No... It is impossible

In ancient times, the Shang Dynasty was the last people and the last.

I accidentally saw two allusions. One said that Yan Hui, a student of Confucius, was poor and happy because he abided by his duty. And was appreciated by Confucius; and another of his students, Fan Chi, was reprimanded as a "villain" by Confucius because he asked Confucius for knowledge about agricultural technology; another said that Confucius divided students into different levels and strictly " "Teaching students according to their aptitude", and there is not much communication between students at different "levels".

This can be seen in Confucius’s hierarchical thought of “distinguishing the noble from the inferior and devaluing the same and the different”. In his eyes, there are strict status differences between people. Only when everyone behaves in their own way can society be orderly and not fall into chaos. This reminds me of the American philosopher Ch.W. Morris, who said in his book "Signs, Language and Behavior" that identity, as a reflection of the form of human social organization activities, is a typical symbol of social behavior. I'm used to thinking of this as a neutral interpretation of identity. Then, Confucius was obviously a bit "left".

Although the meaning and behavior of a social member are related to the class in which they live, it is inappropriate to equate the understanding of a symbol with that of a living person. Looking back at the identity and mental journey of Chinese private business owners, it can be said that it is extremely difficult. When they were widely criticized many years ago, society's understanding of them was from the perspective of symbols. Nowadays, they are regarded as the core force of China's economy, and their understanding is more from the perspective of economic and social affairs. from a participation perspective.

When emerging from the haze of a symbol, a label, and a face, private entrepreneurs can reflect and blend with all strata of society, and can be elected as representatives of the two sessions to participate in the discussion and decision-making of national affairs. Like He Boquan, Liang Boqiang, and Hu Wenwen in Zhongshan, Guangdong, you can stand on the university forum and make impassioned speeches. You can also go to rural areas to invest and build factories to share the joys and sorrows with the farmer brothers, and the Chinese society mentioned by the sociologist Sun Liping. It is different from "oligarchy at the top and populism at the bottom". This is a sign of social integration.

If Confucius were alive and had the opportunity to be a Confucian businessman and change his career to become a private entrepreneur, I think the internal system and rules of the "Confucius Enterprise" would definitely be very complete and abnormal. Organized, at least the incentives and punishment measures are clear - good employees will be called "gentlemen" by Boss Kong, while "restless" employees will be scolded as "villains". However, it is precisely this kind of law-abiding , will kill the vitality of the enterprise, because it is difficult for a closed-door, hierarchical enterprise to communicate with all walks of life to be familiar with the market and understand the needs of customers.

Naturally, the author does not dare to make fun of Confucius like Zhang Yiwu, a professor at Peking University, who said a few days ago that "one Yao Ming and one Zhang Ziyi are more effective than 10,000 Confucius books" (of course Zhang Yiwu may also Because of the special historical background and personal material, it is difficult for hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period to escape from the trap of "taking names as the leader" and "using names to name oneself". What I want to express and advocate Yes, whether there is an interactive mechanism that promotes integration among the business community, academia, and the public is one of the signs of the health of the values ??of an era.

Grasping the "degree" of interaction and integration is also a major test for Chinese private entrepreneurs. In the United States, some people summarize the various industries and occupations in society into three categories: red, yellow, and black. Red represents the official way; yellow represents the business way; black represents the academic way. The three paths are clearly distinct and do not compete with each other. Even if the path is changed midway, the game rules of the new path will be strictly adhered to. Regrettably, many Chinese private business owners wanted to test the waters in all three ways, but ended up getting their shoes wet, losing more than they gained, and even went to jail.

As the originator of "learning and excellence leads to officialdom", Confucius naturally had a stronger habit of this. He was originally focused on politics. As Zhang Hengqu said in the Song Dynasty, Confucius was determined to "establish a mind for the heaven and earth, and a destiny for the livelihood of the people." But when his benevolent path failed and his dreams could not be fulfilled as he grew old, he resolutely gave up politics and became a teacher, and spent his days in the artistic conception of "never tired of learning and teaching". Although the objective factors in this are not small, they are still worth learning from China's private entrepreneurs - although they need to integrate with all social strata, they should not abandon the basics and look at the higher mountains. 4. Which ancient texts are suitable for companies to read early?

"The Analects" is one of the classic works of the Confucian school, compiled by Confucius's disciples and his disciples. It is mainly in the style of quotations and dialogues, recording the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, and embodies Confucius' political opinions, theoretical thoughts, moral concepts and educational principles. Together with "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Mencius", "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn", they are also called the "Four Books and Five Classics". The current edition of "The Analects" contains twenty chapters.

Confucius said: "Isn't it true to say that one should learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends from afar? If a person doesn't know and is not stunned, isn't he a gentleman?"

Youzi said: "It is rare for a man to be filial to his younger brother, but like to offend his superiors; it is rare for a man to be filial to his younger brother, but to be fond of causing trouble instead of his superiors. A gentleman is committed to his roots, and the Tao is born from his foundation. He who is filial to his younger brothers is the basis of benevolence! ”

Confucius said: “Knowledge and beauty are the most beautiful words!”

Zengzi said: “I have to examine myself three times: Have I been unfaithful in my plans? Have I not trusted my friends?” "Don't you get used to it?"

The Master said: "A country with a thousand chariots should respect things and be trustworthy, be economical and love others, so that the people can live in good time."

Confucius said: " A disciple should be filial when he enters, and a younger brother when he leaves. He should be sincere and trustworthy, love others universally, and be kind to others. If he has the ability to do something, he should study literature. "

Zi Xia said: "A wise man changes his appearance; he serves his parents. , be able to do your best; serve the king, and be worthy of your own life; make friends and keep your word, even if you say you have not learned it, I will definitely call it learning."

The Master said: "A gentleman is not important. If you are not powerful, your learning will not be solid. If you are loyal and trustworthy, if you have no friends who are inferior to yourself, don't be afraid of changing your behavior."

Zeng Zi said: "Be careful to pursue your goals, and the people's virtue will be strong."

Zi Qin asked Yu Zigong: "Master, when it comes to establishing a state, you must hear about its government and ask for it, or should you give it to it?" Zigong said: "Master, you are gentle, good, respectful, thrifty, and give way to gain. What is the Master's pursuit of?"

The Master said: "When the father is alive, observe his ambition; when the father is gone, observe his conduct; he has not changed his behavior in three years. Tao can be called filial piety."

Youzi said: "The purpose of etiquette is harmony. It is impossible to do it with etiquette."

A disciple said: "Trust is closer to righteousness, and words can be restored. Respect is closer to etiquette, and it is far away from shame, and it can also be respected. "

Confucius said: "A gentleman who has nothing to eat and nothing to live in, and who is quick in his affairs and careful in his words, can be said to be eager to learn."

Zigong said: "How is it to be poor without flattery, or to be rich without arrogance?" Confucius said: "Yes. It is not as if you are poor and happy, but you are rich and good at courtesy." Zigong said: ""Poetry" It says, "It's like cutting, it's like polishing." What do you mean by "giving"? >

Confucius said: "If you don't worry about others, you don't know yourself; when you worry, you don't know others."
