按照司马迁的看法,从春秋战国到西汉前期,是商品经济空前发展的时代。《史记·货殖列传》描绘了那个时代的社会面貌,歌颂了那些“货殖”“贤人”的生财致富之道,论证了发展商品经济的“自然”之理,并探索了其中的一些规律。 According to Sima Qian’s view, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the early Western Han Dynasty, is an unprecedented era of commodity economy. The historical biography of Shilanhu portrays the social outlook of that era, praising the wealth-generating ways of those “sages” and demonstrating the “nature” of developing commodity economy and explored some of the laws.
