处于国弱民穷的近代中国的严复,从东西方对奢俭不同态度的比较中揭露了中国传统黜奢崇俭观的保守性。在对中国传统“黜奢崇俭”伦理观和中国近代“黜俭崇奢”思潮的反思与批判中,严复提出了全新的奢俭观。严复的奢俭观不但在近代社会具有重要启蒙作用,在当代中国也具有不可忽视的价值。 In a comparison of different attitudes toward luxury and the frugality between East and West, Yan Fu, who is in a weak state in China and in modern China, revealed the conservative nature of the traditional Chinese concept of Chong and Chong. In the reflection and criticism of the traditional Chinese ethics of “extravagant adulteration” and the thought of “frugality and luxury” in modern China, Yan Fu put forward a new concept of luxury and frugality. Yan Fu’s notion of frugality not only plays an important enlightenment role in modern society, but also has a value that can not be neglected in contemporary China.
