Is it necessary to advocate Confucianism? Why?

As a symbol of traditional culture in China, Confucianism advocates benevolence, honesty, moderation and self-denial, which promotes the development of feudal society in China, and also enlightens today's enterprise management. This paper mainly discusses the modern value of Confucianism to enterprise management.

First, the essence of Confucianism

Confucianism, as the mainstream of traditional culture in China, has lasted for thousands of years and represents splendid Chinese culture. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was no accident that Confucianism was placed in an exclusive position after the baptism of "burning books to bury Confucianism". This is inseparable from the comprehensiveness and appeal of Confucianism itself, which has deeply influenced the people of China and China society. 1. "Benevolence"-the core value of Confucianism "Benevolence" is the core value concept of Confucianism. Confucianism believes that people have four hearts: sadness, shame, rebellion and right and wrong, that is, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom. Among them, "benevolence" is the core and foundation, emphasizing that a person can define himself only in the relationship with others, and only through "two people" can he define "one person", and benevolence is "two people", so "benevolence is also". Confucianism believes that people must first have a warm, loving, grateful, modest and kind heart, that is, a kind heart. This attitude should be reflected in basic interpersonal relationships, especially with relatives and friends. Secondly, we should promote kindness, enrich individuals and try our best to make the world harmonious. Kindness and kindness are the core of the meaning of life. The reason why Confucianism can be accepted by countless educated and uneducated people for thousands of years and become its core value belief is because it points out the fundamental needs of human nature. Although social civilization has evolved rapidly, if we can't grasp the core value of life, life will inevitably get lost. Confucianism is concerned with how to understand and meet the core and deepest needs of human nature. The core value advocated by Confucianism belongs to the principle of value, and its focus lies in kindness, respect for heaven and cherish things. This kind of value refinement is needed by any society. 2 The popularity, life and appeal of Confucianism The reason why Confucianism has popularity, life and appeal lies in its adaptation to the traditional small-scale peasant economic base in China. The dependence of agricultural civilization on land not only did not cut off the blood relationship with the clan, but inherited and continued it. Due to the transcendence and hierarchy of consanguinity, the collective (family) formed by consanguinity is a three-dimensional hierarchy. Father and son have absolute control over young people, and there is no equality between them. In addition, consanguinity is transcendental, transcendental and beyond the will, and no one can change, get rid of and surpass it. Only by acknowledging, obeying and obeying this relationship can individuals gain their own status and interests. This is the foundation of the family system in China. Confucianism emphasizes that "filial piety" is the basis of "benevolence", which is not only a reflection of the patriarchal social system based on blood relationship, but also a maintenance of this patriarchal system: adhering to the "difference between people and birds" and moral education is conducive to Dunhua social atmosphere and maintaining normal social order. Affirming the rationality of the hierarchy of respecting the monarch is the recognition of imperial power and feudal hierarchy. At the same time, adhering to the idea of "great unification" has satisfied people's feelings of nationalism and patriotism. Taking the "golden mean" as the supreme virtue in the thinking path requires "knocking at both ends and grasping at the end" and has the advantage of being good at persistence. Finally, advocate the inner saint and the outer king. I hope to use my own theory to educate and transform the society and tidy up the family. Governing the country and leveling the world advocates active accession to the WTO: at the same time, we advocate correcting ourselves first and sticking to our own practices. The connotation of Confucianism has the characteristics of popularity, life and power. It can meet the needs of different social classes and interest groups, so it is easy to be recognized by the society.

Second, the modern value of Confucianism to enterprise management

The modern value of Confucianism to enterprise management mainly includes: people-oriented, righteousness-oriented, morality-oriented, benevolence-oriented, diligence and self-discipline Shang Xian.

1 People-oriented

Confucianism advocates that "everything is born and only people are precious". "People are expensive, the society is second, and the king is light". Governing the country should be based on enriching the people. "The people help the foundation and the foundation is solid." The people are the foundation of the country. Only when it is fundamentally consolidated can the country be at peace. Modern economy and science and technology have created enormous material wealth, but some people often only pay attention to the growth of wealth and ignore the people who create wealth. They don't understand that white people are the purpose. In enterprise management, there is also a tendency to see things but not people. In enterprise management, we should be "people-oriented" and attach importance to people's enthusiasm and creativity.

2. Unity of justice and benefit.

Confucius Day: "Be brave, sacrifice one's life for righteousness": Gouzi Day: "Those who are righteous before benefiting will be honored, those who are righteous will be humiliated, those who are honored will always know, those who are humiliated will always be poor, and those who know will always control others". Confucianism takes righteousness as an important value orientation. It doesn't take ill-gotten gains. To oppose it is to be rich and heartless. People have different opinions on how to understand the relationship between righteousness and benefit. Some people strongly criticize the Confucian thought of valuing righteousness over profit, thinking that it hinders the development of market economy. In fact, the "righteousness" advocated by Confucianism refers to the overall interests, the interests of the nation and the country. Emphasize that there is a road to making money, and self-interest does not harm others. Confucius said, "Those who are rich and expensive will get what they want. It's not what they got. It is everywhere. " It can be seen that Confucius did not oppose getting rich, but advocated getting rich with confidence. In the days of market economy development, everyone is pursuing the maximization of personal interests, and every enterprise is also pursuing the maximization of profits, thus forming an internal driving force to promote economic development. This is a positive factor and must be affirmed. However, we should not overemphasize anything. If we only talk about utility, or even pay attention to money, we will make huge profits by hook or by crook, which is not conducive to the development of the enterprise itself and the normal operation of the economy. Confucian emphasis on "righteousness" can just make up for this deficiency. In enterprise management, some entrepreneurs have borrowed this idea from Confucianism, clearly put forward the business purpose of "a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely", emphasized the combination of pursuing profits and serving the people, and established a good corporate image.

3 serve people with virtue.

Confucianism advocates being kind to people. In the family, we should be "kind to our father, filial to our son, kind to our brothers, loyal to our husbands, obedient to women, loyal to gentlemen and loyal to the people" and form a harmonious and warm family relationship. As far as the whole society is concerned, Confucianism advocates "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and flexibility", which is an important foundation for social stability. Confucian benevolence is of great practical significance for establishing harmonious and friendly interpersonal relationships and enhancing the feelings between employees and between employees and enterprises. Some enterprises regard "harmony is precious" and "harmony is precious" as important management principles, and emphasize care, love and respect for people in the whole management process, emphasizing humanistic management, which is a major feature of Oriental management. It is very necessary that modern enterprise management mainly emphasizes system and law. However, Confucianism emphasizes the importance of ethics and advocates the cultivation of human virtue and a good society, so that people can do what they should do according to moral standards. Such as Confucius Day: "For; Politics is based on virtue. For example, Beichen, who lives there, is surrounded by stars. " "Tao is based on politics, and qi is punished. People are free from shame. The Tao is based on morality. Qi is based on courtesy and is ashamed and qualified. " Mencius said another day: "Yes; Those who are convinced are not convinced; Those who serve people with virtue are happy to serve them. " Obviously, institutions, laws, wives, laws and norms should complement each other and attach equal importance to them. As an invisible binding force, ethics is indispensable for modern enterprise management.

4 take benevolence by faith

Honesty is an important part of Confucian traditional virtues and the basic principle of being a man. Then. Confucianism believes that "an honest man. The exhaustion of the world is also. " "The pursuit of wealth will be justified, and the injustice will be hanged; Himself. " Advocate sincere treatment, honesty and dedication, keeping promises and stressing credibility. "You keep your word, but your actions bear fruit", "If you don't obey the rules, it's no different". Honesty is not only a traditional virtue, but also a way of doing business on behalf of history. In the past, many small companies in China took "genuine, honest and trustworthy" as their business creed. Practise fraud, deceive customers, and fail to perform; Contractual enterprises cannot exist for a long time. Mr. Bao Yugang, known as the king of ships in the world; The way to success is to "make a deal with reputation" Seek development with credibility. " In fact, "honesty is; Ben. Credit first has become the motto of many entrepreneurs. At the same time, so is honesty; Spiritual pillars of modern market economy: 5. Diligence and thrift;

Confucianism has always advocated diligent governance and frugality. The beauty of diligence and thrift of the Chinese nation is very influential in the world. Every Chinese descendant. No matter how much you study, go back to Mexico and call yourself Jia in business. * * * is characterized by being diligent, hardworking, hard-working and relatively simple, and advocates economy everywhere. Confucianism believes that thrift is the wife factor and happiness factor of soul purification. It not only makes people stretch their bones and muscles, but also makes people stretch their mood. People who work often and like to work are more open-minded and cheerful, and happiness is always there. The values of diligence and thrift meet the requirements of modern management. Any enterprise must carefully calculate and reduce costs in order to achieve high efficiency. ;

6 be strict with yourself

Confucianism advocates that people should be upright in front of themselves, be strict with themselves and be lenient with others. Its body is not straight. Although it is disobedient, "if you are safe in the world, you must first correct yourself: you can control yourself, and then you can treat people;" It can cure diseases and save lives, and then it can be used for it. In terms of strict self-discipline, Confucianism also put forward the cultivation method of "cautious independence". These methods emphasize that to manage others well, we must first manage ourselves well; If you want to be upright, you must be upright. As a manager, we should set an example in talent, ability, morality, temperament and style, and be strict with ourselves. This is also the basic quality that modern enterprise managers should have. 7. The focus is on Shang Xian.

Confucianism advocates "the dignity of teaching", respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching, and attaching importance to talents. "The rise and fall of a country depends on talents. Success depends on talents, and industry depends on talents ",which fully expounds the importance of talents. The way of employing people emphasizes that "Xu Shi's style must be realistic, and the skills of employing people must be used to the best of their abilities", "No one is perfect without gold" and "employing people as tools, each taking its own advantages" and so on. These discuss the importance of attaching importance to talents and sages in enterprise management.

In a word, Confucian culture and modern enterprise management are mutually independent and influential. In the turbulent 2 1 century, Confucian culture will have a far-reaching impact on world economic life.
