東莞지역 四角關係의 심리구조 = The Psychological aspects of quadrangular relations in Dongguan area

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  The short-term observation of the poems in the Dongguan area could lead to the following conclusions regarding the quadrangular relations in terms of psychological and cultural aspects:
  1) Dongguan is geopolitically located in the area connecting the Zhu River, Guangzhou, Shinzhen, and Hong Kong. The capital from Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Singapore has advanced here between Hong Kong"s globally-renowned business management and the continent"s development dictatorship.
  This area is in short in the process of rapid changes. As "a fair lady has left with the river," everything familiar here in Dongguan is destined to disappear. Replaced by strange things, Dongguan is a furnace. of new rationality triggering changes in production relations and consciousness patterns. At the same time, Dongguan is the birthplace of a pleasure-seeking culture to "fly away the flowers of desire/ to somewhere high above/at the last moment of powerful emotions."
  2) The fundamental contradiction in the shoes manufacturing industry in Dongguan can be summed up as the 4-party relationships among A(America and Europe in charge of brands and marketing), B(Hong Kong doing financial work and broking), C(Korean or Taiwanese managers responsible for production management), and D(China"s labor and revenue with a promising potential market).
  While A and B are fated to leave later, C and D are supposed to stay on the stage. Therefore, C and D should get united to introduce B so that a coexistence-coprosperity (i.e., win-win) strategy can be prepared by depending on China"s domestic demand market.
  3) Basically, B cannot exist without C. But A is part of various economic activities to B. On the other hand, the role of B is more important in the relationships between C and D. For the Dongguan people, it is impossible to rationally reform authoritarianism, the common problem of socialism and capitalism. In fact, it is impossible for C to lead the relations between C and D. The occasion for trust is given by B, but the C-D relationships accumulate the trust into the form of experiences. If they can create trust without the help of B, the quadrangular relations cannot but be changed.
  That is, when A is excluded from marketing in China to hold business activities in Europe and America, technological development can be independently driven by the consortium among B,C, and D. As a result, the Korea-Taiwan-Hong Kong-China-India belt can be formed with two top markets in India and China.
  What matters is D"s inner contradiction. areas political economics before reform and opening was just ideological, it is at present the critical weapon about concrete reality. Thus a poem goes: "He is now a domestic animal,/ digging the mud for bugs, drinking dirty water,/and eating fruit falling from far above."
  4) What attracts our concern are Taiwanese Commercial School and Houjie in Dongguan. The former is the model of the educational system between two koreas as in is approaching toward the agreement between China"s socialism and Taiwan"s capitalism.
  When everything but capital goes outsourcing in this community, the latter is the heaviest and the strongest owing to the lightest and the most liberal production relations. It is the salmons going against the flow of the times and uniting the premodern and modern ages. The possibility of Houjie is based on the market existing beyond markets.
