构建中国传播学话语体系须补足重启传统的努力，为古今中西“十字路口”的对话、创造提供历史向度的思想资源。离开对传统的亲近、理解、同情和批判，实难完整理解现实、平衡观照中西，亦难开启有生机的未来。因言说与治乱兴亡关联切近，言说与秩序的关系成为中国历代普遍关切的思想史基源问题。从基源问题出发，中国传播思想史形成了有关言说与天人秩序、政权与民众关系、人际与社会交往，以及言说与个体存在诸领域的丰厚观念遗产，并体现出秩序优先、价值共识优先、关系调适优先、和合创生优先等思想特质。为创造性转化传统思想，应重构传播思想史基源问题，重振人文主义、价值理性和“人学”意识，重返中国现实问题、生产在地知识并增益其全球价值。

In order to construct a system of Chinese communication theory,it is necessary to rejuvenate tradition and to provide thinking resource from a historical perspective for the dialogue between the East and the West and that between the Ancient and the PresentWithout a close,sympathetic,and critical understanding of the tradition,it is impossible to understand the reality as a whole,to objectively observe the East and the West,or to create a future full of energyDiscourses are closely related with the rise and fall of a state,and for this reason the relation between discourses and social order has been regarded as the fundamental questionThe history of Chinese communication thought has left a rich legacy on the relation between discourses and a number of fields,such as the order between heaven and man,the relation between the authority and the public,and the association of an individual with the society where he or she livesThis history also reflects the prioritization of social order,consensus on social values,balance of social relation,and harmonious social production and reproductionTherefore,to transform tradition in a creative way,we should return to the fundamental question to redefine humanity,social value and rationality,and the study of humanity,so that we can truly access the reality and to produce and expand local knowledge in a global context
