| With the rapid development of Chinese economy, there appear a lot of social problems in the field of the economic life, which need urgently to be handled solidly and accurately by using the Economic Philosophy on the basis of the multidisciplinary cooperation. In that kind of background, more and more attentions are paid to the research of Economic Philosophy. Since there's still a certain distance between the theoretical exploration and the requirement for the reality on the Economic Philosophy with Chinese characteristics, it is a necessity that Economic Philosophy should draw on Chinese traditional culture.Thoughts in"Guan Zi"are broad and profound, which is the earlier ancient book expounding the problems on Economic Philosophy. Guan's thoughts on economy and focus on economic problems in real life have gone beyond the economic field and carried distinctly the philosophical implications.Guan's thoughts on Economic Philosophy are the projection of Qi's cultural value onto the economic field. When Guan's thoughts on Economy are reviewed from the perspective of philosophy, the philosophical concept of"Abiding by the Tao"is discovered to have been revealed sufficiently from it. The idea of"abiding by the Tao", which has summed up Guan's thoughts on Economy in the way of Philosophy, is the theoretical inclination of Qi's idea of enriching people and the very essence of Qi's traditional culture. Furthermore,"abiding by the Tao"is the expression of guiding a matter along its course of development for the dimension of reality, measuring the extents or degrees for the dimension of life and administering the country according to the law for the dimension of development. During its economic development, Qi once was confronted with many problems which cannot be handled only from the angle of Economy. The idea on the degrees of poor and rich and the idea on administration in"Guan Zi"are the reflection of the real economic life in Qi. Guan paid much attention to the gap between poor and rich and managed the administration of bureaucrat teams, which is the important cause that Qi has been prosperous and powerful and people there lived and worked in peace and contentment.The research to thoughts on Economic Philosophy in"Guan Zi"cannot be separated from the guidance from the basic principles of Marxism. By being based on facts and connecting theory with practice, Guan's theories can be developed, on the premises of affirming its modern value of his philosophical thoughts, so as to provide the beneficial theoretical reference to the exploration on Economic Philosophy and the solution of those real social economic problems. |
