摘　　要：通过对明中期以后商品经济较东南落后的北方下层民众涉及商业行为的观念进行初步考察说明:中国下层民众的伦理观念体系与近代意义上的商业行为之间并没有任何严重的障碍,而儒家思想与商业伦理之间反而存在严重的紧张。对于下层民众说来,卷入商业活动只是条件问题,而对于严肃的儒家人物则是自我变异的问题。韦伯主义的方式因为对儒家思想与中国社会关系,乃至对中国社会多样化特征的误解而不可能回答传统中国商品经济没有自行转为近代形态的原因问题,也不能恰当地回答中国宗教文化伦理的特点问题。By examining commercial activity related value systems of the commoners in Northern China, this paper argues that there was actually compatibility between the value system of the Chinese commoners and modern commercial activities. On the other hand, there was serious tension between Confucian ideology and modern commercial ethics. To the commoners, to become involved in commercial activity was merely a question of social condition, while it demands self-transformation to the serious Confucians. Because of its ignorance of the diversification of Chinese society, Weberian scholars failed to find out the characteristics of Chinese religious and cultural values.
