家族主义与家族伦理是中国传统文化的精神内核。近代以来,传统的家族主义受到了来自国家主义与个人主义的双重挑战。晚清时期,对家族主义的挑战主要来自国家主义。清末修律时,即发生了国家主义与家族主义的论争。论争双方围绕家族主义是否适合中国的现实需要,是否有碍于国家富强,追求国家富强是否必须破坏家族制度与家族主义;国家的目标是实现其道德价值还是追求国家自身的富强;立法创制是依顺历史与习惯,还是可以更多地发挥主观能动性等问题,发生了激烈的思想交锋。 Familism and family ethics are the spiritual cores of Chinese traditional culture. Since modern times, traditional familism has faced the dual challenge of nationalism and individualism. In the late Qing period, the challenge to familism came mainly from nationalism. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a debate between nationalism and famism. Arguing whether the reality of whether or not famililism fits China needs to be hindered by whether the two sides will hinder the prosperity of the country and whether or not the pursuit of the prosperity of the country must undermine the family system and the nationalism. Whether the goal of the state is to realize its moral values ​​or to pursue the country’s own prosperity is to establish legislation History and habits, or can give more play to the initiative and other issues, there has been a fierce ideological confrontation.
