Background for the proposal of Dismissing the Hundred Schools and Respecting Only the Confucians

The idea of governing the country, which was put forward by Dong Zhongshu in the first year of the Yuan Guang reign (134 B.C.), was introduced under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the biography of Dong Zhongshu, the original words of his proposal were recorded as "Promote Confucius and depose the Hundred Schools of Thought." In the Jizan of Emperor Wu, it is recorded that Emperor Wu's approach was to "depose the hundred schools, and tabulate the six scriptures".

The idea, which is no longer the original Confucianism of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Instead, it was mixed with some ideas of Taoism, Legalism, and Yin-Yang and Five Elements, reflecting the "compatibility" and "development" characteristics of Confucianism, and was a new idea that kept pace with the times. It maintained the order of feudal rule and deified authoritarian kingship, and was therefore revered by ancient Chinese feudal rulers and Confucian scholars throughout the ages, and became the orthodoxy and mainstream thought of Chinese traditional culture for more than two thousand years.
