Features: This book systematically and profoundly explores traditional Chinese management culture through the lens of the I Ching (Book of Changes). It offers a broad perspective and rigorous arguments, holding pioneering academic value. The book proposes that the value core of Chinese management culture, centered on the principles of the I Ching, is the harmonious and simultaneous progress of "self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the state, and peace under heaven." This represents a naturally coordinated, systematic state of well-being, encompassing physical and mental health, career success, and social tranquility, ultimately achieving the supreme and beautiful ideal of "unity between heaven and humanity." The brilliance and grandeur of Chinese management culture in its ideological structure, combined with the elegance and refinement within its essence, endow it with a unique aesthetic charm and artistic quality, making it rare to find in other management culture forms worldwide. This ancient culture, with such structure and essence, remains ever-renewing. The text of the book is fresh and beautiful, making it highly readable.
