摘　　要：元宇宙在中国当前是一个热点话题。虽然中国在元宇宙诞生和发展中作出重要贡献,但事实上元宇宙是一个与西方文化相关的问题。从元宇宙的起源和发展过程来看,元宇宙始终与西方相关。无论是元宇宙一词的来源,还是元宇宙发展的主要节点,都集中在西方。不仅如此,从元宇宙的理论根基来看,元宇宙更是建立在西方文化基础之上。西方文化的二重世界理论则是元宇宙的文化根基。建基于二重世界理论之上的元宇宙,其本质是一个与现实世界平行的世界。它是一个因人们对现实世界不满而构造出的虚拟世界,虽然是以现实世界为模板,但又不是现实世界的翻版,而是对现实世界的超越。既然元宇宙是西方二重世界思想的产物,那么,对于元宇宙,中国人应该认清其西方文化特性,认识到二重世界的理论对其所造成的虚拟化倾向。而要避免元宇宙的虚拟化倾向,我们有必要回到中国文化,其一元论特征决定了中国人更加注重现实世界,认为人最终是生活于现实世界之中,因而对于彼岸世界并不关心。正因如此,我们可以在技术时代充分发挥中国文化中一元世界的优势,将元宇宙的发展导向由虚入实,并在元宇宙的建设中将现实世界的建设作为重点,将虚拟世界作为补充,从而使得元宇宙能够更好地服务于现实生活。Metaverse is a hot topic in China.Although China has made important contributions to the birth and development of Metaverse,Metaverse is in fact a problem related to Western culture.From the point of view of the origin and development process of Metaverse,Metaverse has always been related to the West.Both the source of the term and the main nodes of the development of Metaverse are concentrated in the West.Not only that,from the theoretical basis of Metaverse,Metaverse is built on the basis of Western culture.The theory of two worlds in western culture is the cultural foundation of Metaverse.Based on the theory of two worlds,the essence of Metaverse is a parallel world with the real world.It is a virtual world constructed because people are dissatisfied with the real world.Although it is based on the real world as a template,it is not a copy of the real world,but a transcendence of the real world.Since the meta-universe is the product of the western Dual-world thought,the Chinese people should recognize the characteristics of their Western culture and realize the tendency of virtualization caused by the theory of Dual-world.And to avoid the virtual tendencies of Metaverse,it is necessary to go back to Chinese culture.Different from Western culture,the monistic characteristics of Chinese culture determine that Chinese people pay more attention to the real world,believing that people ultimately want to live in the real world,and do not care about the other world.Because of this,we can give full play to the advantages of the One-world of Chinese culture in the technological era,and change the development orientation of Metaverse from virtual to real.In the construction of Metaverse,the construction of the real world is taken as the focus,and the virtual world is supplemented,so that Metaverse can better serve the real life.
