在中华文明的漫长历史中,人们对幸福的追寻与思索始终流淌在中华民族的精神血脉里。先秦儒家对幸福有着深入思考,将“孝”至“仁”视为幸福之源,认为获得幸福的关键是以“仁”去约束人们自己的私欲。同时,先秦儒家将社会幸福视为真正的幸福。社会幸福不仅是每个人追求幸福的最终目的,更是整个社会所追求的共同目标。通过深入挖掘先秦儒家幸福观,对于人们正确定位个人幸福、积极营造家庭幸福、为社会幸福而奋斗,具有重要的当代价值。In the long history of Chinese civilization, people’s pursuit and contemplation of happiness have always flowed in the spiritual blood of the Chinese nation. The pre-Qin Confucians had deep thoughts about happiness, and regarded “filial piety” to “benevolence” as the source of happiness, and believed that the key to happiness is to restrain people’s own selfish desires with “benevolence”. At the same time, pre-Qin Confucians regarded social happiness as true happiness. Social happiness is not only the ultimate goal of each individual’s pursuit of happiness, but also the common goal pursued by the whole society. By digging deeper into the pre-Qin Confucian concept of happiness, it has an important contemporary value for people to correctly position their personal happiness, actively create family happiness, and strive for social happiness.
“仁义礼”观念是儒家思想的理论核心,也是中华优秀传统文化的重要组成部分。“仁”是“义”“礼”三者作为先秦儒家正义思想的理论根源、精神内核与外在标准,相辅相成,共同构筑起先秦儒家正义思想体系的基本框架。儒家正义思想对中华文化影响深远,它不仅对个人自我价值认同与身心发展起着重要作用,也对构筑中华文明精神空间,明确社会道德价值指向,引导国家与社会发展起着积极作用。The concepts of “benevolence, righteousness and propriety” are the theoretical core of Confucianism and an important part of China’s fine traditional culture. “Benevolence” is the theoretical origin, spiritual core and external standard of “righteousness” and “propriety” as the justice thought of the Pre-Qin Confucianism. They complement each other and jointly form the basic framework of the justice thought system of the Pre-Qin Confucianism. Confucian justice thought has a profound influence on Chinese culture. It not only plays an important role in the self-value recognition and physical and mental development of individuals, but also plays a positive role in constructing the spiritual space of Chinese civilization, clarifying the moral value orientation of society, and guiding the development of the country and society.
