秦汉时期以皇室为首的官僚贵族、豪强地主及富商大贾是社会腐朽的寄生阶层 ,而广大劳动人民是社会生产的主体 ,是物质财富和精神财富的创造者。这种封建的生产关系决定了社会两大对立阶级的社会消费表现出不同的状况和特征 ,即地主阶级腐朽、奢侈的寄生性消费与劳动人民的有限消费的对立。我们可以从饮食、服饰器用、住宅园林和婚姻丧葬等人们社会生活消费的几个最基本方面的实际消费状况 ,得到充分的证明。秦汉时期两大对立阶级在社会消费上的对立 ,对秦汉时期社会历史的发展产生了深远的影响 During the Qin and Han dynasties, bureaucratic aristocrats, tyrannical landlords, and wealthy merchants led by the royal family were the socially corrupt parasitic stratums.
