Exploring the Source of Fu:An Interpretation of the Cultural Concept of Pre-Qin Confucian Fu Culture
This paper mainly uses the literature research method and the method of unifying history and logic to explain the concept of Confucian Fu culture in the pre-Qin period.It is found that the concept of Fu culture originated in the pre-Qin period,and Confucianism promoted the formation of a systematic framework for Fu culture.At the level of connotation and regulation,Confucianism in the pre-Qin period provided guidance for the category of Fu culture.It is believed that"Fu"is a gift from the gods and ghosts in heaven to people,and the emperor can also bestow Fu on the people by virtue of his power.At the same time,the five categories of Fu are defined to present the content of Fu in a concrete way.In terms of material foundation,Confucianism in the pre-Qin period proposed the practice mechanism of"ensuring people's permanent property".In the dimension of spiritual structure,Confucianism in the pre-Qin period gave a diversified interpretation of Fu culture.Taking"benevolence"as the core essence of Fu and"propriety"as the normative constraint of Fu,the concept of"consistency between virtue and Fu"is put forward,and the complementary relationship between"virtue"and"Fu"is constructed.From the perspective of"three joys of a gentleman",the inner world construction of Fu pursued by a gentleman is carried out.Finally,the relationship between Fu and misfortune is viewed from a dialectical perspective.In contemporary times,Fu culture continues to inherit and evolve in the practice of the Communist Party of China seeking Fu for the people,and becomes a living cultural system,which has been expanded and deepened at both practical and theoretical levels.
