“死士”身份的转变与生命价值的实现

The Transformation of“the Warrior-to-devote-his-life”Identity and the Realization of Life Value

春秋战国时期,人们的思想观念发生重大转变。随着统治阶层对文化知识的垄断被打破,具备一定文化知识的底层贵族流落民间。同时,国家之间频繁的战争使底层民众的生命安全难以得到保障。在这一时代背景下,春秋战国时期,人们对个体生命价值产生了新的思考,推动了新的社会现象的产生。其中引人注意的是,随着底层民众自我意识的觉醒和对个体生命价值的反思,底层民众自主选择成为“死士”,改变了“死士”群体原有的以上层贵族为主的构成特征。

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period,people’s ideas changed greatly.While the ruling class’monopoly on cultural knowledge was broken,the lower-class aristocrats with certain cultural knowledge fell into the folk.At the same time,frequent wars between countries make it difficult to guarantee the life safety of the people at the bottom.In that context,peo-ple in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period had a new thinking on the val-ue of individual life and hence promote the emergence of new social phenomena.It is noteworthy that with the awakening of self-awareness and reflection on the value of individual life of the people at the bottom,a considerable part of the“warriors to devote thier lives”,which was originally dominated by the upper-class aristocrats,began to be occupied by the people at the bottom.
