先秦“民本”思想的发展可分两个阶段:夏商西周依附于“天命论”的阶段和春秋以来儒家的理性思考阶段。以孔子为首的儒家对“民本”思想所做的革新性发展,从民众本身所具有的力量论述了民众对于国家政治的安定、经济的富足和军队的强大的决定性影响,从而赋予“民本”以理性化思考,并使之从一种近于宗教信仰的政治信条丰富为具体的惠民措施,使“民本”思想焕发了新的生命力。 The development of pre-Qin “people-oriented ” thought can be divided into two stages: the period of Xia and Shang Xizhou attached to the stage of “destiny” and the stage of rational thinking of Confucianism since the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucianism, led by Confucius, has revolutionized the idea of ​​“people-basedness.” From the power of the people themselves, the author expounds the people’s decisive influence on the stability of the country’s politics, the economy, and the armed forces, thereby giving “People-oriented” to rational thinking, and make it from a close to the religious creed of political creed as a concrete measures to benefit the people, so that “people-oriented ” thought glowed new vitality.
