由《易》而出的"中"道价值观

中国传统哲学的“中”道价值观源于《周易》的贵中说。《周易》以卦爻位是否居中推衍人事,在中则吉,离中则凶。儒道两家传承了《周易》的贵“中”思想,并从不同的方面,以不同的形式丰富和发展之。儒家积极崇尚“中庸”,形成了不偏不倚、执两用中的价值观;道家积极倡导“自然”、“无为”,形成了返本复初、回归“自然”的守“中”价值观。儒道互补使中华民族独特的“中”道价值观更加完善,对中华民族和谐思想的形成产生了至关重要的影响。

The Doctrine of the Mean as Derived from the Book of Changes

The doctrine of the mean in traditional Chinese philosophy was derived from the Book of Changes(Yi),which advocates a balanced middle approach to life problems.when it regarded all good results were presented by the propitious mean position of Yao.The ideology was inherited and developed by both Confucianism and Taoism,but each in different ways.Confucianism upheld the practice of the doctrine of the mean and therefore developed a value of moderation between extremes.On the other hand,Taoism preached for going back to the original state of man,and valued retuning to nature and taking no action.Like the two sides of a coin,Confucianism and Taoism worked together to have perfected the unique value of the golden mean,which played the most important role in Chinese culture.
