淺析中英兩國宗教文化差異

淺析中英兩國宗教文化差異摘要宗教是人類社會對統(tǒng)治力量的崇拜，是對文化風俗的浸染，是人類社會發(fā)展到一定歷史階段出現(xiàn)的文化現(xiàn)象。中英兩國均為世界上地位舉足輕重且歷史文化悠久的文化大國。一直以來，宗教作為一種重要的統(tǒng)治的意識形態(tài)工具在該國的發(fā)展歷史進程中起了重要作用。中國的佛教與英國的基督教，作為各自國家宗教大家庭中的主流成員，對各自國家社會歷史的發(fā)展都發(fā)揮了不容小覷的作用。本文嘗試探討佛教與基督教在對應國家的特點及對于國民生活的影響，使人們初步了解宗教文化對兩國人民的生命觀、家庭觀、人際交往以及思維方式上的影響,以期讀者可以加深對兩國宗教文化及國民的了解，為跨文化交流打下較好基礎。關鍵詞：宗教文化；中國與英國；基督教與佛教ABriefAnalysisoftheDifferencesBetweenChineseandBritishReligiousCultureAbstractReligionreferstotheworshipofrulingpowerandtheimmersionofculturalcustomsinhumansociety.Asaculturalphenomenon,religionappearswhenhumansocietydevelopstoacertainhistoricalstage.BothChinaandBritainareimportantculturalpowerswithalonghistoryandcultureintheworld.Religionhasalwaysplayedanimportantroleintheirrespectivehistoricaldevelopmentofasanimportantideologicaltoolofgovernance.China’sBuddhismandChristianityintheUK,asthemainstreamintheirrespectivecountriesreligiousfamilymembers,haveplayedasubstantialrole

.InChina,withbloodasthebondandfamilyasthecenter,Chinesepeopleregardtheiroffspringasthecontinuationoftheirownlives.Inrecentyears,withthecontinuousmaturityofChineseBuddhism,thestyleofChineseculturehasbeengraduallyintegratedintothebuddhistculture,andtheelementsofbuddhistculturehavebeengraduallyabsorbedintotheChineseculture.Especiallyonthequestionof“filialpiety”,theBuddhismstartsfromthestandpointofspiritualcultivationandmakesitsowninterpretationoffilialpiety,thatis,“filialpiety”isissuedfromthehearttorelieveparents’worries,giveparentspleasureandmakeparentsgetspiritualrelief.Ifsomeoneinthebottomofmyhearthassuchapursuit,then,thispersonisafilialspiritofthepeople(蘇樹華,2004).However,thewesterntraditionalcultureisquiteindifferenttothiskindoffamilyethics.AsthewesternChristiancivilizationisextremelyfragmented,thekinshipethicsinthefamilyhasbeendisintegrated,resultingintheweakeningofthewesternviewofbloodunification.Westernersbelievethatgodcreatedhumanbeingsandshouldconcentrateonservinghim.Itasksbelieverstofocusonservinggodratherthanparents,andnotonwivesandfamilies.ItisobviousthatChristianityistransplantingthefamilykinshipethicsintothereligiousfield,andatthesametimetryingtodepreciatetherealfamilyconcept,whichleadstotheweakeningofthefamilyethicsinthewest.4.3InterpersonalCommunicationRestrictedbydifferentculturalconceptsandculturalbackgroundsbetweenChinaandthewest,therearealsogreatdifferencesininterpersonalcommunication.Interpersonalstrengthsareimportantpositivetraitsofhumanbeings(LiuLishaetal.,2018(6):7).Chinesecultureisaculturewithastrongculturalcolor,andpeoplearecloselyrelatedtoeachother,withastrongaffinityandhumantouch.Spendingtimewithotherpeoplecanincreasehappinessandwell-being,particularlyiftheexchangesaremeaningfulandinvolvecloseothers(JacquieD.Voraueretal.,2020(8):9).Sinceancienttimes,Chinesetraditionalculture,the"Brotherhood"occupiestheimportantpositionabsolutely,itincludesnotonlymeanstheextensionofthethetraditional“affection”,butalsointheethicsof“personalloyalty”composition,withtheBuddhismunderstood"personalloyalty"hasthe
