古代仪式的治理向度及其当代启示OACHSSCD

A nation's governance system and capacity are closely related to its historical heritage and cultural tradi-tions.Ideological and political education served as a means of social governance in ancient China,with rituals acting as its vehicle,playing a unique role in ancient social governance.Faced with problems in current ideological and political edu-cation rituals-such as historical nihilism,cultural nihilism,and formalism-that hinder the exertion of governance effective-ness,the governance practice of ancient rituals contains empirical wisdom to address this issue.Therefore,on the basis of clarifying the connotation of ancient rituals and summarizing their three characteristics including the hierarchical ritual or-der,the ritual symbol of public power,and the ritual expression of ideology,this paper discusses how ancient ideological and political education achieved political governance,cultural governance,and moral governance through political rituals,cultural rituals,and moral education rituals respectively.Furthermore,it extracts contemporary implications from three as-pects including strengthening social identity,evoking emotional resonance and maintaining social order,aiming to provide a new perspective for in-depth exploration of the resources of ancient Chinese ideological and political education and the wisdom of ancient governance.
