“礼”的塑型:“大一统”国家与小农经济社会

The Formation of“Rites”: A“Unified”Nation and Peasant Economy Society

春秋战国之际是中国礼学理论体系形成的重要时期,礼学源自于先民对王道社会的追求,王道观则是构建中国"大一统"国家制度和小农经济社会基础的理论源泉,"中央集权,郡县区划,职业官僚管理,编户齐民为基础的小农经济社会"四大制度建设是礼学理论建构的核心内容,"‘大一统’国家与小农经济社会"搭配的结构是中国历史治乱循环的根源,也是古代中国走向内卷化,难以向现代社会转型的主要原因。

The spring-autumn along with the warring states period is the historical moment when rites theory system of China formed. Rites originated from the pursuit of kingship. The pursuit of king- ship is the foundation of building a ＂unified＂ China and the theory for peasant economy society. The very core of rite theory system is the construction of four institutions which are ＂the centralization of power, the system of administrative division, the management of professional bureaucracy and the cen- sus of individual farmer＂. The collocation of a ＂unified＂ nation and peasant economy forms ancient Chinese administrative system and its society. This collocation is not only the key reason why the dy- nasty changes taking place in ancient China but also the reason why ancient China become state involu- tion and the main reason why ancient Chinese society almost cannot transform into a modem one.
