 Enhance independent innovation capability and the limitations of the ancient spiritual beliefs
Tian Kejian Abstract
the spiritual world of ancient Chinese contingent extraordinary device Yuxuan Angzhuo, many scholars had given to fully discussed and affirmed. It is the ancient insight spiritual nourishment, but also today's intellectuals to join the technological innovation of the spiritual power. but comprehensive look into two issues should also see the spirit of the ancient Chinese belief in the inadequacy and limitations. The negative side is still worthy of attention today. ancient spirit lack of belief, above all, faith is too concerned about the pursuit of reality, and thus the lack of social behavior motivation to explore the objective truth; followed by the belief that life is too secular, and thus the lack of social behavior in the pursuit of transcendence; third, life skills and convictions are too smooth, Thus the lack of thought and action of independence. The three deficiencies, has hampered the development of science and technology in ancient China. to history as a mirror, can only see advantages and disadvantages, to know the rise and fall, and both into the day.
ancient China spiritual belief, there have been many scholars to explore the positive side, to give them a full explanation and recognition. into a major event in Chinese history who established the great cause, usually a noble spirit is forever in mind, so no matter how experienced, are Albatron ambition can not fall, stick to a large section of life. This is the endless support of the Chinese nation, weak undone strong decline and revival of the soul and backbone. [1] There is no doubt that respect for the spirit of ancient Chinese belief that the nation Successive know there was something disabilities, are consciously noble spirit of faith from our forefathers and to draw spiritual nourishment to strengthen our pursuit of the opportunity of bettering their own values and character. It is also building an innovative scientific and technological innovation we have today a powerful driving force of social .
However, we believe that the spirit of some scholars on the ancient belief in a gem of micro-flaw discussion of the problem is not able to attach importance to their lack of belief and limitations. belief in pursuit of the ideal and so are people's mental phenomena, mental phenomena The judges have to rely on the test of practice. We believe that the evaluation of a community spirit only by comparing the length of the phenomenon: compared with other groups to determine, in particular, caused by the spirit of the comparative effectiveness of social development to determine. in the past several hundred years, China's social development lagging behind the others, the Chinese contribution to world scientific and technological progress is not good. this one, the human factor can not be ignored. social development is the result of people's behavior, but human behavior is subject to their own spiritual beliefs dominated. In other words, the prevailing social conditions in ancient China and ancient life is closely related to the spirit of faith. to people as a mirror, you can see advantages and disadvantages; to the ancient as a mirror, one can know the rise and fall. Therefore, the spirit of faith can not discuss the ancients talk about the positive side, must also be fully aware of its negative side. so that it can carry forward the positive things, to make up negative things to overcome in order for us today in building an innovative society, providing a better environment for spiritual power.
discuss a kinds of mental phenomena, it is important to look after its role in people's behavior affected the progress of society, from this perspective, we believe that the spirit of the ancient Chinese belief in the inadequacies mainly in the pursuit of faith, life, faith and belief in the three life skills aspects.
Here we must note, this article will be mentioned the following main aspects of the ancient spiritual beliefs inadequate, this does not mean that their negation. many ancient people their own age, that they are living in environment, has made many contributions to our admiration, as and worry about, after the world music meaning and noble, both of them that we respect and admiration first and foremost the.
ancient Chinese belief in the inadequacy of the spirit of the first is the pursuit of faith is too attention to reality, and therefore their social behavior is more a lack of motivation to explore the objective truth.
The term reality, not only means that the calm, pragmatic, sensible, practical value and respect the fact that also means the lack of passion and imagination, affordable, utilitarian, pragmatic, accommodating actuality mm which includes the Chinese people and the human mind's many advantages shortcomings.
reality in China is a long historical tradition. If the Spring and Autumn is a great social time of change, but also rare in Chinese history, the boom of academic thought contending. factions standing in their respective positions thinkers on an unprecedented scale to start the great debate academic. and in that the development of original ideas in favor of the environment, Qin factions throughout the academic scholars of common themes and elements in addition to the rulers of service is almost a political doctrine, is doctrine of the survival of ordinary people. In particular the tendency of which is a very strong real service, with little of the universal truth of nature. Qin and Han dynasties established a centralized feudal autocratic system of government, academic culture is further dedicated to the political reality of service . the reality of this belief about the Chinese people from the fundamental denial of the metaphysical thoughts purely theoretical value. so not to Aristotelian practical for the purpose of the mystery by exploring the natural curiosity to explore ideas driven who rarely produced in ancient China.
contrast to Europe, and China's Warring States period of ancient Greece around the same time, a matter of social management, although in the academic study of political theory plays an important role, but not overshadowed everything, control everything . As Aristotle said, explore the philosophy of the Greeks thousands years of history are the basic tendency of such a culture did not happen. the history of the ancient Chinese knowledge is to are very pragmatic and realistic. The reality of the results, is > China's ancient spiritual pursuit that too much attention to reality, history, limiting the natural philosophy and science and technology development. to safeguard the rule of responsibility of the feudal era real authentic academic Confucianism, then the practical approach to natural philosophy and science technology is very neglected, or even very much contempt. This kind of national state of mind, which greatly affected the awareness of all the ancient Chinese science, the scientific spirit of the behavior of the formation and practice of science. For example, some of the achievements since the Qin and Han scientists and technical experts, mostly by ; Confucianism authentic construction of scientific theories are often not used as a starting point in reality. It is often based on an ultra-practical curiosity. such as Euclidean geometry, Newton's mechanics theorem of what at that time can not be economic and social benefits, Galileo Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment on social and political economy at that time no active role, Darwin, Copernicus was more purely a precisely constitutes the backbone of the future of science as a whole. In ancient China, the value of the pursuit of life value judgments limited the usefulness of social reality, this attitude so much of people's interest and motivation, limited to the ancient Chinese science and technology can not enter the theoretical level, and even the ancient Chinese could not produce the modern sense of science.
the spirit of the ancient Chinese belief that the negative aspects of re-place, life is too secular beliefs, and thus the lack of people's social behavior than of the more pursuit. ancient and modern secular ordinary people are inevitable. we call faith in secular life mainly reflects the tendency of the intellectuals on the behavior.
are too practical and utilitarian, so most of the ancient Chinese belief that life originated from secular life. people. success and fame do not take this as meaning those who are. In other words, acquiring knowledge is just a tool, people are really interested in learning as a means to improve their living conditions. so-called million snow bank has a great vision. so he really came of luck, when the official exams and Scholars, how cast yet, This is most clear to put the number of new house is his house. official regardless of size, always like him, not to waste it be considered official. belief in human life can imagine.
very clear secular trend, so that the ancient Chinese general lack of interest of a vested interest beyond the reality, the spirit of contempt for fame and fortune. Han Yu, a famous Tang Dynasty writer, philosopher , known as out things on their own purposes. In this way, Lu beetles, is a concrete contribution to the ancient practice of living at home, such as Suiren, Shen Nong, CJ, Youchaoshi, Yu, etc., or it is teaching people how to adapt to social life, Confucius, teaching people how to enjoy life, Lao, even boast Father chasing day, Jingwei, Yu Gong, Nu Sky and other myths, the hero, is very similar to everyday life.
the secular belief in life, the lack of a utopian spirit of the ancient Chinese nourishment. Moore Utopia The value of the goals and values and ideals, goals and values and ideals that value into the awareness of reality, and guide the behavior of a standard. as a subjective mental integrity, this idealism, and let people live in reality, they also inspired beyond the current secular people, and always to look towards the future and the Sublime. want to explore beyond the reality is bound to bring about behavior, exploratory behavior is the result of scientific and social progress.
utopian spirit of the ancient times in Europe is a consistent in . ancient times in many European elites believe that fame and sensual pleasure, although the conditions of happiness, but does not determine happiness. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle is one of the typical. Nietzsche once said, the ancient Greek philosophers were the first group of imperial style soul with the spirit of a hermit. The style and spirit of vulgarity, and guide a number of Western intellectuals of ancient life beyond the mundane, yet paying attention to a looming, it is difficult to grasp the marvelous The future of the world science. If the vision to expand some, we can say that in ancient times, belief in the West win the struggle for knowledge and truth, faith in India is seeking the eternal nature of the mysterious Holy of dedication, compared The Chinese belief is to survive, that is all the reality of things as the most real being, so too much emphasis on real-life experience.
the spirit of the ancient Chinese belief that the negative aspects of re-place, is the belief that life skills are too smooth, thinking and behavior and thus lack independence.
we have seen, until before the Opium War in China, virtually no people of ancient China, the political, economic, cultural and scientific institutions and to explore and challenge the status quo . China's feudal system of thousands of years, actually never have a doubt such a system is reasonable, lawful, reasonable suspicion, justice and the idea or theory. looking after the ancient Chinese always, always to the more ancient history According to thinking and behavior. miserable times in Chinese history of reform, but the patchwork of feudal autocracy. and in Europe, from Plato to Montesquieu, from Aristotle to Rousseau From Galileo to Darwin, many scholars of the country's political, economic, scientific and cultural institutions and the status quo, has been conducting a comprehensive restructuring of rivers and mountains with, even rebellious atmosphere of the forward-looking exploration. forward-looking restructuring of rivers and mountains of deviant rarely appear in Chinese history. This great contrast of Chinese and Western, in addition to the suppression of ancient Chinese authoritarian government outside the ancient Chinese belief in personal life skills too smooth, and thus the independence of the lack of a personality is also an important reasons.
Lin Yutang that digestive tract and other simple needs of life level. , desires and so is the source of human suffering and worry, found out the pursuit of the persistent fact of life is by material life, who finds relief to get this world, it is only out by material, to give up the pursuit, commitment and participation. from inner sense, that is, in addition to g ego, abandoning self. So I advocate The fundamental lack of ways to shake free VIP devoid of subjectivity is to give up struggle. so, life skills and convictions can not smooth, thoughts and actions can not fail to the lack of independence.
in reality, some walk in front of the Explorer Society The behavior is often not understood. They go beyond the social, walking in the front human. social and do not understand the people around them, and they are therefore treated as rebels, often have to endure from all aspects of the tremendous pressure and even persecution. regardless of social science or natural science exploration is true. the so-called Therefore, for progress and innovation, independence is essential; on the walk in front of the explorers society, the independence of the critical.
and sleek makes a difficult independence. feudal rulers, will do everything possible to seduction and the social elite force designed into the thinking of his own cage, as their docile slaves. community to impose pressure, acquisitiveness exudes temptation. If you do not have the internal support of a man on the ideological belief in the independence of the individual is difficult to fight against this comes from the economic, status, face, from the regime, the force of habit, family loved ones a full range of pressure, it is hard not chasing fame and fortune on the road in the splendor of the machine. That is, if there is no strong spiritual support, a person no matter how clever the brain learning how rich, he can only live at the mercy of the secular left to drift, making it difficult in the political, ideological, scientific and other innovations have independence. Chinese people has always been obedient known. obedient not a bad thing, but listen and lost the independence of thought, you are bound to nothing in innovation.
in the past thousands of years in ancient China, the weakness is the ultimate development of the people behind the spirit of An important reason. completely overcome these weaknesses do today? in building an innovative country today should also be overcome.
