现代极简主义思潮对中国古代节俭思想的继承与发展

The Inheritance and Development of Ancient Chinese Frugality Philosophy in Modern Minimalism

极简主义是近年来流行的一种生活方式,强调通过减少物质、信息、欲望等减轻生活压力,以提高人的精神生活质量。古代节俭思想是现代极简主义生活思潮的源泉之一,对比中国古代节俭思想与现代极简主义思潮,前者的核心是节用,后者的核心是简单,最终都是为了丰富人的精神生活,这对转型期的中国如何解决物质与精神之间的矛盾,如何跨越中等收入陷阱,以及文化产业的转型都有借鉴意义。

The life style of Minimalism is much more popular in recent years,which emphasizes reduction of life pressure and promotion of life quality by decreasing the desire for material and information.Since the ancient Chinese frugality philosophy is one of the sources for modern Minimalism,by comparing the two,the writer finds out that the core of the former is frugality,while the core of the latter is simplicity,but both are aimed to enrich people＇ s spiritual life. It is of referential significance to China in its transitional period to resolve the contradiction between material and spirit pursuit,overcome the trap of the middle income and transform cultural industry.
