A New View on People-Oriented Economic Thought of Confucius

The people-oriented economic thought of Confucius, originated from the Three Dynasties, is the natural develo-pment of Confucius' thought of benevolence in the economic field. It includes substantial content, such as the view of holding the people in high regard and streamlining governance, tax deduction, preferring frugality to extravagance, developing resources in moderation, the basic principle of honesty and faith, and the view of hoarding and profiteering, with its major concern for benefiting people and enriching the nation. In the context of the new era, abundant research and re-interpretation of the rich connotation of Confucian people-oriented economic thought, creative transformation and innovative development achieved under the circumstances, are significant to the insistence of the vision of people-centered development.
