question 2: what do Confucian businessmen mean? Do you mean our businessmen in Qufu? Thank you, God help. People have been discussing the definition of Confucian businessmen in modern times, and there are many contents that need to be discussed and disputed. Businessman, there is an old saying in China: "No traitor, no businessman, no businessman, no traitor". In people's concept, businessmen are mercenary people, and their only purpose is to maximize profits by whatever means. In the traditional Confucian culture, it is also advocated that "being diligent in teaching children is ashamed of doing business", and Confucius once said that "a gentleman does not talk about benefits". This shows that the formation of the concept of Confucian merchants is embodied in the discussion of the relationship between justice and benefit in ancient China. China's ancient thinkers' views on the relationship between righteousness and benefit can be represented by "benefiting from righteousness". Confucius advocated "speaking profitably" (The Analects of Confucius, Zi Han), opposed "being unjust and rich and expensive" (The Analects of Confucius, Shu Er), and hoped that people would establish the virtue of "seeing what is right" (The Analects of Confucius, Xian Wen). Mencius advocated "why pay attention to profit" and talked about "benevolence and righteousness", but he did not absolutely exclude "profit". He also pointed out that people can only "treat courtesy and righteousness" if they are happy all their lives and avoid death in fierce years (Mencius Liang Huiwang). Then Xunzi made a comprehensive discussion on the relationship between righteousness and benefit. He believed that everyone has two tendencies: good righteousness and good benefit. "Those who are righteous and beneficial have both. ..... On the heavy righteousness is righteousness klee, on the heavy profit is righteousness "("Xunzi. Roughly "), that is, advocate using righteousness to restrict profit. Then, Sima Qian thought that people are good, "the world is bustling, all for profit;" All the soil in the world is beneficial "(Biography of Historical Records and Huo Zhi). Li Gou in the Northern Song Dynasty affirmed the legitimacy of lust, "Is it profitable? Say: People are not born unless they are profitable. Is it impossible to talk about it? " ("Li Gou Collection. Original"), but at the same time, it is emphasized that the premise of expressing benefits and meaning is to conform to the ceremony. Su Xun believes that righteousness is the criterion for regulating the relationship between members of society, and everyone's spontaneous request is bound to be denied, so it is both "suitable for the world" and "inspiring the heart of the world". Since righteousness wants to "sweep the heart of the world", it must be combined with benefit to work. First of all, it should be clear about Confucius' thought that Confucius is the "golden mean" rather than the "extreme way", that is, he does not go to extremes. Confucius's "not talking about profit" is not absolutely not talking about profit, as Mencius said, just not talking about profiteering. Confucius wanted to strike a balance between righteousness and benefit. This is completely different from the so-called "economic man" hypothesis of mercenary in western economics. Confucius' thought of not saying profiteering does not hinder the development of market economy, on the contrary, it can guide the healthy and balanced development of market economy. Because the main problem to be solved in the contemporary market economy is the relationship between justice and benefit, that is, the sustainable development of economic and social balance. To sum up, China's ancient Confucianism advocated the combination of righteousness and benefit, and generally put the benefit of the people first. Moreover, the spirit of Confucian businessmen also contains the sense of social responsibility of self-cultivation and governing people and helping the world through the state. "Benevolence, the heart also; Righteousness, people are also on the road. " ("Mencius. Gaozi Shang"), "The prosperity of politics is in line with the people's hearts; The abolition of politics is against the people's hearts. " China's traditional culture endows businessmen with a broader spiritual world, and the pursuit of maximizing their own interests is only a means. The highest realm of Confucian businessmen's spirit returns to the cultivation of their own virtues and rises to a broad mind for national rejuvenation. Therefore, China's traditional Confucian businessman spirit is the essence of the whole eastern economic management concept, and its theoretical focus lies in its profound philosophical connotation, which promotes the theory of economics to the cultivation of businessmen's virtue. Attach importance to the restrictive role of righteousness and propriety. Righteousness refers to the behavior that conforms to benevolence, while propriety refers to the external expression of benevolence. Confucianism advocates benevolence and propriety, respects the overall harmony and balance, pursues its own interests in the harmony and stability of the whole society, emphasizes the collective interests of the whole society, and finally returns economic development to the ultimate concern for people themselves. Second, the definition of Confucian merchants by various schools There has never been a unified concept for the positioning of Confucian merchants in modern academic circles. Now we collect various definitions and summarize them here: 1. Confucian businessmen are businessmen engaged in commodity management activities under the guidance of Confucian ideas; 2. Confucian businessmen are "businessmen" who combine Confucianism and business, that is, the main economic activities of the market economy that combine the profession of "businessmen" with the ethical varieties of Confucianism; 3. The essential difference between Confucian businessmen and ordinary businessmen is that they attach great importance to business ethics and do not take ill-gotten wealth; 4. Confucian businessmen are divided into broad sense and narrow sense: in a narrow sense, they refer to businessmen who take Confucianism as their code of conduct. Broadly speaking, it refers to the businessmen who have the traditional culture of China and the strengths of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, France and military strategists; 5. Confucian businessmen refer to entrepreneurs with high cultural literacy, Confucian morality and value orientation, self-improvement and innovative spirit; ......> >
