经过唐末五代乱世,人们深深意识到,思想道德生活建设与调和文化群体关系对于社会发展的重要作用。宋代以降,迎来了一个面向社会生活的新时代,教化具有了新的社会基础与特征。宋代社会教化的新特征主要包括:“右文”的政教基调与官学教化体系的建立,印本书籍的流通使社会教化传播重心下移,儒学宗教化与教化旨趣的文化转向等。在这些与时俱进、互为关联的新特征中,隐秘极深的儒学宗教化推动了社会教化旨趣的根本转向,并进而使教化深入日常生活世界。生活世界现象也表明,有未知就不会停止对真知的探索,同时有未知就需要精神的寄托,社会教化的宗教性既不可太浓也不可缺少,宋儒在这方面的探索经验,值得深入思考。
After the turmoil of the Five Dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty, people got to realize the importance of ideological education and the harmonious relationship among different cultural schools to the development of the society. The surrender of the Song Dynasty brought about a new epoch of social life which endowed the social edification with a new social foundation with some novel features. Those new features include the political and educational tone of the right element theory and the establishment of the official educational system, the descent of the edification focus caused by the printed books, the religionization of the Confucian and the cultural turning of the edification interests etc. Among these thriving and interactive new features, the stealthy religionizing of the Confucianism resulted in the cultural turning of social edification to the daily life, which shows that people need to seek for the truth if there is something unknown and the religious tinge should be no more and no less. Hence the exploration in this period is thought-provoking.
