Let's start with a digression.
In recent years, Shandong, the land of Confucius and Mengmeng, is one of the places where regional blackness is more serious, and during the Spring Festival, a big publication about the kneeling of Shandong people in the New Year has caused an uproar.
Many people associate the transformation of the economy, customs and other things, and think that this is the reason for Confucian culture and Confucius and Mencius thought. Not long ago, Wei Xin, the youngest speaker in the Hundred Forums, specially made a program to refute it, which was very wonderful and in place. In a word, Confucian culture and Confucius and Mencius thought do not carry this pot, and the outside world's understanding of Confucian culture and Confucius and Mencius thought is too superficial.
In fact, even in the economy, Shandong's contribution is quite large, and the total GDP has ranked third in the country for many years; in business, many large enterprises and entrepreneurs have emerged.
According to the newly released 2021 Hurun Global Rich List, there are many rich people from Shandong, the top 5 richest, the least wealthy, also reached 60 billion yuan.
