Abstract:

Classical sociological theories often use two concepts of mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity to discuss the relation between individual and society and social structure. It is difficult to apply this dual model to explain the sacred relations in the belief of the Chinese sacred structure about “Tian” and ancestors. It is not limited to mechanical solidarity, but exceeds the similarity of family blood to transfer filial piety into loyal and then be integrated into the mode of political power. As a result, it will directly form hierarchical solidarity based on organic solidarity. On the surface, it resembles religion, but in essence it is the hierarchical setting of the sacred pattern. As a sacred symbol of the mentality of family- country, the personality hierarchy is the best result of the integrity of Chinese civilization believing the inherent goodness of human nature, the intercommunication of the three sacred roots of Heaven-earth-humans, ancestors, and ruler-masters, and the unity of the sacred and the secular. The special relationship of the sacred personality makes special contribution to the universalism of the great harmony under Heaven. Therefore, “hierarchical solidarity” can be used as a concept tool to explain destiny, ancestors, ruler-masters and other divine archetypes and their transformations which have started since three thousand years ago. In the end, it results in a sacred hierarchy arranging from low to high but acting from high to low, personality ethics and mentality of family- country.

Key words: the sacred of Chinese, hierarchical solidarity, moral personality, Mentality of family- country
