ABSTRACT

Tals of a Thousand and One Nights and Sanyan and Erpai emerged in the same period, shaping different images of businessmen. Due to different cultural backgrounds and author identities, Arab businessmen value integrity, while Chinese businessmen emphasize morality and righteousness; Arab businessmen often have an adventurous spirit, while Chinese businessmen conduct business with a cautious and prudent mindset; The purpose of Arab businessmen pursuing wealth is secular pleasure, while Chinese businessmen pursue a combination with official power. Based on this analysis, Chinese businessmen should learn from and absorb the positive energy of others, promote their own characteristics, and play a greater role in commercial activities.
