齐国古典文献中的民本思想及其现代启示

On the People-oriented Idea in Classical Literature of Qi State and Its Modern Enlightenment

齐国的开国君主姜太公在兴周灭商的过程中,充分领悟到了民众的巨大作用。因此,在齐国的建国之初,他就将民本思想列为治国之策。记录太公言论的《六韬》就充分证明了这一点。其后,春秋时期,管仲创造性地继承和发展了太公的治国方略,他在《管子》一书中正式提出了"以人为本"的概念,并且从爱民、利民、富民、惠民等几个方面阐释了以人为本的思想内涵。到了战国时,齐国的民本思想得到了空前的发展。在这一时期,齐国创建和发展繁荣稷下学宫,荟萃天下学人,百家争鸣,著书立说。随着以孔孟荀为代表的儒家思想传入齐国,极大地丰富了齐国的民本思想,并从理论上把民本思想升华到一个空前的高度。齐国的民本思想不仅内容十分丰富,而且具有鲜明的特色。这对我们今天建设有中国特色社会主义现代化强国,深入落实"三个代表"重要思想,树立科学发展观,具有极其重要的启示和借鉴价值。

Jiang Taigong, the first king of Qi state, fully realized the populace＇s tremendous role in the process of annihilating Shang dynasty and making Zhou dynasty prosperous. Therefore, at the beginning of the foundation of Qi state, he took the people-oriented idea as an important strategy of his governing. The book Six Arts of Governing recording Jiang Taigong＇s opinions has fully proven this point. After that, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong creatively inherited and developed Jiang Taigong＇s governing strategy. In the Warring States Period, people-oriented idea of Qi state obtained the unprecedented development. In this time, Jixia Palace was founded and developed in Qi states. The people-oriented idea of Qi state has not only very rich content, but also brights characteristics.
