王阳明社会分工思想的历史因袭及创新

对王阳明思想体系的研究,迄今为止,多半还囿于他的哲学方面。然而王阳明在经济方面的阅历和心得也同样具有真知烁见。我国古代的经济思想也是一脉相承的,随着时代的变迁,对人的身份地位,从而对职业的尊崇荣辱也必然有一个认识的渐进过程。从管仲的“四民分业”世袭制度到王阳明的“四民平等”观念,不仅说明了王阳明思想的先进性,更表明了中国封建社会经济长期缓慢发展的深刻原因。

The Source and Innovation of Wang Yangming's Thinking of Social Division of Labor

Until now,the study on Wang Yangming's thinking has been mainly limited in the sphere of philosophy.But he also has his correct and penetrating views on economics.Ancient thinking of economics in China could be traced to the same origin.Along with the change of dynasties,people's attitudes towards man's status and occupations have gone through a long and gradual process.From Guan Zhong's hereditary system of "Four divisions of labor" to Wang Yangming's "Four estates equal",we can see that they express not only the advancement of Wang Yangming;'s thinking,but also the causes of slow growth of Chinese feudalist economy.
