儒家的经济价值观

Confucian Views on Economic Value

儒家的经济价值观是儒家文化系统的组成部分,是儒家对经济的价值认识。其主要内容是生产上重农抑商以德为本,交换上诚信为则、强调人际关系,分配观上的等级平均主义和消费观上的消极节俭,具有忽视人的发展、轻视经济和歧视劳动者及现实中的虚伪性特点。在分析儒家经济价值观积极方面和消极方面的基础上,必须有针对性地对儒家的经济价值观实现现代条件下的转换。

The Confucian views on economic value, i.e. the Confucian understanding on the value of the economy, is a component part of the Confucian culture system. Its main content is as follows: in the respect of production, the confucianists value agriculture above trade; in the respect of exchange, take honesty as principle and emphasize social relationships; in distribution aspect, they advocate equalitarianism according to the people's social estate; and in consumption aspect, they encourage passive frugality. It indicates from the above that the Confucian economic value neglects the human being's development, despises economy, discriminates the laborer, and has a hypocritical characteristic in the reality. On the basis of analyzing both of its active and passive aspects, we must realize the transformation of the Confucian economic value according to the need of our modern society.
