The concept of humane care is generally thought came from the western humanism spirit,originated in ancient Greece,went through the Renaissance,the Reformation and the Enlightenment.Its basic meaning is advocating scientific rational against religious theocracy,emphasizing the human nature is higher than the divine,affirming people's independent value and the supremacy of status as individuals,concerning about people's feelings,respecting and meeting their needs,etc.In short,Humane care thought focuses on the individual person and the value,dignity,happiness and status of people's.However,the connotation of humane care in Chinese traditional culture is different from the western.Chinese traditional humane care thought that conceived in the western zhou and formed in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period is mainly a theory system refers to the attention on social ethics and people's secular happiness,the pursuit of personality shaping and life state improving,the pursuit of spirit freedom and harmony among living things.In general,compared with western humanistic spirit,Chinese traditional humane care thought is more plump and integrated in a sense.In the context of Chinese traditional culture,"people" is an expression with social attribute,possessing the characteristics of multiple and complex itself,thus the achievement of "humane care" depends on multi-angle ways: firstly,based on people's sociality,to achieve social stability and group harmony by the principles of social ethical;Secondly,from the perspective of individual person,to realize the harmony between body and mind and the stability of soul through raising the moral accomplishment and spiritual pursuit;Thirdly,to pursue the ecological harmony between human and nature by advocating the idea of nature and man in one and integration of things.Despite the diversity of Chinese traditional culture determines the different expression and focus of the specific content of humane care among different schools of thoughts,but the pursuit of "HE" culture,which is regarded as a value care,determines the oneness of Chinese traditional culture.Confucianism is the most representative and influential school of thought in Chinesetraditional culture,its methodology of harmonious thought is "To be benevolent love",based on which,it developed a set of ethics theory and system.The "Jun Jun,Chen Chen,Fu Fu,Zi Zi" theory of Confucius,the "Five Ethics" theory of Mencius,the "Ming Fen Shi Qun" theory of Xuncius,the "three principles and five virtues" theory of Dong Zhongshu,and the "humanity that forms one body" theory of Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism,they are all logical paths from harmonious thought to humane care thought.Taoist philosophy is mainly embodied in the humanities thought cast off the yoke of the "can do" society,the pursuit of the value orientation of individual freedom and spiritual transcendence,born with "laissez-faire" attitude,"no desire" philosophy of life and the nature of the Tao to one of the ecological ethics against the shackles of society and the distortion of the "reality" and "nature",and then realize the interpersonal group,individual body and mind harmony with the natural relations.As sinicization of Buddhism,the "merciful","purdue beings" attitude and "ring was born,born hui" spiritual enlightenment,"quiet passionless" way of life and thought,"all living things equality" is full of Chinese humanities connotation.The “universal love”,"non-attact" thought of Mohist and the "subdue the enemy without fighting" thought of Bing,are all fully reflect the humane care of Chinese traditional culture pacifist substance and spirit.There is no doubt that Chinese traditional humanism and value orientation in the pursuit of the spirit of harmony at the same time,sometimes make excessive emphasis on the social interest and ignore individual democratic rights and stifle individual freedom,and cultural dross dignity of extreme happiness,it is necessary to learn from this and learning western humanism focuses on the attention of the essence of individual freedom and equality.There are,of course,must fully realize that the western humanism in the pursuit of individual rights at the same time,sometimes in the mold of extreme individualism,money worship and anthropocentrism and scientism.In the development of human productivity and science and technology progress at the same time,the paradox of cultural paradox and human survival crisis of modernity,as a result of a genetic defect is also growing,the global ecological disaster which is initiated by tension and shortage of resources,national and international terrorism,people's physical and mental alienation,spiritual emptiness and moral decay catastrophic consequences such as increasingly highlighted.Therefore,starting from theperspective of mutual learning among civilizations and fusion of western humanism spirit resources actively,analyzes its extreme thinking mode,objective analysis and to formulate the humanism thoughts and Chinese traditional culture and spirit,and carries on the transformation of the "creative and innovative development",so as to promote and develop Chinese traditional culture essence of humanism thought,construct a kind of advancing with The Times characteristics of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics of contemporary humanism philosophy and science content,this whether to overcome the defects of western culture and civilization brought about by the global crisis,and for us to cultivate and practice the socialist core concept,enhance self-efficacy culture and cultural soft power of the Chinese nation and even the early realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,all has extremely important theoretical and practical significance.
