Amid the general explosion of interest in the place of morality in the global economy, recent scholarship on Japan has examined the emergence of a distinctively Japanese mode of business ethics in the modern era. A multiyear project sponsored by the Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Foundation examined the efforts of the entrepreneur Shibusawa Eiichi (1840-1931) to develop a Confucian-inspired form of ethical capitalism. It resulted in the production of two volumes: one in Japanese published in 2014 and an English version published in 2017.1 Janet Hunter’s contribution to these volumes argued that Shibusawa’s ideas, while drawing on Japanese sources, were also part of an international discourse on the norms of commercial behavior that were sparked by the nineteenth century expansion of commerce in Britain and the industrializing West. A key concept in that broader discourse was “commercial morality,” a term used until the early twentieth century to describe what today is more commonly referred to as business ethics.

随着人们对道德在全球经济中的地位的普遍兴趣激增,最近关于日本的学术研究考察了现代日本独特的商业道德模式的出现。涩泽荣一纪念基金会(Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Foundation)发起了一个为期多年的项目,研究企业家涩泽荣一(1840-1931)为发展儒家思想启发的伦理资本主义所做的努力。这导致了两卷书的出版:一卷是2014年出版的日文,另一卷是2017年出版的英文版。珍妮特·亨特(Janet Hunter)对这两卷书的贡献是,Shibusawa的思想虽然借鉴了日本的资源,但也是19世纪英国和工业化的西方商业扩张所引发的商业行为规范的国际话语的一部分。在那个更广泛的讨论中,一个关键概念是“商业道德”,这个术语直到20世纪初才被用来描述今天更普遍被称为商业道德的东西。在“商业道德缺失”中?日本在全球商业伦理辩论中的地位

During the 3rd and 4th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1664-1665), the world was greatly shaken by a lawsuit that took place in Beijing. The lawsuit was the Kangxi Calendar Lawsuit (Kangxi Calendar Controversy) between the Jesuit priest and astronomer Johann Adam Schall von Bell (Tang Ruo wang 湯若望, 1591-1666) and Confucian writer Yang Guangxian 楊光先 (1597-1669). Yang Guangxian (hereinafter referred to as Yang) openly framed the charges against Schall and obtained secret help from the four regents at the time. Unlike the many intellectuals who criticized Catholicism during the late Ming Dynasty, he fought alone much of the time. Still, he won the case: Schall was thrown into prison and Datongli 大統曆 (The traditional Han Chinese Calendar) was restored. On the surface, the lawsuit appeared to be a dispute regarding the contradiction between the Chinese calendar and western calendar, but in reality, it was a bloody confrontation between two cultures. It is possible to account for the lawsuit on the grounds of culture psychology, national feeling and palace politics, but from a broader perspective, what truly stands out is the wide gap in concepts of life and the world, about which Yang was undoubtedly clear.

Abstract The word ‘Text’ in Text and Image Studies encompasses sound/ language text, textual body, word/ literary text and image text. ‘Image’ represents not only pictorial illustrations, but also symbols, icons, logos/ trademarks and other forms of visual rhetoric, as well as videos, lines and printed material. Text and Image Studies offers valuable approaches in the investigation and analysis of the complexity of the interplay, interrelations and disjunctions between text and image in various forms of visual media. Chief subjects of interest include creativity and innovation, distribution and dissemination, sociopolitical implications, impact on consumerism, psychological effects on human cognition, etc. The theoretical application of Text and Image Studies in the East Asian cultural exchange discussed in this article is the fruit of almost two decades of research. The article uses a seven-pronged approach - canonization, politicization, conceptualization, abstraction, localization, standardization, modularization- in the study of East Asian cultural exchange in variety of regions, time periods, and genre in an attempt to explore new research ideologies and theories.

I Compared with previous research that has been conducted on world history, which separately focuses on each geographical region and history as it relates to different fields, the research concepts of global history break the spell of “nation”, the concept which is characteristic of modern times. Its research field is humanity as a whole that is made up of different regions, nationalities, religions, cultures and languages. The disciplinary division between East Asia’s history and the world’s history vanishes accordingly, and they are all integrated into the global history for the overall research. Since the era of great sea voyages, Europe has been accustomed to exporting its interests to every corner of the world by spreading its national or religious ideologies, a trend which is one of the features of modernity and, in a real sense, has contributed to the formation of world trade. The formation of the global trading system has given rise to the reallocation of global resources and the spread of European technology throughout the world. The grand voyage of the aliens stimulates the formation of a national consciousness, and the relationship between sovereign states has been defined in the form of various treaties. From the perspective of the colonial expansion with Europe as the center, the world is merely a collection of places within the reach of Europe. As a discipline, the establishment of global history breaks up the monopoly of the viewpoints of Euro-centrism with the development of cross-cultural interaction. The previous practice which takes the historical experience of Europe as the criteria for measuring other societies’ development has been abandoned by today’s academic circle. William McNeill
