Zhu's Contribution to the History of China Thought

Zhu's contributions in the history of China's thoughts are as follows:

1 philosophy

Zhu inherited and developed the traditional Confucianism since the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and also inherited and developed the Neo-Confucianism that arose in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is a master of Confucianism, and is close to real life because of his profound knowledge and rich connotation.

It is beneficial for the rulers to consolidate and stabilize their rule, thus having an important impact on the political practice and people's social life in the late feudal society of China, thus becoming another new milestone in the development of China's traditional culture.

2. Education

Zhu paid attention to the educational reform, put forward the educational orientation of "being a teacher", emphasized the pursuit of knowledge from "practice", and "observing the things around him, you can get your own theory", which created East Asian philosophy.

Zhu's main achievements:

Neo-Confucianism, also known as Taoism, is a theory aimed at studying the meaning of Confucian classics, that is, the so-called study of righteousness. Zhu was a scholar with the highest academic achievement and the greatest influence in Song Dynasty. He summed up the thoughts of predecessors, especially Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, and established a huge Neo-Confucianism system, which became the representative work of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty. His achievements are praised by later generations, and his thoughts are respected as official studies.

Zhu wrote The Original Meaning of the Book of Changes, listing the images of Heluo and congenital, and edited The Book of Changes with his disciples Cai and his son (Cai and Cai Shen), explaining the theory of Heluo and congenital, which was used by later generations to explain Zhu's innate thought of Heluo. In Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, it has always been the official philosophy of the feudal ruling class, which indicates that the ideology of feudal society is more complete.
