本文认为中国历史上平均主义思想源于春秋末期的思想家老子 ,而非通常所认为的源于孔子的“均平”思想以及儒家的“大同”理想 ,它成为道家经济思想的重要特点。同时 ,道家平均主义思想通过道教对中国历史上的农民起义以及小农平均主义思想产生了深刻影响。 This paper argues that the egalitarian ideology in Chinese history stems from Lao Tzu, a late thinker in the late Spring and Autumn Period, rather than the Confucian ideals of “equalitarianism” and Confucius “common ground”, which are generally regarded as Confucian ideals. It has become an important feature of Taoist economic thinking. At the same time, Taoist egalitarianism has had a profound impact on peasant uprisings and peasant equalitarianism in Chinese history through Taoism.
