What influence does Confucianism have on the process of world civilization today?

The Influence of Confucianism on Modern Civilization

First, Confucianism inherently advocates the integration of democracy and science. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, put forward that "learning is better than learning" itself advocated learning, and Zhu's "teaching" in Song Dynasty paved the way for learning advanced western science and culture. No matter how Chinese and western cultures are, only learning can make progress and development. At the same time, Confucianism also covers the idea of "people-oriented" and guides the people to the road of democracy to a certain extent.

Secondly, China, which is influenced by the traditional Confucian culture, has enough ability to realize socialist modernization. Confucianism was widely spread in various countries after the Second World War, and then it experienced China's reform and opening up, economic development and scientific and technological revolution. Facts have proved that there is no need to abandon China's traditional cultural Confucianism, and even it carries its own strength in the modernization drive. Under this cultural background, China is fully capable of modernization.

Thirdly, the Confucian thoughts of governing the country-"rejuvenating the country and ensuring peace" and "long-term stability" are of great significance to the construction of modern civilization in China. As the second largest economy in the world, China's spiritual world must match its rapidly developing economy to meet the urgent requirements of the current society for spiritual civilization. Confucianism is just in line with this. It can enrich people's spiritual world, give people a sense of belonging, conform to the current social and economic level, and push spiritual civilization closer to material civilization.
