试论商鞅变法的文化环境

On the Cultural Circumstances when SHANG Yang Made the Political Reform

春秋时期,秦国经济有了进一步发展,新的封建生产关系开始产生。战国初年,简公、献公的改革更推动了封建经济成分和地主阶级力量的增长,为商鞅变法奠定了物质文化基础。宗法制在秦社会中根植不深,使秦的国家权力系统和机制呈现出开放、灵活、竞争的特点,秦得以敞国门纳贤才,为商鞅大刀阔斧的改革提供了极为有利的政治文化条件。秦人轻视德、仁、义,崇尚货利、积极进取的价值观驱使秦统治者极力追求权力和空间,促成了孝公与商鞅的君臣际遇,保证了变法的彻底进行。
