摘要
在中国传统文化中,最初的"礼"具有道德和法律的双重性质,从内在和外在两方面规范着社会生产和生活的秩序。随着社会的发展进步,"礼"的外在强制逐渐减弱而内在规范却日益增强和完善。提倡礼治的儒家通过以仁释礼,把礼从外在的规范约束解说成人心的内在要求,提升为生活的自觉理念,使人们依据礼义文化机制回归生命的意义世界,从而确立一种精神信仰。在这种伦理规范与心理欲求合而为一的内在精神信念支持下,使以公平、正义为核心价值理念的和谐社会的内在和谐得以实现。
In traditional Chinese culture, the original proprieties possessed a dual quality in both morality and law, which regulated social and living orders intrinsically and extrinsically. The development of social progress has witnessed their role in extrinsic enforcements gradually weakened and that in intrinsic regulations increasingly improved. Supported by the combined spiritual beliefs of ethic regulations and psychological desires, the intrinsic harmony of a harmonious society based on the concepts of value which are centered on fairness and justice thus gets realized.
