Confucian History
by Sun Kaitai
About This Novel
China has been a multi-ethnic country since ancient times, and its culture has been diverse since ancient times. Confucius inherited the traditional culture of Xia, Shang and Zhou, compiled the Six Classics, and founded Confucianism. Later, Confucianism was first promoted by Mencius, a Confucian master in the mid-Warring States Period, and then highly praised by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. It then experienced a relative decline during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then experienced a great rise in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It gradually formed the characteristics of being compatible with various thoughts such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but with Confucianism as the mainstay, thus showing considerable vitality. Judging from the development of Confucianism in ancient China and its impact on ancient and modern China, we should see the development of Confucianism itself and view Confucianism in a more objective manner. We should give full play to its strengths and remove its dross to promote its better development in the new era.
