On Zhu Qianzhi’s Cultural Morphology

Based on the Spengler’s cultural morphology,Zhu Qianzhi put forward his uniquecultural morphology, so that he can deal with the issue of the future of Chineseculture.This thesis is divided into two parts:"relationship between self and others" and"culture and civilization".Firstly, we may introduce "relationship between self and others", though ZhuQianzhi introduced the spengler’s "phase" method of "view" as a whole and thehomologous "analogy", he transformed Hegel’s "syllogism" and Comte’s "three laws"comprehensively,finally forming his "form of four culture" and divided the culture intothe four kinds of form religion, philosophy, science and art, apart from the coordinationand comprehensive of art to the world culture, the other three kinds of cultural formscorresponded to India (religion), China (philosophy) and the West (science). In theprocess of their longitudinal culture development, through the independence,communication, integration gradually of the "Oneself culture" and "Others culture", thethree kinds of culture finally convergeing towards art culture period, when the artculture is inclusive of the former three kinds of cultural forms, thus achieve"harmonious but different".Secondly, when Zhu Qianzhi applying the methods of the cultural morphology toanalyse culture and civilization, he demonstrated that Chinese culture is no "zombie",which would not be destroied in the future. He once said that, Chinese culture is"ancient but not die, old but not deathless", so it will revive, and after accepting thebaptism of scientific civilization and it will be more extraordinary creativity and burstinto blossom a bright vitality again.The essence of Zhu Qianzhi’s cultural morphology is that, Chinese culture candevelop into a higher stage by conscientiously combining with western civilization.
