Shibusawa Eiichi, the founder of corporate organization, known as "the king of enterprise" and "the king of finance", put forward the theory of "Analects of Confucius and abacus", also known as "the unity of economy and morality". These men of insight tried to seek strategy and nutrition from China's Confucianism. They admire the personal cultivation, ethics and interpersonal relationship advocated by Confucianism, so as to construct a new ideological system and promote the modern civilization of society.
