The basic connotation of traditional culture stays the same during transmission, right?

The connotations of traditional Chinese culture, such as the Confucian classics, were altered considerably during the Han and Song dynasties.

For example, the interpretation of the Three Principles and Five Constants around 1911 has moved away from Confucius' original intent.

Junjunshenchen. What Confucius meant was: (Jun resembles Jun) Jun should do his duty as a Jun; (Chen resembles Chess Chen) Chen should also do his duty as a Chen. In other words, if a ruler is not like a ruler and does not fulfill his duties as a ruler, a minister can not regard you as a ruler. So there is a king who is not a king and a minister who is not a minister.

After the Song Dynasty, the term "ruler" was changed to "ruler" and "minister", which means that the ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. That is to say, whether it is right or wrong, as long as it is the king said must be right, I do not listen to the minister is to rebel against the king.

So in the Qing Dynasty, there is Huang Zongxi criticized the king and his ministers said: the son of heaven may not be, the son of heaven may not be wrong, the rise and fall of the world is not in the prosperity and decline of a family name, but in the happiness of the people (to this effect, twenty years ago, some of the reading, I can not remember).
