摘要
“中国”与“东方”在词源语义上并不存在天然关联,使用“东方”指称中国是漫长历史建构的结果。随着近代中国被卷入资本主义世界市场,西方世界知识大量涌入,“东方”一词渐被国人接纳成为中国的指称之一,并被付诸以东方文明身份进行自我重构的努力之中。在这样的背景下,马克思、列宁与毛泽东对东方发展道路的思考、论述与实践,建构并贯穿了“东方”与“中国”之间以社会主义为核心特征的意义关联,使“东方”概念在反对帝国主义及其压迫、与亚非拉国家命运与共以及充满光明前途的社会主义道路的意义上实现了中国化,完成了中国从被动位于“东方”到主动建设“东方”的关键跨越,“东方”至此成为中国的一个重要指称。
There is no natural connection between“China(the central)”and“the East”in their etymologies and semantic meanings,and the use of“the East”to refer to China is the result of a long historical construction.As China was forced to go into the capitalist world market in the modern era with the influx of western knowledge,the name of“China(the central)”could hardly justify itself.Chinese people had to gradually accept“the East”as one of alternative names to China and endeavored to reconstruct its identity into the Eastern civilization.In this context,Marx,Lenin and Mao Zedong’s thinking,discourse and practices on the Eastern countries’development path have coherently constructed the meaningful connection between“the East”and“China”with socialism as its core feature.As such,the concept of“the East”has attained Chinese characteristics through meaning empowerment:opposition to imperialism and its oppression,shared destiny with Asian,African and Latin American countries,and adherence to the bright pathway of socialism.This process realized a significant transition for China from being passively located in“the East”to actively building“the East”,thus making“the East”one of the important alternatives to denote China.
