平均主义与中国传统社会的国家治理

Egalitarianism and State Governance in Traditional Chinese Society

平均主义是在中国传统社会获得广泛认同的观念和政治信仰。平均主义不但是中国古代思想家构想理想的社会生活的理论依据,并且也为历代王朝所接受和认可,成为秦汉以后历代王朝的政治、经济制度的理论基础,在深层意义上约束和规范着历代王朝的治理过程。中国古代社会的国家治理始终没有脱离平均主义的轨道。随着小康社会的全面建成,共同富裕成为当下中国社会共同关心的议题。要实现新时代共同富裕的战略目标,必须充分认识传统的平均主义观念的本质,厘清共同富裕与平均主义的本质差别。

As a concept widely recognized in Chinese traditional society,egalitarianism,a belief that the ancient Chinese people have never abandoned,is the theoretical basis for the thinkers in ancient China to conceive ideal social life,having profound impact on the political and economic systems of the post-Qin-Han dynasties,by constraining and regulating the governance process of these dynasties.The state governance of ancient Chinese society has never deviated from the track of equalitarianism.Despite its positive significance to the state governance in ancient China,the negative influence of egalitarianism cannot be ignored.
