《周易》对传统孝道文化的影响

孝道是中国传统专制文化的现实与历史基础,孝是忠的前提,忠是孝的延伸。而《周易》则建构了孝道的理论基础,《易传》彻底改造了《易经》中的先天平等思想,由所谓"先天不平等"(天尊地卑)的虚构逻辑前提出发,推演出"君尊臣卑"、"父尊子卑"、"夫尊妇卑"的理论主张。后代的统治者与御用文人,在理论上把这种专制性的孝道观加以细化,在实践中加以制度化、法律化、典范化,导致了奴性化、反科学性、反人性的严重后果。只有彻底抛弃专制基础,对传统孝道观加以扬弃,才能真正古为今用。

The Influence of The book of Changes on Traditional Filial Piety

Filial piety is the historical and realistic basis of traditional Chinese autocratic culture, with filial piety as the prerequisite of loyalty, and loyalty as the extension of filial piety. While The Book Of Change has constructed the theoretical basis of filial piety, Commentaries On Book Of Changes has thoroughly transformed the doctrine of born equality of the former, and, starting from the virtual doctrine of "born inequality"(heaven is superior to the earth), it has deducted the arguments of "the emperor being superior to the officials", "the parent, to the children", and "the husband, to the wife". And the yet-to-come rulers and scholars in the service of the emperor have theoretically institutionalized, legalized and modelized the autocratic filial piety, thus bringing about those grave consequences as slavishness, anti-science and anti-humanity. Therefore, in oreder to make the past serve the present, the autocratic basis and the doctrine of traditional filial piety must be decarded.
