In the development of thousands of years in China Confucianism became the Chinese traditional culture representative. It has influenced the world for about 2000 years. Born in Qufu in Shandong Province during the Spring and Autumn Period Confucius founded the Confucianism. With the deep thought and great character he became a famous thinker and educator. His words and life stories were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects which influenced many thinkers writers and politicians in the over-2000-year-long history as an enduring of Chinese culture. So why could Confucian thought in 21st century still retains the interest of people all over the world? I think that there are three thoughts making sense as follows. The first thought is about the relationship of Heaven and human beings. Confucius was the first person who regarded “heaven” as nature and this was an innovative idea in his time. He required people to hold Heaven in awe. Under the influence of Confucius the ancient Chinese took to heart the purpose of Heaven by cherishing life. In the 21st century the opinion “standing in awe of the ordinances of Heaven” still holds true so we should indeed listen to the voice of nature as we develop our economy and build a harmonious world. The second thought is about Humanity which includes two core concepts: Ren and Li. Ren is to love people especially parents. Today the Confucian doctrine of “Do not do toward others anything you would not want to be done to you” still holds true for humankind. Li refers to rituals traditions and norms in social life. He placed emphasis on Li with the aim of preserving social order stability and harmony. In the 21st century people also emphasize the importance of the love and the social manners or rules. So many of the Confucian can give us a guide how to love others and behave ourselves. The third thought is about the education. Confucius was the first figure in Chinese history to initiate private education so someone who wasn’t nobility could have a chance to be educated. He proposed the comprehensive education such as ritual music archery driving calligraphy and mathematics to train comprehensive talents. He also believed the basic goal of education was to cultivate “persons of virtue”. In the 21st century we also need the comprehensive talents to make contribution to our world. With the idea of equality most of kids today can be educated equally. In conclusion many theories of Confucius have made great influence on the people’s values and modern society. We should take advantages of Confucius’ thought and make a harmonious world to live. As for our Chinese Inheriting Chinese culture classics should be done generation to generation.
【参考译文】
在中国几千年的发展，儒家思想成为中国传统文化的代表。它影响了世界大约2000年。孔子出生于春秋战国时期的曲阜，孔子创立了儒学。他以深刻的思想和伟大的品格成为著名的思想家和教育家。他的话和生活的故事由他的门徒和他们在论语学生记录，这影响了许多思想家、作家和政治家在长达2000年的`历史作为一种持久的中国文化。那么，为什么第二十一世纪的儒家思想仍然保留着世界各国人民的利益呢?我认为有以下三点想法。第一个思想是关于人与人的关系。孔子是第一个把“天”视为自然的人，这是他当时的一个创新思想。他要求人们敬畏地拥抱天堂。在孔子的影响下，古代中国人以珍爱生命为心，达到了天道的目的。在第二十一世纪，“敬畏天道”的观点仍然是正确的，因此，在发展经济、构建和谐世界的过程中，我们应该倾听自然之声。第二种思想是关于人性的，包括两个核心概念：仁和李。仁是爱人尤其是父母。今天，儒家学说“不向别人做任何你不想做的事”，仍然适用于人类。李指的是社会生活中的仪式、传统和规范。他强调李是为了维护社会秩序、稳定和谐。在第二十一世纪，人们也强调爱和社会礼仪或规则的重要性。这么多的儒家可以给我们一个指导如何爱别人和表现自己。第三个思想是关于教育。孔子是中国历史上第一个倡导私人教育的人物，所以没有贵族的人有机会接受教育。他提出了礼仪、音乐、射箭、驾驶、书法、数学等综合教育，培养综合型人才。他还认为教育的基本目标是培养“德性人”。在第二十一世纪，我们还需要综合人才为我们的世界做出贡献。有了平等的理念，今天的大多数孩子都能平等地接受教育。总之，孔子的许多学说对人们的价值观和现代社会产生了巨大的影响。我们要充分利用孔子的思想，建设和谐的世界。对于中国人来说，传承中国文化经典应该世代相传。
