孔子从春秋时代社会分配所存在的差等现象中，发现了消费的差等结构，并主张不要过分扩大这种差距；他从治国安民的高度着眼，要求当政者“节财”，但同时又提出个人消费要“使足”的原则。他肯定了人的物欲的客观性和合理性，他本人也靠出卖知识而获取生活资料，但又强调克制物欲的重要，倡导重精神轻物质的消费观，从而使人的心灵得以净化，人与人之间的情感得以升华。因此，深入研究孔子的消费经济思想．对于引导人们树立正确的消费观，有着十分重要的意义。 From the phenomena of poor social distribution in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius discovered the poor structure of consumption and advocated not to excessively widen this gap. From the perspective of governing the country and the people, Confucius urged them to “save money” but at the same time Put forward personal consumption to “make enough” principle. He affirmed the objectivity and rationality of human materialism. He himself also relies on the selling of knowledge to obtain the means of subsistence, but he also emphasizes the importance of restraining material and spiritual needs and advocates the consumption of heavy mental and spiritual material so as to purify the human mind. Emotions between people are sublimated. Therefore, in-depth study of Confucius’s consumption economy. For guiding people to establish a correct concept of consumption, has a very important significance.
