The history of human beings with symbols is very long,But the birth and development of symbols rarely explore。Reading "Early Chinese symbolic ideas and ethics turning" (Zhu Dong,Shanghai People's Publishing House, February Edition 2023) In the process of a book),I can't help but think of Nietzsche’s "The Birth of Tragedy"、Foucault's "Training and Punishment" and other masterpieces。The book is in theoretical explanation,The flavor of Nietzsche's sources of the spirit of the Greek wine god of tragedy; in academic methods,But close to Foucault's thorough and full -time archaeological work with academic taste and innovation。The author for symbolics,Especially the difficult exploration of ancient Chinese symbolic ideas and archeological types gradually entered a good realm。

The book attempts to solve many mysteries of the ancient Chinese symbol world,Sinicization of symbolism。The "ethical steering" in the title of the book is already clear,It is committed to the birth of this land in China、Inherent symbolic thought,Bleeding with modern symbolics theory、Explasize each other。This is easy to say,It's really difficult to do it。There are many quotations of symbolist John Dili discourse,The first chapter of the Bet365 app download "Basis of Symbolology": "All human experience is an interpretation structure with symbols as medium and support。"" "Fanlian Cultural State,The world and meaning that the symbols mean。

Today's symbolic theory and concepts are just interpretations of the development law of human symbols。The symbol of the entire ancient world does not have an exclusive symbol noun and judgment,Their symbolism and referring to a mystery。Just like Dili commented on the ancient Western world "regardless of Greek philosophy,It is still the Roman era that has been ruled by it,None of the things corresponding to the concept of 'symbol',We think it is self -explanatory today "。

Collect and sort out the traditional Chinese symbolic ideas,It is the first step of excavation。The author's "Research on Pre -Qin symbols" (2014 edition of Sichuan University Press) can be described as a representative,and this book can be described as "more up to a floor"。The former answered "What" more,The book is the source of the source "why",Why do this? That is, the face of the "self" of the early Chinese symbol world,That is to say "its special role (indicator process)" how to become a "complete theme or an object of a symbolic exploration"? What is the trajectory of these symbolic systems?,Yin Shang and the previous Wu Zhu culture is deified of nature。Natural things as symbols,conveyed the deity; and the ritual and music cultural system Bet365 lotto review of the Western Zhou Dynasty,is the morality of nature; the morality of nature,Carrying with Confucian ethics and morality。From this,The purpose written by the author not only stays on the cleanup of the early symbolic thoughts of Huaxia,but aimed at tracing the source、Terminal Qingyuan,Discover and try to solve the mystery of the origin of Chinese symbolic thoughts。Symbol archeology of chapter 5 of the origin of music,It's like a huge suspense,Always hanging the appetite of the reader,No general academic work of the dull and boring sensation。

Chinese ethics symbolics is full of cultural self -confidence 

The book is discussed in some definition and judgment of Chinese traditional symbolic ideas and modern western symbolics。The author strives to achieve what he said in the introduction: "Efforts to avoid using symbolics as the theoretical framework to set Chinese historical documents,Or use Chinese literature classics and ideological materials to make a footnote for Western symbolic theory,This is tantamount to cutting the foot to perform,Not only do you have to lose money,The actual situation of the generation and spread of traditional Chinese symbolic ideas can not be seen。”

Symbolology research can not be indulged in classical literature without being able to extricate,It can not be confused by contemporary symbols theory。The book compares and explains the ideas of Chinese and Western symbolic ideas in combination with Chinese cultural characteristics,There bet365 best casino games is no far -fetched meeting for reading。If the principle of differences in combination with symbolics,On the "Heals Bio,Symbols of the symbol of the same "symbol of the same time,"He" is the harmony between things under the premise of recognizing differences,Differentness is the key factor that forms the meaning world。Because there are differences,Everything can be endless,Social can continuously improve development,If you are in one,Things will be difficult to follow,Human society will also stagnate because of lack of necessary symbolic power。Single tone、Can't construct a colorful meaning world,Only maintain differences,can better promote the development and prosperity of all things。

Jiao Ran talked about "exchanges" in "Poetry": "When you get the realm,Must be difficult to danger,Seeing strange phrases; look at its aura after becoming a chapter,I have a leisure。"China has no inherent symbolic theory and discourse,Gather the discussion of various classics and contemporary scholars in various classics literature,It can be seen that there is indeed a long and long symbolic idea in the Chinese civilization,It is not the author's fiction and imagination。It not only has a wealth of handed down literature and an unearthed literature, which can be performed with mutual evidence,and a large number of from folklore、Active living materials provided by anthropology,Also with bet365 live casino games image physical objects excavated by human archeology,These can all undergo deep symbol archeology。

The author puts some important things about the early symbolic ideas of China,Especially where the general readers feel difficult to understand,such as the mysterious "Zhou Yi"、Five Elements Thoughts, etc.,All in popular language are revealed。The two sets of symbolic systems of the "Elephant" of "The Elephant" of "Zhou Yi",、The fables of the language symbols that are based on the rhetoric are thought,It can be regarded as the objective and the hexagram symbol、Image drawing system constructed by hexagrams。Pointing in the book,The development of "Zhou Yi" has gone through a painting、Elephant、Development process,"Painting is a symbol reproduction body,Elephant is an object,and the resignation is the explanation item。The most critical point in the middle is the "Elephant" process completed in the object of the object ",Use "Xiang" to pass the meaning,The best embodiment of the symbol tube of the Chinese ancestors attaches importance to visual cognition,It reflects the "self -" fun of discussion。

The focus of the book seems to be in "ethical steering",Try to create a journey of exploration of traditional Chinese ethics symbolics。Chapter 6 "On Name",The author will name、real、The objects are based on the "relationship map of the ancient fame vision" and the "relationship Bet365 app download in the sign of the symbol science",I made a concise and clear expression。"Name" is the concept symbol,"Real" is the essence of abstract and common phase,"Things" is an objective object that is individual。The author not only uses self -use for symbolics theory,and deeply understand the great historical concept and early Chinese political culture。For the first chapter of the political reasons of Zhou Dynasty "Shangde", it is pointed out: "The‘ Zhou ’of Zhou Yi is related to the prosperity of the Zhou people,Zhou nationality won in the struggle with Yin Shang,Zhou people are in the process of demonstrating their own regime legitimacy,A major creation is to inject virtue in the legality of power,Form ‘Emperor’ s None Dear,Weide is supplemented with the concept of virtue with virtue ",This is exactly the deep background of Yixue's construction of traditional Chinese culture order。

This book is the author's feeling that it has been ignored for a long time in the field of ancient Chinese symbolic ideology research,A theoretical excavation of a lack of in -depth research is full of national cultural self -confidence。I believe that in the context of the development of the new literature and sciences, the interdisciplinary attempts of Chinese symbolic research,Research on Expansion Symbol Study Fighting Noodles、Understanding the laws and characteristics of Chinese ideology and culture has certain inspirational meaning。
