齐长城与齐鲁商战

对于像齐长城这样较大的历史文化遗存,如果仅仅从军事的角度去加以认识和理解,往往会失之偏颇。造成这种偏颇的原因,在很大程度上取决于儒家思想观念对后世所造成的思维惯性。儒家经典《春秋》、《左传》中所详记的尽属政治史、军事史以及伦理道德演化史,但客观的历史远比这些经籍所反映的内容更为全面、广阔,如《管子》所反映的经济方面的内容,展现了那个时代的璀璨的经济成就,构成了齐鲁文化的重要组成部分。通过对《春秋》、《左传》和《管子》的比较研究可以发现:齐国在春秋时期的崛起,不仅是军事上的胜利,更是经济上的胜利;修建齐长城不仅是政治斗争的需要,更是经济竞争的需要;齐长城不仅可以作为军事屏障,更是齐国从事商战的有力武器。

The Qi Great Wall and Qi-Lu business war

Generally,it is partial to study such a historic cultural heritage as the Qi Great Wall just in military perspective. The partiality is caused, to a greater extent, by the stereotype thinking of Confucianist concepts. Actually, by comparative study of zuo zhuanandguanzi, the emerging of Qi in The Spring and Autumn Period, is not only a military victory, even more an economic one; building the Qi Great Wall is not only the demand of political struggle, still more the demand of economic competition; the Qi Great Wall serves not only as a military defence, but as a strong weapon for the Qi business prosperity.
