“中国需要一场文艺复兴”是时下热门话题之一。有人提出,在全球化的今天,只有通过文艺复兴才能重建文化自信。与之向呼应的是社会上涌动的一股“读经”热,从易中天品三国到于丹读《论语》,部分民众展示了对古典文化近乎狂热的痴迷。这两股热潮多少反映出一些人对文艺复兴的误读,也反映出了我们一些人习惯于沿着旧车辙前进的保守性。 “China needs a Renaissance ” is one of the hot topics nowadays. It has been suggested that in today’s globalization, cultural confidence can only be rebuilt through the Renaissance. Echoing with it is a social “surging” heat. From the three kingdoms of Yi Zhong Tian Pin to Dan reading “The Analects of Confucius”, some of the people showed their almost fanatical obsession with classical culture. The upsurge of these two ups and downs reflects some people’s misreading of the Renaissance and the conservativeness that some of us are accustomed to advancing along the old track.
