| In the context of diversified values,the awakening of modern people’s self-consciousness makes people be able and willing to choose and identify with certain values from their own perspective.Diversified value choices expand people’s freedom of choice,which reflects the vitality and vitality of social history.However,when the value of private humanity and individuality expands and impacts the common value,or even turns it into individual action,it will break the common rules,impact the social order and damage the common interests.From this point of view,we need to find a way to prevent the expansion of private and individual value and the impact of common value.In China’s long-term historical development,ritual is one of the key points to play this function.As a kind of cultural gene,it is integrated into the social imagination of contemporary Chinese.Wang Chuanshan,who was at the time of the revolution of Ming and Qing Dynasties,felt the great chaos of the world order.In order to restore the order of the world,Chuanshan condensed his thinking about how to make the world order in the book of rites.On the basis of criticizing and summarizing the traditional Chinese ritual making thoughts,he proposed that the creation of ritual should conform to the internal and external principles,and advocated that ritual making should not only follow the natural way of heaven,but also take care of people’s heart,which can be regarded as the highest summary of the traditional Chinese ritual making thoughts.Chuanshan holds that only those who are in the extreme of internal and external transfer and who are in the process of quality and literature can be qualified to make rites and ensure the rationality and legitimacy of the rites.In the aspect of adult meaning,the creation of rites is shown as an internal value,which marks that people get rid of the living state of animals and move towards the state of courtesy and civilization;In the sense of home,the creation of ceremony shows that the family gives the people enough;In the sense of world order,the creation of ceremony is a kind of tool value.As far as the mechanism of making rites to make the world orderly is concerned,on the one hand,rites can govern the government,and the government with rites can be up and down;On the other hand,the rule of propriety can ease the tension between the expression of personal feelings and the requirements of public order.Wang Chuanshan’s new interpretation of Chinese traditional ritual making thought contains the value orientation of public practice,clarifies the internal mechanism for the modern transformation of ritual,has a certain degree of emancipation significance for the freedom of people,and also has important practical value for promoting the unity of contemporary society. |
