Modern Chinese ideological performance of the main essence and focus on the embodiment of Confucianism

With the deepening of the enterprise reform, the system shakes and interest adjustment and other contradictions are intertwined, and the openness and activation can not avoid the mixed influx of good and bad thoughts, which will inevitably have a strong impact on the ideological concepts of the enterprise staff, mode of thinking, value orientation, etc., and the enterprise staff is prone to value loss and moral confusion. The soil of the market economy is also prone to the breeding of profit and forgetting justice, profit-oriented, gold-digging and extreme individualism.

Confucianism, after thousands of years of sifting and mending, has become a treasure of traditional thought in the motherland. The spirit of Confucianism emphasizes the cultivation of the body and the cultivation of the character, the internal refinement and the establishment of virtue, and has the effect of correcting the loss of values, the sinking of human nature and the confusion of morality and of setting aside the clouds to see the sun. Confucianism has put forward a system of moral principles that people should possess, such as benevolence, righteousness, harmony, honesty, self-discipline and other spirits, which still occupy an important position in the construction of modern professional ethics. At present, it is necessary to vigorously promote the essence of Confucianism, combined with the characteristics of the times and the actual situation, to reshape the spirit of corporate ethics and condense it into the "soul of the enterprise". The following is a brief overview.

I. Benevolence and righteousness as the essence

"Benevolence" is the core of Confucianism and the foundation of Confucian ethics. The so-called "benevolence" of Confucius includes loyalty, forgiveness, fraternity, wisdom, courage, respect, broad-mindedness, trust, sensitivity, favoritism and so on, which includes almost all the norms of being a human being. "To be able to fulfill the five principles in the world is to be regarded as benevolence". Confucius' authoritative definition of "ren" is <span>'loving people' (Lun Yu - Yan Yuan). The core of ren is benevolence, which means to sympathize, love and help people. Benevolence is the root of virtue, which is embodied in all things and makes all people in the world love each other (under "The Original Goodness"). "Benevolence is the source of love, the moral emotion itself, and "righteousness," "propriety," and "wisdom" are "Benevolence" is the source of love, which is the moral emotion itself. They are different manifestations of moral sentiments, such as the spirit of benevolence, righteousness, harmony, integrity and self-discipline. Confucianism's so-called "filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty and trustworthiness" and "respect, broad-mindedness, trustworthiness, sensitivity and favoritism" are all originated from "benevolence", and are intended to be "harmonious". Harmony". The important purpose of the construction of professional ethics in the enterprise is to establish a harmonious relationship between people and create a caring environment in the enterprise.

Confucianism is noble and advocates interpersonal harmony, stability, unity, and collaboration, i.e., "harmony". Harmony is a dynamic balance in the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, and is the ideal state of corporate ethics. Confucianism advocates intimate interpersonal relationships; it is also recognized by L. Miller (US). Interpersonal intimacy emphasizes that individuals invest themselves in the group in a thorough and trusting manner. The relationship between managers and their subordinates, and between members of the organization is intimate, like brothers and sisters, and maintains a relationship of mutual induction. Today's corporate ethics pursuit of harmony between people, respect for each other as guests, love and mutual assistance in interpersonal relationships, and Confucianism's "people and" ideas are in the same vein. To carry forward the Confucian spirit of love and benevolence, we must take love and benevolence as the basic ethical norms, to guide the enterprise staff to the good, so that unity and harmony within the enterprise, like a family.

In the construction of corporate ethics, combining the Confucian idea of benevolence with modern humanitarianism is conducive to the formation of an atmosphere of respect, trust and love in the enterprise, and is conducive to the creation of a good interpersonal relationship environment in which love is exchanged for love, and devotion is exchanged for gratitude. Thus, all the staff constantly enhance the spirit of selfless dedication, know the spirit of gratitude, enthusiastic service, sincere dedication. The idea of love requires management to adhere to the love, benevolence, kindness, and good treatment of subordinates. Requirements for sincere cooperation between the enterprise staff, mutual love and care, happy to do good deeds. Only in the formation of a mutual respect within the enterprise, friendly and cordial working environment, in order to maximize human potential and organizational vitality.

In business interactions, must also adhere to the virtue of benevolence and righteousness. Confucian business focuses on "peace and prosperity", "and" is "prosperous". For the same industry partners both competition and cooperation, cooperation in competition, cooperation in competition. To adhere to the legitimate means of competition, can not engage in small moves or denigrate competitors, to abandon unethical competitive behavior.

Confucianism advocates respect for the value of all life, respect for the laws of nature, and the maintenance of harmonious and friendly coordinated development of man and nature as the highest moral purpose. In the process of advocating ecological morality, protecting the natural environment and taking the road of sustainable development today, Confucianism's "theory of harmony" and "the unity of man and nature" have a miraculous profundity in their plainness and simplicity.

Enterprises to strengthen the construction of professional ethics, we must be brave enough to assume social responsibility, and seek high values and moral destiny. First of all, enterprises should establish a correct concept of development, take the road of sustainable development, can not deprive future generations of the opportunity and right to survival and development. Secondly, enterprises should share the worries of the country, bravely undertake the social responsibility and historical mission, and insist that the collective interests are subordinate to the national interests. Furthermore, enterprises should actively participate in various public welfare and charitable activities. Will be kind and loving to the most in need of care and love, charity, goodwill to the world.

Enterprise is a profitable unit, and "righteousness", "profit" is fundamentally unified. Righteousness and profit complement each other, each in its own way. Enterprises should be both righteousness and profit, and seek the spirit of the Shishang through. The unity of righteousness and profit as the overall goal of the enterprise.

When righteousness and profit are in conflict with each other and cannot be combined, Confucianism emphasizes the importance of righteousness over profit, spiritual values over material values, the importance of the pursuit of the moral realm, and the importance of human dignity and temperament. "A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way." Enterprises should be righteous before taking, benefit themselves first, and benefit themselves without harming others. "Unrighteous wealth is not to be obtained", not to mention that we should not forget righteousness at the sight of profit; profit is the only thing that matters. In the socialist market economy, enterprises should respect the virtue of benevolence and righteousness, to be the first after their own, the first public after private, the first benefit customers, after their own profit.

Enterprise ethics has a subjective "altruism" and objective "self-interest", the two are dialectical unity. "Altruism is the prerequisite basis for self-interest, and self-interest is the inevitable result of altruism. Eiichi Shibusawa (Japan) also believes that wealth can only be sustained if it is based on benevolence, morality, and correct reasoning ("The Analects and the Abacus"). "Righteousness" is the means and the way to "profit". Enterprise employees in the professional practice of customers as God, the user is responsible for, must be able to win customers, in the fierce competition in the market invincible.

Confucianism to shape the "soul of the enterprise", we need to members of the enterprise focus too much on utilitarian moral mentality to guide to the moral value of the Sung Tak Shangyi, see the benefits of the moral value of the track up to the consciousness of subjectivity to consciously moral spirit up to the self-centered awareness of the enterprise to guide to the collective interests of the enterprise and a high degree of social responsibility up to. A sense of responsibility.

Two, integrity-based

Confucianism advocates "faith", the original meaning of which is "honesty". Kong Yu said, "people do not have faith, can not know it can also." "The letter then people appointed" ("Analects of Confucius - Yang Shou"), that is, to keep the promise of other people are willing to serve you for you to do things. Confucianism believes that integrity is the essence of human nature, the source of heaven.

The core of business ethics is honesty, honesty and trustworthiness. Honesty and trustworthiness is the basis of being a human being, is the law of the enterprise's foundation. Honesty and trustworthiness is the conscience of the enterprise, is the enterprise to the customer, the partners faithfully keep the contract sense of responsibility and sense of justice. Japanese enterprises to pursue the "life-long employment system" is embedded in the managers and employees between the inherent, deep trust and loyalty relationship.

The market economy is a contract economy and a credit economy. To honor contracts and keep promises, to keep one's word, and to be honest is the professional morality that modern enterprises must have, and it is also the basic condition for fair and orderly competition. Enterprises want to make a profit, first of all, we should find out why and how to make a profit. Enterprises should be conscientious about making money, and should obtain the "profit under the sun". Under the conditions of socialist market economy, enterprises should firmly establish the sense of contract and the moral spirit of faithful fulfillment, credibility first, pay attention to business ethics. Against arbitrary destruction of contracts, commercial fraud and faithlessness.

Enterprise members should be honest, faithful, honest, to be frank, keep their promises. To treat customers with sincerity and truthfulness. To abide by the credit, strict performance. Members of the enterprise through self-discipline, self-reflection, self-awareness, from the ideological elimination of "opportunistic motives", reduce "moral hazard". Do not falsify, do not deceive, do not distort the facts, do not listen to biased beliefs. Only honesty and not deceive, heavy contract and trustworthy, consciously maintain fair competition in the market order, to maintain the interests of the social public ****, in order to maintain the credibility and image of enterprises. Fraud, cajoling, words without faith, make money against their conscience, will make the enterprise lose credit, and ultimately will lose the market, lose the fundamental bottom-up dependence.

Three, dedication and joy

Dedication and love is the rational accumulation of Confucian ethics and morality. Confucius praised Zi Chan "*** line himself also respectful, his service also respect" ("Analects - Gongzhi long"). The pre-Qin Dynasty emphasized the establishment of virtue and virtue, high moral integrity, and the building of a successful career. "A gentleman advances his virtue and cultivates his career" ("Qian Jiu San"). Mencius emphasized that "a gentleman starts a business to build a system" ("Mengzi - Liang Huiwang 下"). Entrepreneurship needs to be preceded by dedication and a noble and persistent spiritual pursuit of merit. "Dedication to work and enjoyment of the group" ("Records of Rites - Records of Learning") is also still an important guidance for the education of corporate ethics. Positions and occupations are the basic means and places for individuals to serve and contribute to the society, as well as the basic ways for individuals to realize their ambitions and values. Respecting one's work and loving one's job contains a positive attitude towards the world and the supreme pursuit of benevolence. "Dedication" comes from "love", dedication first need to love the post, dedication to love the post is the unity of patriotism, love of the people and self-respect and self-love, is the unity of the sense of ownership and the sense of service to the people.

As the value of the pursuit of professionalism is the result of the rational choice of reality, it is the main body of professional ethics for the initiative to develop and create the driving force, and to the moral object (post occupation) for the optimization of the target. As a kind of moral pursuit, professionalism should become the ethical norms for modern people to confirm their own value and pursue self-improvement. Dedication to the spirit of connotes the recognition of long-term choice of occupation and the infinite commitment of spiritual beliefs. Therefore, "dedication" is the active choice and conscious pursuit of value of the moral subject, but abandoned the original passive acceptance, leaving behind the blind and confused behavior and primitive inertia. The scale of modern production, the complexity of labor and the trend of high-tech technology requires practitioners to have a high degree of professionalism. This objectively requires enterprise employees to be dedicated to their work, enjoy their work and love their jobs, and have a strong sense of enterprise, responsibility and sense of mission, otherwise they cannot adapt to the requirements of modern labor nature and social development. The Confucian tradition of "respect for work and respect for the road" is undoubtedly an important content of the new era of corporate ethics. It requires employees to be dedicated to their work and love their jobs. Require employees to love their jobs, hard work, hard work is the foundation of hard work, hard work is the sublimation of hard work, is the pursuit of a higher level of value.

Four, self-improvement and self-discipline

Confucianism believes that people should be robust, self-improvement. The Book of Changes reads, "The sky is robust, and a gentleman should be self-improving." People should follow the example of heaven and earth, be robust and active. Confucianism advocates being active in the world, using the world and being productive, striving to be strong, being active and productive, and doing hard work. This positive human philosophy and spirit of participation is consistent with modern enterprises that emphasize the pioneering spirit and sense of participation of all employees. Confucian thought and culture has always advocated the spirit of hard work and endurance, self-improvement and robustness, which is the source of the development of modern enterprises.

To promote Confucianism and reshape the professional ethics of enterprises, it is necessary to cultivate and create the entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement, the master spirit of hard work and the entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance and hard work. Cultivate the sense of responsibility and mission of the enterprise staff, motivate them to work hard, positive and enterprising.

Confucius said: "For benevolence by himself, but by the human section is!" ("Analects - Yan Yuan") the initiative of moral choice lies in oneself, cultivating the virtue of benevolence is entirely one's own business. Xunzi emphasized virtue-based cultivation. The Confucian principle of self-discipline emphasizes the enhancement of the spiritual realm and advocates inner transcendence and rational choice. The Confucian principle of self-discipline is based on human self-restraint. One cannot transcend time and space, but one can transcend spiritually. Cheng Hao's so-called "benevolence is the same as things" and Wang Yangming's "conscience is the spirit of creation". The essence of this is internal transcendence, which is the result of rationality. Through the pursuit of moral value is constantly internalized, with the help of external value paradigm and moral beliefs to sublimate the personality, so that the object subjectification.

The moral precursor has to moralize the bystanders, teach by word and example, and internalize the external social moral principles and moral norms into the subject's internal self-discipline guidelines. Enterprise employees must also strengthen the moral cultivation, cultivate their character. Confucianism proposed prudent self-reflection, reform and other ways of cultivation, in today's view still have important reference value.

It must also be pointed out that Confucianism should be treated with a scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, taking the essence and removing the dross. While promoting Confucianism, it is also necessary to reject the negative factors and moral weaknesses in Confucianism. Such as diffidence, conformity, accidents, egalitarianism, closed and conservative. Especially the concept of patriarchal hierarchy, officialism and sense of privilege. The concepts of competition, efficiency, innovation and democracy are lacking in traditional Confucian thought. Drawing on the essence of Confucianism, compatible with modern civilized moral consciousness, we can continuously enrich and improve the enterprise professional ethics system.
