Art of Tiaojun:Two Confucian Models of the Well-Field System and Their Significance
For a long time,the Confucian theory of the well-field system has been labeled as outdated and pedantic.In contrast,this article attempts to show the significance of the study of the well-field system.To this end,it adopts a perspective of classic hermeneutics.Modern scholarship regards the well-field system as a land system in the West Zhou dynasty,and thus ignores the value pursuits behind it.Indeed,the well-field system in Confucian classical works manifests itself in two models,which refer to different conceptions of economic equality.One is the balance between work and leisure,while the other is the balance between taxation and corvee.
