摘要

马来西亚华人一直以来都处在文化认同的摸索和建构过程中。在面对马来──伊斯兰主流文化以“国家文化＂和“国家宗教＂之涵化，甚至同化压力下，部分华人走向从传统文化寻求身份的依据和寄托。1990年代以来，马来西亚华社见证了“儒学热＂。除了知识界热衷于讨论、争辩儒家思想的价值和功过，民间也有一些组织和个人开始开办儒家经典教育课程。这于某一方面反映了泛华人世界的儒学热，但另一方面则有其本土华社文化认同建构的特殊需求因素。本文以巴生谷一带的有关人士和组织为对象，从个案调查的角度切入，并提出一些问题以展开讨论。

The Malaysian Chinese community has always been searching for and constructing its cultural identity. Confronted with the pressure to acculturate or even assimilate into the Malay-Islamic mainstream culture depicted as "national culture" and "national religion", some Malaysian Chinese have sought to trace the roots of their cultural identity by examining traditional cultures. Since the 1990s, the Malaysian Chinese community has seen a "Confucianism fever". Not only has it generated intense discussion and debate in the academia about the values and merits of Confucianism, there has also been an emergence of courses on Confucianist classics conducted by organisations and individuals at the grassroots level. On the one hand, such revival reflects "Confucianism fever" across pan-Chinese community, while on the other hand, it is also due to the special needs of the local Malaysian Chinese community to identify and construct their own culture. This paper focuses on the individuals and organisations that teach Confucianist classics within the Klang Valley.
