中華民族以五千年綿延不斷、博大精深的燦爛文化著稱於世,這在很大程度上與中華民族看重歷史記憶的文獻傳統有關,特别是與對經典文本的記錄、保存、研究與傳承有關。其中有兩種基本的文化態度最引人注目:一是傳統家庭及知識群體對於經典教育持久而深切的關注;二是國家政府對於經典文化建設工程積極而有力的支援,最爲人熟知的就是“盛世修典”的文化創舉。 The Chinese nation is known for its 5,000-year-long, profound and splendid culture. This is largely due to the Chinese tradition of valuing historical memories, especially related to the recording, preservation, research and inheritance of classical texts. Among them, there are two basic cultural attitudes that attract the most attention. The first is that the traditional families and knowledge groups have long-lasting and deep-rooted concerns about classical education. The second is that the state government actively and effectively supports classic cultural construction projects, most notably “Spiritual Xiudian ” cultural initiative.
