On The Money View Of Scholars In Wei,Jin And Southern Dynasties

In the Wei,Jin and Southern Dynasties,when the ideas were colorful and the commodity economy continued to flourish,the concept of money,as an important dimension of scholar style,also changed subtly with the policy preference of rulers and the stimulation and assimilation of social atmosphere.To perceive the money view of the scholars in the Wei,Jin and Southern Dynasties and the changes between different dynasties,the holders of different money views are divided into four dimensions: money indifference,money worshipper,money open-minded and money repeller,and the specific numbers of the four money views are counted respectively from the Records of the Three Kingdoms,the Book of Wei,the Book of Jin,the Book of Song,the Book of Southern Qi,the Book of Liang and the Book of Chen,and presented in a three line table.In addition,the gentry was an important part of the scholars in the Wei,Jin and Southern Dynasties.The yearning and imitation of the lower gentry to the higher gentry,the rejection and disdain of the higher gentry to the lower gentry constituted the main melody of the scholars’ communication at that time.Therefore,it is necessary to divide the gentry of the holders of various money views.According to the standard of clan,scholars are divided into three levels: humble clan,common clan and high clan.Through the data analysis,it is found that different scholars of different dynasties have different characteristics of money view,and different scholars of different families also show different styles of money view in the change of dynasties.While each dynasty has its own unique view on money,it also has obvious commonness.Money indifference accounted for the vast majority of the total number.Whether in the two Jin dynasties or in the Southern Dynasty,where corruption prevailed,the scholars who were pure and self-defense and did not admire honor and profit were far more than the other three types of money view holders.They were not only the agents of this period,but also the mainstay of people’s survival.Although the concept of money is only one of the wonderful and diverse styles of scholars in the Wei,Jin and Southern Dynasties,with the increasingly important position of money in daily economic life and the combination of various value orientations,the contradiction between the ideal world and real life has a profound impact on the attitude and behavior of scholars,so the study of the concept of money can play a corner of the iceberg to view the society since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.The view of money reflects not only the superficial perspective of scholars’ preference for money,but also thecharacteristics of personality,value orientation,social atmosphere and so on.
