摘要
中国传统文明之所以能够绵延数千年而不绝,一个重要的原因便是来自于“内生外化”的特有演化逻辑。一是具有强固的“内生”能力,即:从中国社会共同体内部的角度看,在先进的农耕经济、极为牢固的社会基本单元、具有一定的社会流动性、较高强度的社会整合以及较强的社会治理能力的基础之上,中国传统文明形成了一种强固的“内生”能力。二是具有相对较强的“外化”能力,即:从中国处理“对外”关系的角度看,立足于自身强固的“内生”动力,基于相对和平的天下观、非掠夺生存资源型的行为方式、尽可能避免军事冲突的做法以及有效且稳定的对外交往方略,中国从整体上逐渐形成了一种不仅能够相对有效应对外部环境变化的,同时还能够借助于“对外”方略用以增强自身“内生”动力的、行之有效的“外化”能力。在“内生”能力和“外化”能力相辅相成的基础之上,中国传统文明得以绵延数千年而不绝,成为世界四大文明古国当中唯一延续至今的同源传统文明。
An important reason why Chinese traditional civilization can last for thousands of years is the unique evolutionary logic of“endogenesis&externalization”.First,it has strong“endogenous”ability.That is,from the internal perspective of the Chinese social community,on the basis of advanced farming economy,extremely solid basic social units,certain social mobility,higher intensity of social integration and strong social governance ability,Chinese traditional civilization has formed a strong“endogenous”ability.Secondly,it has relatively strong ability to“externalize”.That is,from the perspective of China's handling of“foreign”relations,based on its own strong“endogenous”momentum,and based on a relatively peaceful world outlook,a non predatory way of living resources,the practice of avoiding military conflicts as far as possible,and an effective and stable foreign exchange strategy,China has gradually formed an overall strategy that can not only respond relatively effectively to changes in the external environment,at the same time,it can also use the“external”strategy to enhance its own“endogenous”power and effective“externalization”ability.On the basis of the complementary ability of“endogenous”and“externalization”,Chinese traditional civilization has continued for thousands of years,becoming the only homologous traditional civilization among the four ancient civilizations in the world.
