以科学视野阐释中华传统文化

Scientific Interpretation of Traditional Chinese Culture

摘要: 自16~18世纪中华文化向西方传播至今，西方对中华文化的态度经历了仰视——鄙视——敌视的转变。面对日趋严峻的全球性危机，构建人类命运体正在成为世界各国的共识。其中，中华文化的优秀基因如“和而不同”、“己所不欲，勿施于人”、“天人合一”等正得到日益广泛的认可，成为构建人类命运共同体的重要基石。在当今科学技术占据绝对话语权的时代背景下，以全新视野阐释易经、儒、释、道的科学内涵具有特别重要的意义。首次采用级数概念表明易经属于2的等比级数，儒家属于斐波那比级数，道家属于自然级数，佛家属于收敛于0的无穷级数。对东西方文化的核心概念进行了图示比较，将英语构词法和汉字六书相结合，提出了“天”、“道”、“仁”等中华文化核心名词的科学翻译。

Abstract: Since the propagation of Chinese Culture to the West from 16~18 century, the attitude of western world toward China has undergone a change from admiration to contempt and now hostility. Facing at increasingly global crisis, it becomes the consensus of all countries in the world to construct human fortune community. During this process, excellent culture genes in traditional Chinese culture are gaining extensive recognition, such as ‘harmony in difference’, ‘don’t impose what you do not desire to others’, ‘unity of human beings and nature’ etc. Nowadays science and technology occupy a dominate discourse, thus the scientific interpretations of the Book of Change, Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism are of particular importance. It is for the first time to point out that the Book of Change is a geometric series of 2, Confucianism is a Fibonacci series, Daoism belongs to a natural series, and Buddhism is a harmonic series. Combination of English word formation with Chinese Hexateuch can suggest more scientific translation of core terms in Chinese culture, examples are given for Tian (天), Dao (道), Ren (仁) and so on.
