Why are more and more young people opposing Confucianism?

Let's first look at what traditional Confucianism is all about, and then see why more and more young people oppose Confucianism.

On the one hand, the core of Confucianism is "benevolence", "benevolence in dealing with others, order and harmony", Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, and stresses the importance of moral norms. But please note that Confucianism was put forward in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, the total number of people in the country at that time *** only how many people, you can emphasize the use of moral norms to constrain the behavior of people in a small number of people, but now our country has a population of 1.4 billion people, and to expect to use the moral norms to constrain the behavior of the 1.4 billion people, which is obviously unrealistic and impracticable.

On the other hand, Confucianism believes that the order of the society is the rites, to implement the Zhou rituals, and the rites emphasize the respect and inferiority of the nobility and the inferiority of the nobility, and emphasize that the ruler and the ministers and the fathers and the sons, and that everyone should stay in their own social position, stay within a certain range, which is in fact a kind of class solidification. The aristocrats will always be aristocrats, and the commoners should always be commoners. But what we are emphasizing now is equality and fairness, and the idea of such class solidification is obviously not in line with the values of young people.

Young people study hard and work hard because they want to have a better future and look forward to a better life, rather than being confined to their old limits.

Young people are against Confucianism, but they are more against the dregs of Confucianism, and the essence of Confucianism should be inherited and carried forward.
