Confucius's famous saying comes from "The Analects of Confucius: For Politics": "Confucius said: 'Learning without thinking will lead to loss; thinking without learning will lead to peril.'" "Wang" means confusion. Zheng Xuan's note: Wong , as if ignorant of appearance. "Peril" has two meanings: one is danger, doubt cannot be settled. The other is exhaustion, mental fatigue and no gain. It should be interpreted from the past. This sentence can be combined with the chapter "Reviewing the past to learn the new" .Contemporary Yang Shuda commented: "Those who review the past but cannot learn the new are learning without thinking; those who do not review the past but want to know the new are thinking without learning." ("The Analects of Confucius") Confucius first advocated paying equal attention to learning and thinking. His disciples had a profound influence. For example, Zixia talked about learning and thinking carefully, and "The Doctrine of the Mean" talked about learning and thinking carefully. They all believed that learning and thinking should not be neglected. Some people may think that Confucianism and business were incompatible with each other in history. Now we are engaged in "Confucianism" What is the significance of "Business Forum"?

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. As the backbone of traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism has always been the knowledge that helps the country and the world. It not only has far-reaching influence in the ideological and cultural fields, but also in the social economy. The field also has far-reaching influence. For example, the business philosophy of benefiting the world and maintaining health, using justice to benefit, and the business principles of being honest and trustworthy have historically cultivated outstanding businessmen and entrepreneurs like Fan Cun and Bai Kui. And it still has guiding and reference significance for today's social and economic life.

In Confucius's era, the Zhou Dynasty was in decline, and rituals, music, poetry and books were in decline. In order to revive Chinese civilization, Confucius searched up and down and studied the three dynasties. Historical and cultural classics have been sorted out and revised. Their expression in documents is what we know today as the "Six Classics". Confucius taught people with six arts. The six arts are the Six Classics. Confucius wrote in "Poetry", "Shu" ", "Li", and "Yue" are the work of searching, editing, sorting, and deleting, which is what Sima Qian said Confucius "discussed "Poems", "Books", and revised "Li". "Music". 5 This is "statement", not "composition". However, we must pay attention to that Confucius' "statement but not composition" is closely related to his attitude of "faithfulness and love of the ancients". This shows that "statement but not composition" "Not writing" is not a purely formal, methodological concept. In other words, under the premise of "faithfulness and love for the past", "telling without writing" has the significance of a cultural interpretation principle.
