郑和的多元文化观及其形成

郑和是历史上最伟大的航海家,在世界航海史上做出了巨大贡献。郑和为什么能创造出惊天动地的伟绩呢?一个重要的原因是因为他具有多元文化观,并能在远航过程中充分发挥各种文化的优势。他尊儒、信伊、奉佛、崇道和重海。他的多元文化观分为三个层次:儒家文化观是其多元文化观的核心,是他忠君爱国、为国家和民族奋斗终身、献出宝贵生命的精神支柱。宗教文化观是其多元文化观的重要内容,是他圆满完成远航使命的重要保障。海洋文化观是其多元文化观的闪光点,是他超前思想的火花和为国人留下的宝贵财富。郑和多元文化观的形成是一个复杂的过程,各种文化观形成的原因不尽相同。但总的来说,它们与郑和的家庭出身、社会经历、远航使命及所处时代,都密切相关。
