the Art of Planning" to the Public: a Study of Business Books in the Ming and Qing Dynasties
About This Novel
The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a historical stage of comprehensive transformation of traditional Chinese society. Business not only developed highly, but also became increasingly professional. Not only did various business groups and business associations and chambers of commerce appear, but books on business methods and business guidance (referred to as "business books" in the manuscript) also began to get rid of the form of secret manuscripts and turned into public publications. Moreover, these business books not only appeared on the market openly as "public readings", but were also widely popular. This phenomenon reflected the impact of the development of the social commodity economy and the increasing prosperity of commerce on social concepts at that time. This article is divided into three parts to introduce the development and spread of business books during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which will promote the in-depth study of the development of Ming and Qing society.
