在中国古代史、特别是明清经济史和经济思想史的研究中,“奢侈”是一个经常被提及的现象。现代经济中,“奢侈”这一概念有着明确的内涵,但这很少反映在中国经济史和经济思想史的研究之中。学者们对于“奢侈”的理解在很大程度上仍受到传统伦理观念的深刻影响,也就很难以经济学理论和方法对明清时期中国社会“奢侈”现象的实质及其社会经济影响做出科学分析。现代经济学“奢侈”概念的形成以及对“奢侈”的社会经济影响的认识,也有一个“去道德化”的过程,而在中国经济史和经济思想史学界,这一过程仍未实现。 In the study of ancient Chinese history, especially the Ming and Qing economic history and the history of economic thought, “luxury ” is a frequently mentioned phenomenon. In the modern economy, the concept of “luxury” has definite connotation, but it is seldom reflected in the study of the history of Chinese economy and economic thought. Scholars’ understanding of “luxury ” is still largely influenced by the traditional ethical concepts. It is also very difficult to analyze the essence of social “luxury ” in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and its society by using economic theories and methods Economic impact to make a scientific analysis. The formation of the concept of modern economy “luxury ” and the recognition of the social and economic impact of “luxury ” also have a process of “de-moralization”. In the field of history of Chinese economic history and economic thought, The process is still not realized.
