人类文化史亦即文化传播与交流的历史。在全球化的背景下,文化传播与交流的历程虽有和谐融合的篇章,但更多的则是冲突和矛盾的展开。如何从文化史的角度厘清上述问题的来龙去脉,并在现实的语境中探讨中国文化发展的诸多问题,《文化发展论丛》编辑部再次访谈了武汉大学人文社会科学资深教授、武汉大学中国传统文化研究中心主任冯天瑜先生。冯先生认为,从人类文化史的角度看,一个民族、一个国度文化的进步离不开同外部文化的交流。没有交流的文化系统是没有生命力的静态系统,断绝与外来文化信息交流的民族不可能是朝气蓬勃的民族;从全球化的进程看,现代中国不仅要“拿来”西方文化,还要向外部世界提供我们的文化创造,以实现双向对流。而异文化间的“请进来”与“走出去”,达成健康的“互动”,正是文化“一”与“多”辩证统一的进路,也是中国文化的发展方向。
The cultural history of human beings is the history of cultural spread and communication. In the context of globalization,although the process of cultural spread and communication has harmonious elements,there still exists more conflicts. In order to clarify the cause and effects of those conflicts from the perspective of cultural history,and to discuss the relevant issues in China's cultural development in the realistic context,The Editorial Department of “Culture Development Review” has taken another interview with Professor Feng Tianyu,Senior Professor of Humanity and Social Sciences in Wuhan University and Head of Research Center of Traditional Chinese Cultural Studies in Wuhan University. Prof. Feng Tianyu believes that the progress of a nation and a country needs the communication with the external culture from the perspective of human beings' cultural history. The cultural system without communication is a static system without vitality,so a nation without communicating with the external culture cannot be vigorous. Based on the process of globalization,modern China not only needs to take advantage of western culture,but also should offer our cultural innovations to the world so as to realize two-way communication. Only learning from other cultures and promoting our own culture can it realize the healthy interaction,which is the appropriate way for incorporating things of diverse culture as well as the development direction of Chinese culture.
