中国传统“孝文化”的内涵从最初的孝亲意识逐渐演化为社会伦理和政治伦理乃至化为国家的治国方略。在历史上曾发挥过塑造封建社会理想人格,维护了家庭和社会的稳定等积极作用,但同时也存在着一些非理性、非人性的因素。继承和发扬传统孝文化中的合理内核,对构建社会主义和谐社会仍然具有重要的现实价值。 The connotation of Chinese traditional culture of “filial piety” gradually evolved from initial filial piety to social ethics and political ethics and even into the state’s strategy of running the country. In history, it has played a positive role in shaping the ideal personality of feudal society and maintaining the stability of the family and society. However, there are also some irrational and inhuman factors. To inherit and carry forward the reasonable core in traditional filial piety culture still has important realistic value to the construction of a harmonious socialist society.
