隋唐商贾职业道德生活

The Professional Moral life of Businessmen in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

隋唐时期,经商是直接的谋利活动。虽然传统的贱商观念开始缓慢地有了一些变化,但经商受歧视和抑制的政策和观念仍在广泛传播。当时,多数商贾对义利观能有正确的认识,坚持谋生求利、义中取利、因义用利。同时,商贾普遍认同的治商之道为辛勤坚忍、得财有道、诚实守信。

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, doing business was a direct profit-making activity. Although the traditional concept of despising business began to change, the policies and concepts of discrimination against and suppression of business activities were still widely disseminated. At that time, most businessmen had the right understanding about honesty and the profits, and insisted on making profits in a fair and honest way. At the same time,the businessmen generally acknowledged that they should work diligently and patiently, obtain wealth in fair manners, and be honest and trustworthy.
