儒家思想由孔子（Confucius）在春秋时期创立，并迅速成为中国文化的核心内容之一。儒家重视道德和人与人之间的关系，着力于关注人类社会的秩序的和谐安定；对于虚无飘渺的神灵（illusory divine）世界，尽量采取回避的态度，或按照自己的观念加以改造而得到强化。儒学对中国文化产生了巨大的影响，其价值观念渗透在中国人民的生活、思想和习俗中。

Confucius established the Confucian school of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucianism quickly became one of the pillars of Chinese culture. Confucian philosophy attaches great importance to ethics and interpersonal relationships and is concerned about the harmony and stability of the order of human society. It adopts the attitude of trying as much as possible to evade the illusory divine world or intensifying the concept through the transformation of divine world according to one’s own ideology. Confucianism has had a great influence on Chinese culture with its values permeating the life, thinking and customs of the Chinese people.

道教（Taoism），同儒家思想（Confucianism）一样，是土生土长的中国宗教。它与儒学和佛学并称“三

教”，是中国哲学的重要组成部分之一。中国的古代哲学家老子是道教的创始人。道教认为“阴”和“阳”是宇宙

中对立又统一的自然力量，并强调其相对的“稳定”，即“阴”和“阳”之间的和谐统一。江西的龙虎山作为道教的发源地一直被认为是圣地，每年都有很多人前去朝拜（pilgrimage ）。

Taoism, like Confucianism, is a native Chinese religion. Along with Buddhism and Confucianism, it is one of the three great philosophies in ancient China. Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher, is the founder of Taoism. Taoism emphasizes on the relative “stability”, which can be attained when a harmony is reached between Yin and Yang, which are said to be the opposite but related natural powers of the universe. Dragon and Tiger Mountain (Longhu Mountain) in Jiangxi Province, as a cradle of Taoism, has been regarded as a Holy Land to which many pilgrimages are made every year.

4 尊老爱幼是中国人的优良传统。几千年来，人们一直把尊老爱幼作为一种社会责任和行为规范。战国时期（the Warring States Period ）的孟子（Mencius ）就曾说过：要像尊敬自己的老人一样尊敬别人的老人，要像爱护自己的孩子一样爱护别人的孩子。在中国，违背了这种美德的人，不光会受到的批评，严重的还要受到法律的惩处。尊老爱幼这种传统美德为中华民族繁衍发展提供了坚实的社会基础。

Respecting the aged and loving the young is a traditional Chinese virtue. For thousands of years, people have always considered it a social responsibility and behavioral norm. Mencius in the Warring States Period said that one should respect the elderly relatives of other people as one’s own, and take care of others’ children as one’s own. In China, those who ignore these virtues will not only be criticised by public opinions, but also be punished by law. It is the pleasant virtue of respecting the aged and loving the young that provided firm social base for the development of the Chinese nation.
