余英時以《中國近世宗教倫理與商人精神》等論著參與到士商關係問題的研究中,對90年代起大陸的士商關係問題研究產生了深遠影響。近三十年來大陸研究者在“治生”論、新“四民”論、商人與儒學、“士商融合”的原因及表現等方面吸收併發展了余英時的成果,取得了可喜的成就。但在“自我”“他者”視角的審視下,不難發現現有研究在溝通歷史與現實、貫通微觀事實與宏觀結構等方面存在缺失。本文謹就余英時與大陸士商關係問題研究之間的關係進行討論,以期探尋近三十年間這一研究領域發展的內在脈絡,並展望該領域未來的發展方向。
Yu Ying-shih has participated in the research on the relationship between scholars and businessmen with his works such as Religious Ethics and Merchant Spirit in Modern China, which has exerted a profound influence on the study of taxi business relationship in mainland China since the 1990s. In the past 30 years, mainland researchers have absorbed and developed Yu Ying-shih's achievements in such aspects as "survival" theory, new "four occupations" theory, merchants and Confucianism, and the causes and manifestations of "the integration of scholars and business". However, from the perspective of double "self" and "the other", it is not difficult to find that there are shortcomings in the communication between history and reality, and the connection between micro facts and macro structures in existing studies. This paper will discuss the relationship between Yu Ying-shih and the study of the relationship between scholars and businessmen, in order to explore the internal context of the development of this research field in the past 30 years, and forecast the development direction of this field in the future.
