The idea of benefiting the people and enriching the people of Confucius in economic thought

Confucianism enriched and developed the traditional view of enriching the people into an economic theory of governing the country in peace. Confucius put forward the arguments of "sufficient food" and "education after getting rich", and took the abundance of the people's material wealth as the basis for the implementation of ritual and music education. His measures to enrich the people were mainly "for the benefit of the people", that is, to implement a liberal economic policy, allowing the people to make profits and make money, while at the same time requiring the rulers to be sparing.

He regarded the prosperity of the people as the basis for obtaining sufficient financial resources, and advocated that the wealth of the people precedes the wealth of the country, and the wealth of the country is based on the wealth of the people. The people are insufficient, and the monarch is sufficient". Confucius's idea of enriching the people has long been a traditional dogma in China and has a far-reaching influence.

The benevolence of Confucius refers to seeds, fruits.

1) Main point of view: advocate the monarch (or **) to organize relief, not to advocate the implementation of individual rescue. (2 points) Analysis and evaluation:

On the one hand, Confucius's ideas embody the idea of "benevolence", and on the other hand, Confucius politicizes the issue of people's livelihood, fearing that the authority of the monarch will be undermined by the implementation of individual relief, which reflects Confucius's hierarchical concept. (4 points).

"Ren" was created by the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and originally represented two people who loved each other. Confucius defined the meaning of "benevolence" for the first time as "loving others", and established a set of theories of benevolence, which was used as the basis for later rulers to develop the moral and ethical system of feudal society.

Confucius believed that "loving others" should be from near to far, first of all, "kissing", so that "entering is filial piety, leaving is love", and then can achieve "pan-love for all", which is different from the "love" of the Mohists and the "fraternity" advocated by Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

"Benevolence" is far and near, there are depths, to push oneself and others, Mencius said, "the old, the old, and the old; The young of me, and the young of man. Fan Zhongyan said that "if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world", all of which are ideological views developed from "benevolence".

Love yourself first, love your relatives, and when your ability level is high, you must love the world. From this, it is further developed to put forward "do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you", not only "love" should be from near and far, but "evil" should also be from near and far, and if you want to inflict it on others, you should first inflict it on yourself.

It can be seen from this that "benevolence" advocates different types of love for different people, and is an enterprising type of benevolent love.
