【摘要】：在将"信仰"与"宗教"混同的情况下,西方一些人很难了解中华文化中的信仰状况,甚至以为中国人没有信仰。实际上,在中国传统文化的主流中,看似"无"宗教,却是"有"信仰的。从《周易》开始,中国人就确立了以"天"为最高信仰,以人为关怀对象,追求"顺天应人"的人本主义信仰方式。这种信仰方式有其合理先进之处:它借多元宗教和非宗教的外壳,保持了"以人为本"的内核,有利于避免西方特别是欧洲历史上多次发生的那种流血的宗教冲突,给社会的发展多保留了一点难得的稳定和安宁。但也有不合理的一面:它对现实中很严肃的重大问题关注得不够认真、不够执著、不够彻底,甚至对于自己的信仰对象也缺少彻底的追究和一贯的把握,而是任其含混不定,随意改变;对于"信仰"这种心理和行为本身,它更少有正面的、开诚布公的自觉、反思、追问和交代,而是将其当作心照不宣的约定,满足于"运用之妙,在乎一心",停留于自发选择和盲目运用的水平。其结果便是,使人容易满足于眼前的、似是而非的所"得",而忽略在那些更大、更深远、更宝贵的东西的所"失"。在新的时代,人们既要深入理解它的特点,这是解开中华文化之谜的一把钥匙;又要充分挖掘它的资源,依据民主法治原则处理好信仰与宗教的关系,这是中国当代先进文化建设的一项重要任务。
[Abstract]:In the case of mixing "belief" with "religion", some people in the West find it difficult to understand the status of belief in Chinese culture, even thinking that Chinese people do not have faith. In fact, in the mainstream of Chinese traditional culture, it seems that there is no religion, but there is faith. Since the beginning of the Book of changes, the Chinese people have established the humanism belief of "heaven" as the highest belief, the object of human concern, and the pursuit of "following the sky and responding to man". This form of belief has its reasonable and advanced features: it retains the "people-oriented" core through the shell of pluralism and non-religion, and is conducive to avoiding the bloody religious conflicts that have occurred many times in the history of the West, especially in Europe. To the development of society more reserved a rare stability and tranquillity. But there is also an unreasonable aspect: it pays less attention to serious and important issues in reality, is not serious enough, not enough thorough, even for their own belief in the object of lack of thorough investigation and consistent grasp, but let it be vague. Change at will; it is less positive, open, conscious, reflective, questioning, and accountable about the psychology and behavior of "faith" itself, but as a tacit agreement, content with the "use of it," Care about one mind, stay in the level of spontaneous choice and blind use. The result is that it is easy to be satisfied with what is in sight, specious, and to ignore the "loss" of larger, more profound, more precious things. In the new era, people should not only deeply understand its characteristics, which is a key to unraveling the riddle of Chinese culture, but also fully tap its resources and properly handle the relationship between belief and religion according to the principles of democracy and the rule of law. This is China's contemporary advanced cultural construction an important task.
