With the development of the times, is it necessary to continue to advocate Confucianism?

First, you know what Confucianism is.

Confucianism is one of hundred schools of thought's theories in the pre-Qin period. Confucianism, also known as Confucianism or Confucianism, was founded by Confucius. At first, it refers to the master of ceremonies engaged in the funeral industry. Later, on this basis, a complete Confucian system was gradually formed, which became the mainstream of China's traditional culture and had far-reaching influence. It is the most influential school in China and the mainstream consciousness in ancient China.

Forming and developing editors

Before the emergence of Confucianism, the nobles and scholars in ancient society received the traditional socialized education of Liu De (wisdom, faith, holiness, benevolence, righteousness and loyalty), six lines (filial piety, friendship, harmony, marriage and benevolence) and six arts (ritual, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics) through "teacher" and "Confucianism". From the teaching content, the social education in ancient China was completely based on the cultural elements such as values, habits, customs, codes of conduct and norms formed by the Chinese nation in a specific living environment for a long time. Confucianism absorbed these cultural elements and rose to the theoretical level of the system.

Impact on East Asia

Confucianism has a wide influence in East Asian countries. In Korea and Japan, ethics and etiquette were influenced by Confucianism, which is still obvious today. In Korea, many people believe in various religions, but Confucianism is dominant in ethics. After the invasion of western civilization into Korean society, various social problems have increased, but the Korean government regards Confucian ethics as a restrictive force to maintain social stability and deepens Confucianism in education.

Impact on Europe

The contribution of China's ancient culture to world civilization is not only the "four great inventions", but also the political culture represented by the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", which has also made positive contributions to modern human civilization. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Jesuits in Europe went through hardships to communicate with Chinese and Western cultures, and in the17-18th century, they transported the mainstream culture of China-Confucianism-Neo-Confucianism to Europe, where a cultural upsurge of 100 years appeared in China. The combination of Confucianism and the new European ideas formed since the Italian Renaissance has become the development of modern European history.

Contemporary significance

Two important reasons for the modern significance of Confucianism;

There are two important reasons: first, our Chinese nation is on the eve of the great national rejuvenation. At this moment, we must review our history and cultural traditions.

Second, in the new century, China has put forward the requirement of building a "harmonious society". In this case, to study the history and development prospect of our national culture, we must adapt to the new situation of contemporary world cultural development, that is, the new situation of cultural development with the arrival of the "new axis era". To adapt to the goal of building a "harmonious society" in China, we must have the requirement of cultural consciousness.

affect

The core of Confucianism is "the moral thought of fraternity, kindness, fairness, justice, honesty and trustworthiness, innovation, civilization, harmony and rule of law". It is of great significance for us to seek theoretical support from traditional culture to consolidate and build a higher public opinion position, for the society to establish core values to seek long-term stability, for the modernization and internationalization of Chinese traditional culture, and for us to build a harmonious world of Baohe Taihe Xianning.
