Abstract This article holds that there is an Integrated Confucian Business Ethics in Chinese society today and that it has a rather complex structure as based on the Yijing mode of thinking. Without the Yijing ontogenerative cosmic philosophy as a guide, there could not be such an interesting integration of philosophical schools in Chinese business ethics, which in essence becomes a practical philosophy for action in business and economics. The process of derivation of such integration is both practical and rational as envisioned by the Yijing way of thinking. Herein I analytically describes the process of this integration from Confucian virtue ethics to enhanced Confucian ethics, and its business application as enhanced Confucian business ethics. From this, we come to a modernist transformation by way of incorporating duty ethics, utilitarianism and even rights ethics. This is then called the Integrated Confucian Business Ethics, which is the powerful tool used by Chinese business and economy leaders today to achieve both economic development and national development at the same time.
