法籍华人艺术家、哲学家熊秉明曾说:“书法是中国文化核心的核心”。而作者认为,中国文化核心的核心应该是儒家思想,书法只是其中的一种表现形式。文章以熊秉明提出的“书法是中国文化核心的核心”作为切入点,从文化结构的层次、哲学的角度,得出中国文化的核心是哲学,哲学的核心是儒家思想。 French Chinese artist and philosopher Xiong Bingming once said: “Calligraphy is the core of Chinese culture.” The author believes that the core of Chinese culture should be Confucianism, calligraphy is just one of the manifestations. Taking the “Calligraphy is the core of Chinese culture” put forward by Xiong Bingming as a starting point, the article draws the conclusion that the core of Chinese culture is philosophy from the perspective of cultural structure and philosophy, and the core of philosophy is Confucianism.
