公元前二五六年,刚过白露便是一场森森霜雾,天气顿时冷了。霜降八月初,时令乖戾天下失序也。寻常庶民虽不谙此等天人玄机,却对年景冷暖看得一清二楚。十几年间大战连绵,天下疲软得失了大形,天道时令岂能不乱?先是燕齐六年苦战,两国同时衰败。紧跟着便是秦赵两强大鏊兵,长平血战赵国奄奄一息,战后秦国两次攻赵兵败,也是垂垂无力。倏忽之间,战国中期号称天下四强的秦赵齐燕一齐衰落,天下顿时没了光彩。大军对垒的广袤战场沉寂了,使节纵横的宽阔官道冷清了,逃穷避战的难民潮消失了,商旅交错人马喧嚣的关隘也萧疏了。人斗累了,天看累了,连大河南北莽莽丛林中的大象都蛰伏到山坳里去了。大国小国强国弱国,都在卸套老牛一般粗重地喘息着,连向夙敌嘶吼一声的力气都没有了。...
第一部分 第1节:自序芙蓉树下的礼物自序芙蓉树下的礼物小时候外婆院子里的芙蓉树,一直在记忆里陪伴温暖着我成长的岁月,那一树粉色的花朵如云霞般在弄堂的深处绽放,是迷人的风景,也是无尽的希望。蓦然回首,当年那个二十岁的自己依旧站在那里,洋溢着青春的笑颜,美好纯洁得不带一丝阴郁。一别经年,在现实社会里生活奔波,常常会有很多的困惑。人情凉薄得让心灵结冰,你不得不一点点暖过;爱情脆弱得让人失落,你不得不一遍遍来过;人性阴暗得让爱退缩到了角落,你不得不一次次挺过。生活越来越像一场假面舞会,盛大又冷漠,华丽又污浊,热情又虚伪。有多少人可以只爱它的盛大、华丽和热情,摒弃它的冷漠、污浊和虚伪?我们想脱俗却又纯粹不了,我们想呐喊却又张不开喉咙,我们想改变却又迈不开第一步。于是,痛苦遮去了阳光,眼泪淹没了希望,迷途的人很多很多。...
企业究竟起源于什么时候?企业的生存和发展需要什么样的法律环境?在公元前18世纪的《汉穆拉比法典》中,就有关于自由民和自由合伙的记载。我们知道,合伙企业是现代企业的一种形式,那么企业的历史就有近4 000年了。当然任何事物都是发展变化的,企业以及企业法律制度也是一样,我们现在的企业及企业法律制度与那时的企业及其法律制度也不一样,我们只是为了便于理解,借用现在的名词去说明过去的事。那么,《汉穆拉比法典》有关自由民合伙的规定,应该就是最早的企业法律制度了。除此之外,古希腊人把各方合伙人的全部财产投入合伙的称为“共同体”。罗马共和国末期以后,商品经济关系空前发达,罗马法中把合伙作为一种无需任何法定形式的诺成契约,罗马人常采取合伙的形式,经营奴隶、粮食、油店。另外,他们还以“船舶共有”的方式进行航海经商,船舶共有人须对受其委托的航海者在航海经商中所负的债务承担连带责任。除了合伙以...

1.都是出名惹的祸俗话说“人怕出名猪怕肥”,成功人士孙悟空对此恐怕是最有感触的了。今天是“奥运吉祥物”的讨论,明天有“国产货与进口货”的争议,后天……孙悟空真是被各路“突如其来”的媒体、学术同胞们“照顾”得筋疲力尽,叫苦不迭。每当夜深人静的时候,孙悟空也会呆在自己的别墅里,静静地思索着“我是谁?”这个古老的哲学命题,他就是不明白:这个人啊,究竟是什么回事?是自己变得太快还是世界变化太大?遥想当年,自己在一个偏僻的山沟里不声不响地出世,尔后也不曾品味过什么母慈父爱,独自在山中“行走跳跃,食草木,饮涧泉,采山花,觅树果”,寒尽不知年,又有几人关注过呢?好在“穷人家的孩子早当家”,他自小便锻炼出了自力更生、白手起家的优秀品格,力求上进,还真打出自己的一片天地来呢,卓然成为国家栋梁之才。于是情况又来了个一百八十度的转弯,经常门庭若市,转折亲更是应接不暇,前后对比,境遇...
Marquise de Brinvilliersby Alexandre Dumas, PereTowards the end of the year 1665, on a fine autumn evening, there was a considerable crowd assembled on the Pont-Neuf where it makes a turn down to the rue Dauphine.

A police official was trying to force open the door, and two out of the four sergeants who were with him were holding the horses back and the other two stopping the driver, who paid no attention to t
