- Abstract:
- During two thousand years development of Chinese civilization, four traditions have been gradually formed: natural consciousness, peopleoriented consciousness, suffering consciousness, and globalism. Natural consciousness refers to the harmonious coexistence of human and the natureare an organic whole; peopleoriented consciousness refers to the emphasis of survival and development of human, in which peopleoriented consciousness is the foundation of regime legitimacy; suffering consciousness refers to the ultimate concern of human fate and individual consciousness of taking the responsibility of educating people and heal the world; globalism refers to break the boundaries of religion and nation, announce principle of ideology and culture to the whole world, and take the responsibility of creating a universal peace and order and improving the civilization of mankind. As these four traditions embodied distinct Chinese characteristics, they can become the philosophical foundation and cultural support in the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which will probably continue to play an active role in Chinas modernization. Moreover, these four traditions themselves will also be transformed in the development of economy, society and culture, which is helpful to the construction of discourse system in contemporary China and the formation of Chinese spirit and Chinese power. It will make great contribution to the construction of contemporary Chinese values.
