    The article entitled “Cultural Tradition and the Zhejiang Spirit”, written by Lan Weiqing and other scholars, identifies five traditional factors giving birth to the Zhejiang Spirit—“the cultural tradition of valuing both industry and commerce gives birth to the awareness of doing business”, “the value outlook on placing equal emphasis on righteousness and benefits gives birth to the down-to-earth character”, “the interaction among diverse cultures shapes the awareness of taking pioneering and innovative actions”, “an inherent shortage of resource conditions brings forth the enterprising spirit”, and “the industrial tradition of developing diversified workmanship fosters intelligence and wisdom”, see The Zhejiang Spirit of Advancing with the Times, Zhejiang People's Publishing House, 2005, pp. 3–11.
