The new development of Rigaku on Confucianism and its influence.

New Development: "Reason" is the core of Cheng Zhu's theory, which refers to both the universal laws of nature and the principles of human society, the hierarchical order of human society and social moral norms, as well as the concrete manifestation of Heaven's principles on earth. This expresses the traditional Confucian idea of "the unity of heaven and mankind" in the form of "heaven and mankind in one reason", and the subject position of "heaven" is replaced by "reason".
