摘要
先秦时期思想自由、开放,人们可以各抒己见,没有所谓的权威、标准,各种思想学说纷杂并存。而古代的思想家又普遍认为思想的混乱必然导致社会的混乱,因此希望统一思想。一直到西汉汉武帝之前,社会上还没有形成大家共同遵循的统一的主流思想。董仲舒"罢黜百家,独尊儒术"的建议被采纳,儒学取得独尊地位,从先秦百家之一的学说一跃而成为官方的主流的意识形态。儒学之所以能成为官方的意识形态并被广泛接受,主要有几个原因:儒学的文化渊源最深远、社会影响最深广;儒学能为西汉的王权统治提供合法性依据;儒家有助于维护君主权威和社会秩序;儒学理论能在一定程度上解答当时的现实问题。
People in of Pre-Qin period were entitled to freedom of thought and expressing their own views without being limited by any standard or authority. Different thoughts existed in the same time. However, thinkers in the ancient time held that chaos in thought would lead to chaos in society, thus hoping to achieve unification in thought. There was still no mainstream thought in society before the period of Em- peror Wudi of Western Han. The proposal of Abolishing all thoughts and developing Confucianism" by Dong Zhongshu was adopted by the authorities. Confucianism obtained a leading role as the official main- stream ideology. Reasons why Confucianism rose from one of the hundred contending schools of thoughts and became the unique official ideology and was widely accepted" are as follows : Confucianism had the earli- est cultural origin and most profound social influences; it could provide support for the legality of reign of Western Han; it could help to maintain the authority of monarchy and social order; and it could solve some practical problems of that time to a certain extent.
