An Analysis of Trade Wisdom in China’s Excellent Traditional Economic Culture
Abstract
In the rapid development of economic globalization, international trade has become the most basic carrier of economic exchanges
between countries in the world. As a traditional trading country, the Chinese nation has generated valuable cultural thoughts in trade since
ancient times, which is not only a good medicine to cure the paradox of modernity, but also the cultural soft power in international economic
exchanges. The trade wisdom contained in the excellent traditional Chinese economic culture is the concentrated embodiment of the essence
of the excellent traditional Chinese culture in the secular life. In ancient trade, China has always carried out the “distinction between justice
and interests” and “harmony and symbiosis” throughout the whole process of economic behavior, endowed economic behavior with moral
regulations, realized the unity of secular life and ethical values in the field of human care, and established an excellent ancient economic civilization.
