参考译文：
The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far
back and runs a long, long course. More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in
China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by
Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured
prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous
term” the masters’ hundred schools.” The traditional Chinese culture presents
many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and
democratic. For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love
in human relations, on the interest of the community, on seeking harmony without
uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all. Especially, patriotism as
embodied in the saying ”Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the
country”; the populist ideas that “people are the foundation of the country” and
that “people are the more important than the monarch”; the code of conduct of
“Treat others as you want to be treated”.And the traditional virtues taught from
generation to generation:endurance and hard working diligence and frugality in
household management,and respecting teachers and valuing education.All of which
have played a great role in binding and regulating the family,the country and
the society. |
