Confucianism in Chinese business culture

放大图片 放大图片
The recognized ethical belief system of Confucianism is based on the teachings and writings of the 6 th century BCE philosopher Confucius. Emphasis is placed on the concept of relationships and the elements of responsibility and obligation. This Chinese philosophy remains a vital cultural factor in the development of Chinese society and is still effective in Chinese business culture today in the preservation of surface harmony and collective good.

Confucianism is a "code of conduct" to live this life, and it has had a tremendous impact on how the Chinese live their lives... with a great influence in Chinese government, education, and attitudes toward correct personal behavior and the individual duties to society.

No church nor clergy; no teaching on the worship of God or gods, or life after death. Confucianism is actually a philosophy of life, not a Religion... like Buddhism.
Founded in China by Kung-futze, "master Kung", known as Confucius (551-479 AC).
