中国市民社会的早期形态表现在 :社会调适功能的退化 ;经济结构中出现新的因素 ;对自我主体的张扬与肯定以及各种文人团体、商人集团的产生。后期封建社会商业经济的滞缓给早期市民社会形态的形成带来很大的局限 ,中国传统儒家思想的影响又使中国早期市民社会形态具有自身独特的特点。 The early shape of Chinese civil society manifests in: the degeneration of social adjustment function; the emergence of new factors in the economic structure; the publicity and affirmation of self-subjectivity and the emergence of various groups of literati and businessmen. The sluggishness of commercial economy in the late feudal society brought great limitations to the formation of early civil society. The influence of Chinese traditional Confucianism made the shape of early civil society of China have its own unique characteristics.
