Abstract: When Confucius found disparity existing in the soical distribution system during the Spring and Autumn Period,he protested that it was not right to go on enlarging hthis disparity.With a view to achieving the goal of running he also advocated that individual consumption be promoted.He regarded men's material disires as natural and reasonable.And,he himself made a living by selling knowledge.At the same time,he also stressed that it was necessary to control one's material desires,advocating a life outlook of viewing spirit above material so as to purify people's souls and heighten their feelings towards each other.In this sense,it is of significance to do further research on confucias' consumption economic viewpoint,because it can help people set up a correct consumption outlook.
