论朱熹的民本主义思想

On Ideology of the People-basisism of Zhu Xi

南宋中期,官吏腐败,赋役苛重,农民起义。为了治国纠弊,朱熹主张推行民本主义,实行轻徭薄赋,赈救灾民,发展农业,严惩贪官。朱熹的努力取得了一定的成效,对推动社会发展有一定积极作用;但因他的民本主义思想是建立在其"仁"是"天理"以及"克己复礼为仁"的哲学观点的基础上的,是为维护封建礼教即封建等级制度服务的,故而又存在较大的局限性。

In the Mid-Southern Song Dynasty,official corruption,heavy tax and peasant uprising were very popular.In order to rectify malpractice and govern the nation,Zhu Xi advocated the ideology of the People-basisism idea:to reduce tax,to save the famished people,to develop agriculture and to punish corrupted officials.Zhu Xi's endavour obtained certain effect and actively promoted the development of the society.His ideology of the People-basisism was based on his philosophy of 'benevolence' being 'natural reason' and 'overcoming one's desire,regaining ceremony being benevolence',which saveguarded feudal order,or feudal rank system,so it existed with much limition.
