摘　　要：现代性如同洪流般奔袭而至,冲击着社会的每个角落,时代的巨变带来社会结构的重组,婚姻制度首当其冲。国外信奉所谓的“政治正确”,结婚对象从异性逐步突破至同性、动物乃至非生命体。而中国的年轻一代则在“性别对立”、“爱无能”、高房价、高彩礼等时代症候中表现出不婚、恐婚的趋势,甚至有人奉行“不婚不育保平安”。婚姻日益成为年轻一代难以承受之重,《中庸》所谓“君子之道,造端乎夫妇。及其至也,察乎天地”的婚姻神圣性也面临逐渐被消解之隐忧。《天府新论》本期“激活儒学生命力”笔谈以婚姻为主题,阐发传统儒学的婚姻价值观,探讨婚姻的古今之变,提出儒学的可能应对之方。李竞恒认为,婚姻所承载的那种构建、延续、经营“生命河流”之共同体所带有的古老神性在现代社会被祛魅,现代儒学解决婚姻问题的方式应该是探索研究处于精英生态位群体的成功经验。董卫国认为,新旧杂糅的婚姻价值观与现代生活模式并不匹配,传统儒家对婚姻本质及合理性的理解或许可以成为调适现代婚姻价值观的有益资源。刘青衢认为,儒家古典婚义要旨的现代价值在于,以内在真实的礼义破除对外在物质的偏执,以在婚姻共同体中修养德性破除功利个人主义的危害,以对生生之道的承当破除计较生育得失的短见。笔谈根据主题需要编排次序,作者排名不分先后。Modernity is rushing like a torrent,impacting every corner of society.The great changes of the times have brought about a restructuring of the social structure,with the marriage system being the first to bear the brunt.Foreign countries believe in the so-called political correctness,and foreigners′marriage partners gradually shift from opposite sex to same sex,animals,and even non-living entities.The younger generation in China,on the other hand,has shown a trend of not getting married and fearing marriage amidst the symptoms of“gender opposition”,“incompetence in love”,high housing prices,and high dowries,and even someone adhering to the principle of“No marriage and infertility guarantee safety”.Marriage is increasingly becoming a burden that the younger generation cannot bear,and the sanctity of marriage,as stated in theD octrine of the Mean—“the way of a gentleman begins with the daily lives of ordinary men and women,but at its highest level,it can perceive everything in the world”,is also facing hidden worries of being gradually dissolved.The discussion on“Activating the Confucian Vitality”of this issue ofNew Horizons from Tianfufocuses on the theme of marriage,elaborates on the traditional Confucian values of marriage,explores the transformation of marriage from antiquity to modernity,and proposes possible responses of Confucianism.Li Jingheng believes that the ancient divinity showed by the community of building,continuing,and managing the“river of life”carried by marriage has been dispelled in modern society.The way of modern Confucianism to solve marriage problems should be exploring and studying the successful experiences of elite ecological niche groups.Dong Weiguo holds that the marriage values that blend conventional and new concepts do not match the modern lifestyle,and the traditional Confucian understanding of the essence and rationality of marriage may become a useful resource for adjusting modern marriage values.Liu Qingqu deems that the modern value of the essence of
