一个社会如果只是遵循他律制度是无法生存的。文化是一种世代积累形成的自律制度。在时间上,它是跨越时代的,所以它能够公平地对待每个时代的人；在空间上,它由多人在相当广的范围内互动形成,经常跨越国界,如伊斯兰教、佛教。因此,文化包含了人类长久有效的传统原则,既可成为一个社会的宪法原则,又可成为个人的行为规范。 A society can not survive if it just follows the rules of other disciplines. Culture is a self-discipline system formed by the accumulation of generations. In terms of time, it is time-honored so that it can treat people of every age fairly; it is spatially composed of people interacting in quite a wide range and often across national borders such as Islam and Buddhism. Therefore, culture contains the long-standing effective principle of mankind. It can not only become a social constitutional principle but also become an individual’s code of conduct.
