中文摘要:
      调查发现,儒家伦理尤其是孝道,已在笔者所调查的豫西李村失去基础。村民缺乏践行孝道的动力,孝道只是作为一种需要被激活的伦理之一处于潜伏状态。研究发现,与非基督徒村民的普遍不孝行为相反,李村基督徒相对比较孝顺。在基督徒新自我以及分别为圣、与世人相区分的观念下,基督徒强调孝顺,但所践行的孝道伦理,却是以儒家伦理为基础的。充满悖论的事实是:乡村基督教恰恰充当了激活儒家孝道伦理的工具。基督教激活了儒家伦理,但同时也改变了儒家伦理。在“区别于世人”、“唯恐羞辱了耶稣的名”等基督教观念的影响下,李村基督徒与世人相区分的愿望及其指导下的孝道行为,果真将基督徒塑造得与非信徒不一样,这种不同反而成为其自我认知和群体身份标示。这样,在外人看来,基督徒在孝行方面确实与非信徒不一样,这是一个“自我实现的预言”。
英文摘要:
      The case of Li Village reveals an alarming picture concerning filial piety. Confucian filial piety has lost its foundation and exists in a latent state, waiting to be activated. Compared to disobedient behaviors of non-Christians, Christians in Li Village are more filial. Guided by Christian ideas of a new self, sanctifying and distinguishing oneself from worldly people, Christians emphasize filial piety, which, however, is founded on a Confucian base. The paradox is that rural Christianity in fact acts as the tool to activate Confucian ethics. It activates and changes Confucian ethics at the same time.Influenced by Christian ideals, Christians in the Li Village try to set themselves apart from the world, and their behaviors guided by such a desire indeed distinguish them from non-Christians. The difference in turn becomes a marker for self- and group identity. Thus, Christians are perceived to be different from non-Christians concerning filial piety, social interaction and civil engagement. It is a “self-fulfilling prophecy”.
