“继承与发展”越来越成为社会讨论的热点话题之一,在中国的哲学史上随着时代的更替其意义也有所迥异,本文以“荀子思想”为基础,加以分析解读。“继承与发展”最早的时候是以“扬弃”来讲的,其顾名思义是宣扬和继承好的合乎现实情况的事件或思想,摒弃糟粕无理论根据的。它在哲学的研究史上很早就出现了,随着中国历史文化的不断发展,“继承与发展”的思想也随之产生了,而在“荀子·劝学”中也包含了这些思想,并且荀子思想的本身也是对儒家﹑道家思想的继承和发展。这种思想不断发展到各个领域,如在建筑﹑装饰﹑教学研究﹑商业﹑政治等等出现了不同的影响。 Succession and Development is becoming more and more the hot topic of social discussion. In the history of Chinese philosophy, its meaning is different with the change of the times. Based on “Xunzi Thought”, this paper analyzes and interprets it. The earliest “succession and development” was based on “discarding”, which, as its name implies, was an event or idea that promoted and succeeded in keeping with the reality and abandoned the unrealistic basis of dross. It appeared very early in the history of philosophical studies. With the continuous development of Chinese history and culture, the idea of ​​“inheritance and development” came into being as well, and also included in “Xunzi Encouraging Learning” These thoughts, and Xunzi's thought itself is also the inheritance and development of Confucianism and Taoism. This idea continues to develop in various fields, such as construction, decoration, teaching and research, business, politics and so on.
