Features: "The Theory of Five Connections Culture" was proposed by Professor Lin Qiyuan of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences after in-depth research on the reasons for the economic development of overseas Chinese. Its fundamental connotation is that overseas Chinese rely on natural social relationships formed among the people, such as kinship—religious belief relationships, professional connections—common business relationships, and material connections—market exchange relationships, to engage in economic entrepreneurship, accumulate wealth for the Chinese nation, and make Chinese capital one of the richest in the world. This book introduces the fruitful achievements of recent in-depth research on the "Theory of Five Connections Culture" and further expands the new field of research on Five Connections Culture by studying "Material Connections Culture." The purpose of this book is to conduct specialized in-depth research on one of the Five Connections—Material Connections Culture—on the basis of the abundant achievements of extensive and profound research by scholars in recent years. It aims to further expand the new field of research on Five Connections Culture, enrich the new achievements of Five Connections Culture research, and contribute a small part to the construction of this emerging interdisciplinary marginal subject.
