社会变迁与老年文化重构

对中国老年文化建设进行了考察与分析。伴随社会变迁,养老责任应由家庭与子女承担为主转向以政府与社会承担为主,等级亲子关系与无限亲子责任应过渡到平等亲子关系与有限亲子责任,"父慈"与"子孝"不仅是道德规范,也体现出亲子间权利与义务的对等。传统孝道已经支撑不起中国今日之养老责任,政府对孝道过分推崇背后掩藏着政府责任的缺失。老年人应客观地看待自己与他人和社会,正视并检讨自身缺点与不足,终身学习与文化反哺,这对丰富老年人文化生活尤为重要。

Elder Cultural Construction in the Context of Social Change

This paper attempt to study and analyze several issues about Chinese elder cultural construction. Clearly: along with social change,pension liability should be shifted to the government's commitment rather than traditional family and child-caring way. Plus,strictly -hierarchical parent-child relationship and unlimited liability between parent and child should gradually transit to equal parent-child relation status. "father love son" and son should be responsible to their parents is not only ethical,but also reflects the parent-child inter-generational responsibility and obligations of reciprocity. China can not afford today's pension obligations just only by traditional filial piety,the government try to evade their responsibility by evoking filial esteem over the crowd. The elderly should hold an objective view about themselves, others and the whole society,address the lack of their own shortcomings and weaknesses,final-ly,emphasis on life-long learning and cultural feedback,which enrich their cultural life of the elderly is particularly important.
