民本思想是先秦儒家的基本政治思想,这一思想的内涵是“民有”、“民享”、“君治”。君治必然要求尊君,因而尊君理论是先秦儒家民本思想的重要组成部分。先秦儒家的尊君理论是一种民本主义的尊君理论。基于民本思想的视野,先秦儒家的尊君理论主张有限尊君,即尊君而不谄君、尊君而不抑臣、道高于君。民本主义尊君理论反映了先秦儒家在寻求变革社会的同时对权威与秩序的重要性的思考,这种思考对当前构建社会主义和谐社会不无启示。 The people-based ideology is the basic political thought of pre-Qin Confucianism. The connotation of this thought is “private ownership”, “public enjoyment” and “monarchy”. Monarchism necessarily requires respect for the monarch, so the theory of respecting the monarchy is an important part of the Confucianism-based thought in the pre-Qin period. Pre-Qin Confucianism is a supreme-minist theory of respect for humanism. Based on the view of the people-based thought, the pre-Qin Confucian respect for the sovereign theory advocates limited respect for the king, that is, respect for the king rather than the king, respect for the king rather than the minister, the road above the king. The theory of supremacy of capitalism reflects the thinking of pre-Qin Confucianists on the importance of authority and order while seeking to change society. This kind of thinking can not but inspire the current construction of a harmonious socialist society.
