宏观经济中的“五行”规律初探
2016-09-07林左鸣
摘 要:“阴阳五行”是一个道术兼收并蓄的哲学科学体系。“五行”中的“木、火、土、金、水”与宏观经济活动中的“大众消费、金融、市场投资、外贸出口、公共投资和消费”五个重要环节的内涵有着十分契合的对应关系;并且可以抽象归纳为五种类型的广义经济消费。这两者中的诸要素(环节)均遵循“相生相克、相乘相侮”的运行规律。在宏观经济的把控和驾驭过程中,只要充分理解并科学运用“生克制化、乘侮胜复”的“五行”规律,就能使其五个重要环节始终处于合理的平衡状态并健康发展。以“阴阳五行”理论观照并应用于宏观经济的研究和实践,应该可以为我国乃至世界经济发展做出贡献。

An Initial Attempt on Macro-economy Study Using the Theory of Wu Xing

Abstract: the theory of Ying Yang (the two opposing forces in nature) and Wu Xing (five elements, i.e. metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) is the Taoist philosophical system of taking in everything that is diverse in nature. The five elements—wood, earth, water, fire and metal are the very equivalents to the five crucial sectors in macro economy--“mass consumption, finance, market investment, foreign trade and export, public investment and consumption”, and can be abstracted as five subdivisions of general economic consumption. The elements (sectors) in Wu Xing (macro economy) observe the natural law and the relationship of “mutually fostering and promoting”, “containing and reducing”. If we can fully understand and act appropriately on the rules of “Wu Xing” –“internal balancing and containing, irrational overcoming and counterproductive acting” between the five elements, we are able to maintain the equilibrium between the five sectors in our macro economy and have them develop in a healthy fashion. Applying the theory of Ying Yang and Wu Xing to macro- economic study and translating it into practical efforts enable us to contribute to Chinas economy and the world economy as a whole.
Key words: the theory of Yin Yang and Wu Xing, macro economy, equivalent, balanced development
“阴阳五行”是中国传统文化的瑰宝,既充满了辩证法的思想,又揭示了事物进化发展的规律。更难能可贵的是,在人类历史上首先提出了“阴阳”概念。将阴理解为信息态,阳为物质态,则这就是最早承认存在自然信息的彻底唯物主义的宇宙观。“阴阳五行”理论开创了中华民族特色的意象思维方法,它既是一个完整的哲学体系,但又不仅限于形而上的思辨。古代以来,不但在天文、地理、农业、医学和工程等自然科学领域有着广泛的应用;甚至对政治、兵法乃至文化艺术等社会科学领域也多有影响,并且作为道德准则来遵循。《尚书》在《甘誓》这一篇中记载,违背五行规律(“威侮五行”)应该作为奉天意讨伐消灭的理由(“天用剿绝其命”)[1]。……
