法度; 只重教化,不重刑罚,不足以维护 x x 统治。

By the time of Xia Dynasty, after centuries of living side by side, these two tribes had gradually merged into(合并,融合)one. Consequently, the Chinese people usually call themselves “the descendants of Yan and Huang”.People at that time believed that the land they lived on was the center of the world, and called their state the "Middle Kingdom"(中国), thus giving China its country name.Traditional Chinese culture is recorded not only in history books and documents, but also in archeological records(考古记载), such as ancient city walls, palaces(宫殿), temples(寺庙), pagodas(宝塔), and grottos(洞窟); artifacts(史前古器物), such as bronze objects, weapons, bronze mirrors, coins, jade and pottery objects, and curios; and folk culture, including song and dance, embroidery(刺绣), cuisine(烹饪), clothing, tea ceremonies, drinking games, lanterns, riddles, martial arts(武术), chess and kites. With a continuous history of 5,000 years, it has undergone frequent transformations to produce a rich and vital cultural heritage.In the modern day, with the rise of western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization have gained adherents in China. Indeed, within today’s globalized environment, modern cultures interact and cooperate increasingly more with each other.

The porcelain china is the transliteration of the place name Changnan(昌南), which was the old name for Jingdezhen(景德镇). The porcelain made in Changnan was smooth and bright, and earned another name of artificial jade.
