论汉代的社会保障思想

汉代社会保障内容丰富,以民为本是汉代社会保障的思想基础。汉代社会救济思想包括贫困救济和灾后补救两部分,可以细分为养恤、安辑、赈济、调粟、放贷和节约等学说。仓储后备说是依靠国家力量来储粮备荒、保障社会成员基本生存权利的思想。尊老养老不仅是汉代衡量上至将相、下至平民的伦理道德规范,而且统治者还将其上升至政治理论与实践的高度,定为一项基本国策,极力倡导全体国人执行。调均思想包括贫富有差和贫富有度两个方面,立论重点是防止贫富过分悬殊,只有解决好民生问题,民众才会听命于君主。早期佛教和道教中的慈善思想初具雏形,开后世宗教慈善之先河。民本思想指导下的社会保障思想与专制统治共存,属于专制思想范畴。
