Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Shibusawa Eiichi, Money, Views on Wealth

全文內容

孫中山（1866-1925）以為社會與工商愈進步，人們用錢的機會愈多愈廣，舉凡人之生死禍福，喜怒哀樂，皆與錢密切相關；因此，人們惟有追求財富，惟有仰賴金錢。是故，「金錢萬能」的觀念，深植人心。孫氏詳考財貨源流，分析金錢本質，精詳透闢。然而，武昌起義成功，當他返國時，卻強調，革命不在金錢而在熱心，吾帶回了革命精神，以為金錢並非萬能。澀澤榮一（1840-1931）則認為金錢是人生中至為重要的財富；沒有金錢，人不僅無法生存，國家更無法自立，提倡「士魂商才」，尊信孔子教導，把《論語》作為處世的金科玉律。他一心致力於改良當時鄙視致富，呼籲青年，不以正道取得財富，無法長久獲益。孫中山是中國革命之父；澀澤榮一則為日本資本主義之父，本文分析兩人對金錢的真正意義、解決金錢衍生的問題，並分析兩人對「不患貧而患不均」的見解，可知他們的財富觀雖然不盡相同，卻共同譜出心中致富的欲望，以及追逐金錢的夢想。

全文內容

Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925) thought that as a society and economy develop, people will have more and more ways to spend their money. Common people can only pursue wealth and rely on money because it is tied to everything: life and death, misfortune, happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. As a result, the idea that “money is everything” runs deep in the minds of the general public. Dr. Sun Yat-sen conducted extensive research into the origins of wealth and goods, and he examined the fundamental characteristics of money. But the Wuchang Uprising prevailed. He went back to China with the message that revolutionary fervor is more important than financial backing: “I took the revolutionary mindset back with me, convinced that material wealth is not everything.”According to Shibusawa Eiichi (1840–1931), monetary wealth is paramount; without it, not only can individuals and societies perish, but entire nations collapse as well. His philosophy, which he called “having a samurai’s spirit and a merchant’s business sense,” was founded on the teachings of Confucius; he held the Analects of Confucius in the highest esteem. He was committed to reversing the public’s contempt for wealth, and he cautioned young people that their success would be fleeting if they pursued it dishonestly. Dr. Sun Yat-sen is the father of Chinese revolution and Shibusawa Eiichi is the father of Japanese capitalism; although their perspectives on wealth are different, they share the desire to get rich and the dream of chasing money, as this article shows through an examination of their respective conceptions of “not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality” and the resolution of the problems stemming from money.
