Shibusawa Eiichi's "The Analects of Confucius and Abacus" is a time-honored book、Works with transnational significance。The so-called cross-era,Not only means that it still has certain guidance for people’s lives today,It also means that it profoundly demonstrates the leap-forward development of the East Asian world with Confucianism as the main spiritual content from classical agricultural civilization to modern industrial and commercial civilization。The so-called transnational borders,Refers to the model of transformation of ancient and modern civilizations it represents、A typical example of the integration of ethics and mobile bet365,Not only valuable to Japanese society,It has more reference significance for the East Asian world。
If Confucian culture represented by Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties is the pinnacle of thought and the main spirit of East Asian civilization in modern times,Then when this civilization encounters the impact of modern Western civilization,How to achieve your own transformation and development,This is the fundamental problem of this civilization。Shibusawa Eiichi's "The Analects of Confucius" and Abacus provides creative answers and explanations to major issues in the modern transformation of East Asian civilization。As Shibusawa Eiichi mentioned many times in the book,Influenced by the pan-moral theory of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties in modern times and some people’s misunderstanding of Confucian classics,Many people believe that mobile bet365 and ethics do not have a positive relationship or are fundamentally opposed。Such a misleading concept,It even became a certain "orthodoxy" in the thought and culture of ancient East Asia to a certain extent。This so-called orthodox emphasis on moral absolutes,And the resulting moral domination of industry and commerce,In-depth structure of China、North Korea、The class structure of Japan and other East Asian countries,The status of the scholar (including warrior) class、The status is much higher than those in industry and commerce。Although after the middle and late Ming Dynasty (16th century),The rapid development of commercial civilization in East Asia,Even the emergence of the germ of capitalism、The prosperity of secularist culture and the improvement of the status of businessmen,But at the national level、Institutional level、Cultural level,The status of scholars is still much higher than that of merchants。The status difference between scholars and businessmen,Identity、In a class sense,It’s more about cultural concepts。In a sense,Science、The distinction between mobile bet365 and the gap between ethics and mobile bet365 behind this distinction,It is a major characteristic of civilization in modern times。
And the modernization that the Western world took the lead,In addition to the prosperity of industry and commerce and the establishment of the democratic system,It has also achieved a huge change in cultural concepts,That is, the profound combination of mobile bet365 and ethics,That is, Max Weber’s core discussion on the relationship between capitalism and Protestant ethics。In Weber’s opinion,The Puritan’s new moral values have brought about a fundamental change in people’s views on economic life,Thus profoundly promoted the development of capitalism and secularization。He also used this sociological perspective of religion,Looking at China、Related issues of India and other civilizations,And believes that these core concepts of civilization cannot promote the development of secularization and capitalism。Weber’s idea shows,Reconstruction of the relationship between mobile bet365 and ethics,It is the ideological concept of modern civilization、A characteristic that is fundamentally different from the classical era in terms of cultural concepts。
For that matter,Shibusawa Eiichi's "The Analects of Confucius and Abacus" is in the East Asian context,A response to Weber’s problem that is rich in theoretical depth and empirical facts。Shibusawa Eiichi joined politics in his early years,But later he decided to abandon politics and go into mobile bet365,Lifelong engagement in industry and commerce,And focus on studying "The Analects"。In this book, he puts his thoughts on the contemporary value of "The Analects"、The integration of "The Analects" and its mobile bet365 behavior、The Analects of Confucius has a rich and extensive understanding of the fundamental significance of industry and commerce、Analysis of depth, especially freshness。Many discussions in the book present the profound connection between ethics and mobile bet365 in both theoretical and practical dimensions,Indicates the moral tradition of East Asia、Cultural concepts can also be related to mobile bet365 civilization、Combined with modern civilization,And realize the connection between ethics and mobile bet365,Even promote mobile bet365 with ethics、Develop ethics through mobile bet365。This way,The Analects of Confucius and the abacus transcended the state of division in modern times,In the modern world, a deep connection that is “too thick to be dissolved” has been realized,In turn, it fundamentally promotes the modern transformation of East Asian civilization。
We know,Realistic problems faced by Japan during the Meiji Restoration,The existing political system has been transformed from the feudal system of the Tokugawa Shogunate to the modern political system of the constitutional monarchy,There are also soldiers (warriors) who have been dissolved and transformed to form a more civilian modern society。Shibusawa Eiichi mentioned it many times in the book,Japan after the change of political system,What is urgently needed is rapid economic development and the renewal of people’s mobile bet365 concepts,His abandonment of politics and mobile bet365,This is the effort in this direction。And he is in mobile bet365 practice,An important attempt is still being made,That is to say, the concept of "Scholar Soul and mobile bet365 Talent" was put forward。“Scholar Soul” refers to the classical civilization in East Asia regarding personality shaping、The knowledge of moral cultivation,"Shangcai" refers to people operating industry and commerce、Develop economy、Modern mobile bet365 capabilities for a prosperous market。The former points to the classical "civilized man",The latter points to the modern "economic man"。In Shibusawa Eiichi’s opinion,"Scholar soul" and "mobile bet365 talent" are not contradictory,And the "spiritual soul" is the foundation that drives the "mobile bet365 talent" to develop better and truly realize themselves,"Shangcai" can let the "spiritual spirit" be implemented into the economy and daily life of the modern world。The combination of the two is not only sufficient for the individual、Long-term development,More beneficial to society、Producing positive effects on the prosperity and development of the country。
Look at it this way,Shibusawa Eiichi's "The Analects of Confucius and Abacus" is not only a best-seller in the general sense,It is also a social science book with ideological, cultural and philosophical significance。As far as best-sellers are concerned,This book had a profound impact on the mobile bet365 ideas and philosophical thinking of later generations such as Kazuo Inamori,Shibusawa Eiichi, as a successful person, treats "The Analects of Confucius" and Abacus、The construction and practical significance of Confucian businessmen were vividly and enlighteningly displayed,In particular, the book’s sincere teachings and enthusiastic guidance to young people are also an important guide for young people to enter society and improve themselves。In addition,Shibusawa Eiichi spends a lot of time in the book talking about the important role of ethics in doing mobile bet365。He cited the many ups and downs he experienced as an excellent entrepreneur as examples,Explain how to use moral strength and character cultivation to overcome difficulties,Shows contemporary readers how to firm up their moral bottom line in the face of difficulties、How to preserve personal dignity in mobile bet365 activities,Thus providing powerful spiritual energy to contemporary people。As a book with thoughts、Culture、Books with philosophical significance,The value and content are as stated above,Shibusawa Eiichi’s own success cases and in-depth reflections,Toward the modern civilization that integrates East and West from ancient East Asian civilization、The connection between the classical moral spirit and the mobile bet365 spirit of modern market economy,Provides vivid elucidation and thoughtful discussion。
It is precisely on the basis of the cross-era significance,It generates value beyond national borders。In a sense,It opened the ideological precedent for the discussion of East Asian ethics and mobile bet365 spirit that was later launched due to the economic take-off of the "Four Asian Tigers",And provides the initial example and earlier text for the discussion of the positive relationship between East Asian ethics and mobile bet365 spirit。This classic text and real case,It also means that it poses an important challenge to Weber’s theory of the relationship between Protestant ethics and capitalism,That is, East Asian ethics with Confucianism as the main content,It can also be modern civilization、The development of modern industry and commerce provides internal ideological motivation、Moral mechanism and cultural core。
Since the 1980s and 1990s,About the relationship between traditional culture and mobile bet365 civilization,Academic circles have conducted full discussions。It should be said,People finally unanimously believe that China’s excellent traditional culture can promote China’s mobile bet365 politics、Economy、Social development has a positive effect。In the course of this discussion,The relationship between Confucian ethics and mobile bet365 civilization、The relationship between traditional morality and market economy, etc.,Always the core issue。In earlier discussion,The success of the “Four Asian Tigers” is East Asian ethics、The mobile bet365 significance of Confucian civilization provides an important basis for argumentation and illustration;With the rapid economic development in China、The society is becoming increasingly prosperous,The positive significance of traditional culture has been discovered by the academic community、Approved。Many discussions on these issues in Chinese academic circles,In a certain sense, it can be regarded as an academic development of Shibusawa Eiichi's "The Analects of Confucius" and Abacus。Because of the relationship between "The Analects" and abacus discussed by Eiichi Shibusawa,Elucidates the relationship between traditional civilization and mobile bet365 civilization,It also presents the possibility and reality of the regional East Asian civilization tradition to forge a path of mobile bet365 civilization,There are various concepts of modernity,Also contains the application of the past to the present、Thinking through ancient and mobile bet365 times。
Therefore,The "Analects of Confucius" and Abacus translated by Professor Wang Zhongjiang, which can be called a "classic translation",As a classic book on East Asian civilization,Always working。In addition to the above-mentioned ideological and cultural significance and life reference value,It is also of great reference and inspiration for the current development of mobile bet365 ethics。Shibusawa Eiichi repeatedly proposed it in "The Analects of Confucius and Abacus",An entrepreneur can only attach great importance to and truly practice the character development guided by "The Analects"、Moral cultivation,Only in order to make lasting benefits from the economic activities you engage in,Only in order to achieve long-term and stable development of your mobile bet365,Only entrepreneurs can achieve rich gains in mobile bet365 and life。In Shibusawa Eiichi’s opinion,Only driven by "The Analects",Only can the abacus ring louder,Otherwise,Abacus’ livelihood is unsustainable。Shibusawa Eiichi’s ideas are very profound,Economic development is inseparable from the basic mobile bet365 ethics and personality quality of practitioners,Otherwise,No trust between buyer and seller,No collaboration between operators and workers,There is no cooperation between enterprises,There is no positive relationship between enterprises and society,Enterprises will become a tool for personal profit,Unable to society、Positive impact on the country。And such a company cannot survive for a long time,In the end, the personal interests of entrepreneurs cannot be truly realized。
