中國文化概覽（簡體書）

《中國文化概覽》講述了：近年來，隨著我國大學英語教學改革的逐步深化，英語教學已成為英語教育，其功能已由單一地傳授知識向傳播文化、訓練語言技能、培養交流能力、提高文化素養和思想品德的多元化功能轉化。為此，我們為非英語專業本科生開設了大學英語素質教育拓展課程——大學英語系列選修課，包括語言技能類、文化類、文學類以及應用類，旨在實現大學英語教學的個性化教育與綜合素質培養的目標，結合語言學習，綜合提高學生語言文化能力和應用能力，使大學英語教學能夠全面提升學生的語言素質、心理素質和文化素質，發掘大學英語課程的隱性功能。經過改革、創新從而形成新層次的教學實踐，為素質教育提供更寬廣的發展空間。

Confucius（551 BC一479 BC），founder of Confucianism，was re-vered as the greatest of sages throughout most of China’S history.Histeaching，Confucianism，was the state teaching from the beginning of theHan Dynasty in 202 BC to the end of the imperial period in 1911.Nowa-days，almost all the Chinese people in the world follow Confucius thought.It guides Chinese people in both social governing and daily behaviors. Confucius’primary concern lay in social relations，proper conduct，and social harmony.Confucius defined five cardinal relationships：betweenruler and the ruled，between husband and wife，between parents and chil.dren，between older and younger brothers，and between friends.Except forthe last case，all of the defined relationships are between superiors and in-feriors.To realize social harmony，he not only emphasized the completeobedience and loyahy of the inferior to the superior but also mentioned thebenevolence of the superior to the inferior.
