《诗经》经济意识解读

可以说《诗经》是西周时代的一部小百科全书。历代名家对它进行了多角度、全方位的研究,成果累累。但以前人们侧重于从政治、思想、伦理和哲学方面研究《诗经》,很少从经济角度去研究它。其实中国自古以来就是一个农业国,《诗经》中就有不少是农事诗,从中能解读出较明显的经济意识。如生产力和生产关系意识,农时意识,保护生产力意识,市场经济意识、区域经济意识和公平分配意识。

Expounding the Economic Awareness in The Book of Songs

It is observed that The Book of Songs was a miniature encyclopedia recording the era of the Western Zhou Dynasty.Scholars and masters at each dynasty had taken a whole study in many views and achieved great achievements.In past,the book was observed from the perspectives of politics,thoughts,ethics and philosophy,instead from that of economic awareness.China has been an agricultural country from the dawn of history.Quite a few poems in it described farming work,displaying an obvious economic awareness,such as consciousnesses of productive force and relation,farming season,productivity protection,market economy,regional economy and fair distribution.
