从明清小说看明末仕商思想的两重性

The Double Sides of the Philosophy of "Official-turned Businessmen" Seen from Ming-Qing Novels

"三言"、"二拍"等明清小说中大量体现出道德说教的内容,但是,我们可以清楚地看到士人与商人等在实际生活中对道德礼法所持的态度并不一样,也就是说,不同的人物形象,对待道德标准具有明显的矛盾,这反映了作者对道德礼法在理论与实践中的混乱思想。在这些现象的背后,隐含的是劝善与趋利之间的复杂关系,二者既有重合又有分离。

Many classical novels in Ming and Qing- dynasties feature： morality preaching. We, in these novels, however; can also dearly see that some officials and merchants held different opinions towards then feudal morality, that is too say, different characters might be totally different in dealing the moral standard, which reflects the authors confusion in learning and applying the moral standard. We can also see, in these novels, promoting goodness and pursuing benefits are two main forces confronting and collaborating with each other.
