“节用”与“侈靡”的现代诠释

Contemporary Interpretation on Ideas of "Thift" and "Luxury" on Consumption

中国古代存在“节用”与“侈靡”两种有关消费的思想:儒家、道家、墨家崇尚勤俭节约;法家强调消费对生产的促进作用。二者是辩证的关系。其对建立“节约型社会”、树立新的节约观、提倡科学消费观,具有深刻的启示。

Them are two opposite ideas on consumption ： ＂thrift＂,which is consisted by Confucianists ,Daoists and Moists; and ＂luxury＂, which is suggested by Legalists who held that consumption brings about great advance in production. The dialectical relation between the two theories gives enlightenment to us in construction of ＂economizational society＇,and spreading new idea of economization and scientifically consumption.
