论《太平经》的太平理想

On the Taiping Ideal of The Taiping Sutra

太平观念出现于战国时期,盛行于东汉,并成为人们普遍追求的社会理想。《太平经》的根本宗旨是实现太平的理想社会,它将太平理想理论化、道教化;太平观念与气化学说相结合,构成了自然性和神秘性融为一体的太平气理论,成为实现太平理想的理论基础;太平理想的核心是强调和谐,君、臣、民三者要并力同心,和衷共济;社会和谐是太平盛世的主要标志,实现太平理想的重要途径是德治;财富共享、人人劳动、相爱互助和免除刑罚是太平理想国的主要特征。太平理想一定程度上反映了民众的愿望,但缺乏现实基础和实现的可能性,只能是一种"乌托邦"式的幻想。

The Taiping concept appeared in the Warring States,prevailed in East Han Dynasty and became the social ideal that people generally pursued.The ultimate tenet of The Taiping Sutra is to realize an ideal society of Taiping.It turns the ideal of Taiping into theory and Taoism.The Taiping concept forms the theory of Taipingqi with the characteristics of nature and mysticism combined with the gasified theory,and becomes the theoretical foundation to realize the ideal of Taiping.The core of ideal of Taiping is to emphasize harmony.The monarch,officials and people must work with one heart,and help each other;Social harmony is the major symbol of the peace and prosperity.The important way of realizing Taiping is to rule by virtue.It is the major characteristics of the Utopia of Taiping to share wealth,labor commonly,love and help each other and get rid of penalties.The ideal of Taiping reflects the wishes of the people to some extent,but it lacks the bases of realities and the possibilities to realize.It is only a kind of Utopia.
