The "Reconstruction" Of "The Rural Filial Piety Culture" In "The Course Of The Social Modernization Of China"

Filial piety is a basic moral of Chinese nation,which has always been attention by people.It is originally belongs to private sector.However,when Filial piety is integrated with national traditions and adapts to social developments,it turns into a series of standards,symbols,values and languages systems;and then it develops into the Culture of Filial piety with unique Chinese national traditions.When concerns to the rural Culture of Filial piety,the rural modernization begins later than the city one and the level of rural modernization is lower than the city too.So the rural Culture of Filial piety is both traditional and modernizing.The study of the rural Culture of Filial piety appears more diversity than the study of the Culture of Filial piety in city.At first this essay analyzes the normalizer of the rural Culture of Filial piety form tow point of view,which including formal standard and informal standard.It states the current situation of the rural Culture of Filial piety,as well discusses the reasons why rural Filial piety can keep up to now indirectly.The results indicate that as for the culture of Filial piety,informal standard should be more internalized than formal standard in rural areas.These informal norms,which including ritualistic etiquette and custom,play a very important role in the reconstruction of the rural Filial piety culture.When concerns to "Culture of Filial Piety",most of the people will think about"the supporting issues of the old";whereas,this passage considers supporting for the aged as an important part of Filial Piety culture but not all of it.Share the aged-supporting function of the "culture of Filial Piety"through social security and public welfare is the inescapable responsibility of the government;nevertheless,those policies of social security can only solve the "supporting"problem,but not the issue of "Filial Piety".In the process of social modernization,a large number of young farmers leave their families and hometowns;thus,the time and space distance between parents and offspring increases,and people face the problem of re-balancing intergenerational relationships.The rural culture of Filial Piety,which has intergenerational relations as its core component,should be reconstructed accompanying with the social modernization process.However,due to the communication between societies,as well the communication between villages,between cities and villages;there are also interchanges between people's faiths and customs.The rural Filial Piety culture is not a closed one,but more like a dynamic system that changes along with social developments.When observing a group,do not limit your point of view from a"small traditional"angle of rural Filial Piety culture;this rural culture is not invariable,but dynamically changes accompany with the "modernization"of the broad environment.While from the perspective of modernization,whether considered as a modern and systemic theory described by social science,or a strategic practice of social revolution;the rural culture of Filial Piety should always be saturated with the consciousness of culture,in order to keep from the "chasing game"of following western civilization.As a representative of China's unique local culture,The culture of rural Filial Piety should always be permeated through the progress of social modernization.
