Tending the Roots of Wisdom was written by Hong Yingming during the Wanli reign period (1573-1620) of the Ming Dynasty. In the 400 or so years following its first appearance, the book was not widely disseminated either at home or abroad, and was not well known. Throughout the 20th century, it failed to arouse much attention in philosophical, literary or artistic circles in China. But in Japan a different situation arose in the 1980s, when a "Tending the Roots of Wisdom craze" swept the business world. A number of Japanese corporations, impressed with the philosophical approach of the work, adopted it as a component part of their management concepts.
