When did China people put forward the idea that peace is the most important thing?

A: As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, China people put forward that "harmony is the most important thing".

First, the ideological origin and connotation of "harmony is precious"

1. the ideological origin of "harmony is precious"

China is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, which has produced a splendid culture with a long history. It provides many useful resources for the progress and development of social civilization and contains rich management ideas. China advocated "harmony" since ancient times. Confucius said that "harmony is the most important thing", Mencius also said that "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony", and Xunzi believed that "everything can survive only if it has its own harmony". Nowadays, in our country, the concepts of "harmony makes money", "harmony makes everything" and "harmony makes everything" have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

2. The connotation of "harmony is precious"

Confucian management culture attaches great importance to "harmony". So what is "harmony"? Shi Bo said, "Let him be the sum of others." Jia Yi said: "Tao is the sum of rigidity and softness." In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan Ying thought that "harmony" meant "helping the poor so that they can live" (Zuo Zhuan in the Twenty Years of Zhao Gong). The "economy" here means "increase"; "Drain" means to reduce. Shortcomings should be increased and redundancies should be reduced. Confucius further elaborated: "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are the same but not harmonious." (The Analects of Confucius Lutz) "Harmony without difference" has become a principle that people should follow when dealing with everything. On this basis, later Confucianism put forward the concept of "neutralization": "Anyone who is in China is also the foundation of the world; He who is in harmony is also in the world. Neutral, the status of Heaven is awkward, and everything breeds. " (The Doctrine of the Mean)

Second, China's ancient management thought

China is an ancient civilization with a long history, with a recorded history of over 5,000 years. China had management practices that are still valuable today, and long-term management practices have produced rich management ideas.

1. About China's ancient famous management thought.

There are many ancient thinkers in China, with rich management thoughts, among which the management thoughts of Lao Zi, Confucius, Shang Yang, Mencius, Sun Zi and Guan Zi are the most representative.

(1) Laozi's Thought

Laozi was the founder of Taoism in the pre-Qin period. In his ideological system, there are not only profound philosophical thoughts, but also social and state management thoughts involving politics, economy, culture and military affairs. Many thoughts, such as "Tao is natural" and "governing by doing nothing", have had a far-reaching impact on the development of management thoughts at home and abroad.

(2) Confucius' thoughts

As the founder of Confucianism, Confucius' thought of ruling by virtue with benevolence as the core, propriety as the criterion and harmony as the goal is the essence of his management thought, which has become the mainstream of China's traditional thought.

(3) Mencius' thought

Mencius is a direct descendant of Confucius' thought and the most important representative of Confucian school after Confucius. He is honored as "Asian sage" by later generations and can be called the ideological and cultural giant of the Chinese nation. Mencius' management thought is an important part of Mencius' ideological system. His view of human nature, the management principle of "benevolent government" and the thought of "keeping fit and keeping the family in harmony" have made important contributions to the perfection and development of China's management thought.

(4) Sun Tzu's thoughts

Sun Tzu was a famous strategist in ancient China, and his military thoughts and management thoughts were mainly reflected in his masterpiece The Art of War. Many foreign university teachers, students and entrepreneurs study the Art of War as a management work. Defeat the enemy's soldiers without fighting, strive for the world, take the people by surprise, and focus on the people.

(5) the concept of tube

Guan Zi was an outstanding politician, strategist and thinker in ancient China. He assisted Qi Huangong for 40 years, and made outstanding achievements, which made Qiang Bing extremely rich and helped Qi Huangong realize the ideal of dominating the vassals. His "people-oriented" thought, the development and innovation spirit of "keeping pace with the times", paying equal attention to both ability and political integrity, and the selection criteria of both ability and political integrity all embody eternal wisdom.

2. "Harmony is precious" is the thought of various schools.

From Mencius' thought of "harmony between people", it is pointed out that "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as the harmony between people" (Mencius Gongsun Chou). He also believes that only by implementing benevolent policies can people achieve peace. Laozi of Taoism also attaches great importance to "harmony". He said: "Tao gives birth to one, life gives birth to two, life gives birth to three, and life gives birth to everything." Everything is negative and holds yang, thinking that it is harmonious. (Chapter 42 of Laozi) He also thinks that harmony is the function of Tao. The reason why Tao can give birth to all things is that Tao contains two opposite and complementary aspects, Yin and Yang, which sway and interact with each other, forming the harmony of all things in the universe. "Harmony" is the essence of the universe and the foundation of the existence of all things in the world. In addition, Mohist, Legalist and Military strategists also discussed the idea of "harmony". This shows that. Harmonious culture is the core of China's traditional culture, and the idea of "harmony is the most important" occupies a very important position in our traditional thought. The traditional concept of "harmony, harmony, equality, goodness, harmony and neutralization" has become people's values, which invisibly affects people's thoughts and behaviors.

Thirdly, the practical significance of the management thought of "harmony is precious" to today's society and enterprises.

The idea of "harmony" occupies a very prominent position in the profound traditional culture of China. Harmony is the core of Confucian culture in China, and harmonious culture is the essence of China people's thoughts. Establishing a "harmonious" organization is an important part of building a harmonious society. Pursuing the same value, an open and democratic organizational atmosphere, a scientific and strict management system and the integrity concept of both internal and external cultivation are the modern characteristics of a harmonious organization. To build a harmonious organization, we need to start from three aspects: organizational structure, organizational management system and organizational culture. [Author's Abstract]

1. the significance of the management thought of "harmony is precious" to the construction of a harmonious society

(1) The importance of building a harmonious society

The concept of "harmonious society" was put forward many years ago, but it only took root in people's hearts in recent years. Social harmony is the essential attribute of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the reform and opening up, China has made great progress in promoting social harmony. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers is related to the overall situation of building a well-off society in an all-round way and must always be the top priority of the whole party's work. Therefore, we must speed up the development of rural economy and raise the income level of farmers. This is of great significance to promoting social harmony.

(2) the basic ideological guarantee of building a harmonious society

The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward building a harmonious society as a very important topic, which shows that China leaders have deeply realized this. In particular, they put the vital interests of farmers first. There are nearly 800 million people in rural areas of China. How to solve the livelihood problem of farmers is very important, and it is also the key to build a harmonious society. Hu Jintao's report was reported in Lianhe Zaobao. An editorial in the newspaper pointed out that in the past few years, the central leading collective with Hu Jintao as the general secretary has highlighted the ideas of "people-oriented", "people-oriented" and "harmony is the most important" in governing the country, which made people have greater expectations for China after the 17th National Congress. In this case, China, with such a huge peasant population, is full of expectations for the 17th National Congress, putting the practical interests of farmers at a very important height and adding a lot of weight to the construction of a harmonious society.

2. The application of the management concept of "harmony is precious" in modern enterprise management.

(1) The importance of the management idea of "harmony is precious" to enterprises.

In modern enterprise management, the concept of emphasizing harmony should be applied to the interpersonal relationship management of enterprises. The interpersonal relationship of modern enterprises is quite complicated, including the relationship between enterprises, the relationship between employers and employees, the relationship between L-level and subordinates, and the relationship between colleagues. These relationships become more complicated because of people's different values, interests and life experiences. Under such a complicated background, how to adjust various relationships becomes very necessary and important. Harmony is a good way to adjust these relations. If any one of these relationships can "attach importance to harmony", then the whole management system will achieve the ideal goal of management-"harmony between people". Because of the harmony between people, people can communicate and understand each other, people's needs can be met, contradictions can be resolved, and any problems can be solved.

(2) Illustrate the practical significance of the management concept of "harmony is precious" to enterprises.

Kōnosuke Matsushita, known as the "God of Management" of Panasonic, once attached importance to the role of "harmony" in enterprise management. He said: "the success of the cause lies in harmony with people"; "The most important thing for a group of people to do things together is that Qi Xin works together and is United as one"; Whether the company can unite and work towards the goal is the key to the success or failure of the enterprise. Confucian benevolence is of great practical significance for establishing harmonious interpersonal relationships, enhancing the feelings between employees and between employees and enterprises, and building corporate culture. Some countries in Asia, such as Japan and Zhangzhou "Four Little Dragons", have inherited Confucianism, regarded "harmony is precious" and "harmony is precious" as important business principles, and formed a "people-oriented" management thought, which has strongly eliminated people's concern, love and respect for the good news and attached importance to people's enthusiasm and creativity in the whole business process. China's Confucianism has a wide influence on Japanese business circles. Many entrepreneurs regard Confucianism as their business creed and principles, such as people-oriented, meritocracy and harmonious coexistence with others. Japanese enterprises attach great importance to the role of people in enterprises, are good at attracting talents, pay attention to the training of employees, and try their best to retain talents, so that employees have a great sense of belonging to the enterprise and cultivate team spirit. Specific operation: Many Japanese enterprises implement lifelong employment system, annual merit system, joint stock and other ways to strengthen employees' loyalty and sense of belonging. Because the employees of the enterprise have the same loyalty to the enterprise, therefore, for the benefit of the enterprise and the same goal for everyone, the employees of the enterprise have a harmonious relationship and go to Qi Xin. Kōnosuke Matsushita, a Japanese entrepreneur and "God of Management", once said: "When a group of people work together, the most important thing is that Qi Xin works together. A joint group of 50 people is much stronger and more successful than a mob of 65,438+000. " Japanese enterprises have played an important role in the world economy, which is China's traditional Confucianism. The success of Japanese enterprises is obvious to all, and their leading position and outstanding contribution in the world economy cannot be denied. In the short period of more than 30 years after the war, the important fact that the Japanese people built Japan from the ruins into one of the world powers further proved the practical guiding role of Confucian people-oriented thought in economy.

Fourth, summarize the full text.

Based on the above arguments, it shows that the management thought of harmony is of great significance to the society at that time, to today's society and enterprises, especially in the era when China is rising by leaps and bounds. We should pay more attention to the management idea of valuing harmony, and both countries and enterprises should have a "harmonious" heart to face all opportunities and challenges. Only in this way, as individuals and enterprises, can we.
