《管子.轻重》是我国古代经济史上的重要文献,其著作年代的研究,是近百年来学界广泛关注的课题之一。上世纪80年代以前,“汉代说”占主流地位;80年代以后特别是90年代以来,学界逐渐倾向于“战国说”。“汉代说”的流行,无疑受到“疑古”思想的影响;近年来“战国说”得到普遍认可,与“走出疑古时代”的学术思潮密切相关。 “Guanzi, severity” is an important document in the history of ancient China’s economy. The study of the years of his works is one of the topics that has drawn a great deal of attention in the past century. Before the 1980s, “Han Dynasty ” said the mainstream status; since the 1980s, especially since the 90 ’s, academics tend to “Warring States say ”. The popularity of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly influenced by the thought of “doubting ancient times.” In recent years, “Warring States” has been universally accepted and closely related to the academic trend of “going out of the ancient times”.
