儒家婚礼在现代婚礼中的传承与变革

The Inheritance and Transformation of Con-fucian Weddings in Modern Weddings

摘要: 儒家思想作为中国传统文化的核心之一，其文化时至今日仍对我们的日常生活有着深远影响，而婚礼被儒家礼仪称为“万世之始”，其生动地体现了儒家思想对于“礼”的重视。通过梳理典籍了解儒家婚礼“六礼”，明晰婚礼在儒家礼仪中的重要地位，发现现代婚礼在对于儒家婚礼“六礼”传承之余，也有着改变。延续至今的现代婚礼与儒家婚礼的关系呈现一种“变与不变结合”的总体特点，在一些形式上得以继承，没有改变，只是对于其中具体内容有了变化。当前，西方婚礼文化致使婚礼逐渐缺乏中国传统文化内涵，文章希望提倡更多年轻人以婚礼传承和传播儒家文化，以求增强文化自信，为推动儒家婚礼创新与其复兴献力。

Abstract: As one of the cores of traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism still has a profound impact on our daily lives today. Weddings are called “the beginning of all ages” by Confucian etiquette, which viv-idly reflects the importance of “rituals” in Confucianism of attention. By combing through classics, we learned about the “six rites” of Confucian weddings, and clarified the important position of wed-dings in Confucian etiquette. We found that modern weddings have also undergone changes while inheriting the “six rites” of Confucian weddings. The relationship between modern weddings and Confucian weddings that continue to this day presents an overall characteristic of “a combination of change and immutability”, which has been inherited in some forms without changing, only the spe-cific content has changed. At present, Western wedding culture has caused weddings to gradually lack the connotation of traditional Chinese culture. The article hopes to encourage more young peo-ple to inherit and spread Confucian culture through weddings, in order to enhance cultural confi-dence and contribute to promoting the innovation and revival of Confucian weddings.
