先秦儒家等级观念在经济思想上的反映

A Preliminary Study of the Reflection of Confucian Hierarchy in Economic Thought in the Pre-Qing Period

先秦儒家等级观念在经济思想上的反映就是人们对财富的占有和消费应与社会地位相符;人们的社会职业应分出尊卑贵贱的等级。先秦儒家等级观念有其产生的社会经济与社会文化条件。等级观念不利于社会公平竞争、不利于商品经济发展、不利于社会健康发展。

The reflection of Confucian hierarchy in economic thought in Pre-Qing Period refers to that one's possession and consumption should match his social status and that professions taken by different people should agree with their own social ranks, either noble or humble. This sense of hierarchy, born under certain economical and cultural conditions, is harmful to the fair social competition, the growth of market economy, and the sound social development in every aspect.
