阿拉伯文化传统中的“重商”倾向

The Trade&Commerce Valued Tendency in Arabic Cultural Traditions

阿拉伯文化传统结构多元、内涵丰富,“重商”倾向是其中重要的价值取向之一。阿拉伯文化传统中“重商”倾向的形成缘于其独特的地理优势、生产方式和伦理导向。阿拉伯半岛沟通东西的地理优势,使其成为天然商业要道,这是产生“重商”倾向的前提;以经商为基础的生产方式,奠定了产生“重商”倾向的基础;伊斯兰经济伦理思想中的“重商”倾向,继承并发展了阿拉伯固有文化传统的“重商”倾向。“重商”倾向在阿拉伯社会的语言、文学、经济等领域有鲜明的体现,“商人”在阿拉伯语中有“聪明人”之意;《一千零一夜》中的诸多经商故事堪为古代阿拉伯商业社会的一面明镜;古代阿拉伯帝国繁盛时期的贸易繁荣不仅体现了阿拉伯文化传统中的“重商”倾向,也进一步强化了“重商”倾向。传统的力量是巨大的,为实现中阿人民真正的“民心相通”,我们应更加重视对阿拉伯文化传统,尤其是其中价值取向的研究,以利于我们在当代构建更具针对性的中阿文明对话与交往体系。
