The combination orthodoxy and governance system (combination monarchial power with enlightenment power) is constructed by the Confucian,which is ideal political pattern. Confucian literati flatter the idea, which come ture by the monarch. On the one hand, they hope to control the world with the emperor, on the other hand, more hope, transmitting the Confucian idea to achieve the image of the combination orthodoxy and governance system. The idea of the combination orthodoxy and governance system, in the early Qing dynasty Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong and other emperors, which is the consensus. Not only the Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong themselves domesticate the world by Orthodoxy image, scholars return orthodoxy image to the emperor. This is the major phenomenon on ideal and political history of the Qing Dynasty, but also the main path of researching the Qing Dynasty state ideology and political legitimacy.This issue explore early Qing emperors to power through a series of skills and knowledge to construct their own manipulation of the image of orthodoxy. Qing dynasty come to the Central Plains by another race,who has an urgent need for authority on the political domination and legitimacy by theoretical argument. How the early Qing dynasty emperors convey the image of their own Confucian disciples by confucius ceremony and lecture study, so as to achieve the image of consensus the orthodoxy and the governing system. Early Qing emperors in the course of a long-term JingYan and deep research on the basis of Confucianism, but also try to take the responsibility of ruler divisions, a large number for the compilation and writing of Confucian classics in order to establish the image of their own orthodoxy, but also through the theory of the application of the Confucian classics to control consciousness of Orthodox scholars, and to give themselves a deeper the basis of orthodoxy image. The creation of imperial orthodoxy image is the result of political demands on the early Qing,and discussion of the orthodoxy image also return to consolidate power, and new knowledge generating by the image of imperial orthodoxy, which influencing the academic direction and scholars mentality in Qing dynasty.the four main research topics.As the Confucian ideal of imperial orthodoxy on the image itself contains a lot of respect, the issue mainly from the worship of Confucius, and JingYan three aspects of the early Qing emperors to establish the image of Orthodox in these activities, and the pattern of survival of scholar-officials after the establishment of imperial orthodoxy. Therefore, this research project mainly involves four parts.The first major study how the early Qing emperors used the ceremony to inscribe on the orthodoxy of their own successor to the image? First of all Religion, as the Manchu Qing Confucius ceremony of legitimate rule, it is not only the Manchu dynasty ruled the ceremony for the Central Plains symbol, or the show of importance in Confucius as the fundamental national policy. To express the respect of Confucius, in addition to frequent his honor but also all the preferential treatment given to the descendants of Confucius, to achieve the legitimacy of ritual worship hole. Early Qing emperors worship Confucius, its specifications, its significance goes far beyond the ritual ceremony of the Confucius Temple. Especially since the the intervention of pro-emperor worship Confucius,the recognition and the continuance of this worship ritual urge the significance of the combination of the orthodoxy and governance systems. Orthodox discourse structure produced by the Confucius, the Qing dynasty maintain the original orthodox narrative legitimacy.The second major study on the unprecedented frequency JingYan how to make content for the early Qing emperors received, and thus further promote the image of imperial orthodoxy construction? JingYan in the early Qing dynasty make imperial recognize the role of Confucian orthodoxy, the good for the imperial master illustrate the agree for Confucian orthodoxy. On this basis, the Qing emperors deeply study Confucian classics, but also established their own orthodoxy image in the course of study, which can be agreed with scholars. In the lecture process in Qianlong period, the Qianlong Emperor was known as orthodoxy image, the Confucian orthodoxy placed under the governance system, the lecture ritual become the place of the Qianlong Emperor orthodoxy image, the Qing Dynasty pre-imperial orthodoxy image fully established. The third is about in the early Qing dynasty emperors orthodox academic interpretation and the structure of the orthodoxy image. Imperial has the right of cultural orthodoxy,so imperial power invade the social and cultural academic area,the Confucian system is placed under the control of the imperial power.The Qing emperor's own academic activities make people agree with the emperor, who is also "the teacher of the world" status, they are bound to give the emperor the power to explain academic, but the interpretation of the priorityof Scholars. The loss of scholars orthodoxy speak power, especially the loss of the power of interpretation of history, so the emperor completely controlled orthodoxy speak right, and gived the image of their own orthodoxy in the course of the orthodox interpretation of Confucian classics.Fourth is about living pattern of imperial Orthodox image and the scholars. Early Qing emperors through a series of cultural measures make people agree with the emperor, who is also "teacher of the world" status, so that the idea of the combination of orthodoxy and governance system come ture. It makes the system of originally a tool for controlling governance system become the arms of governing the scholars.On the one hand the scholars attributed the Orthodox power to the emperor,they lose the right of orthodoxy speak, since regarded as a "king teacher" Confucian Orthodoxy tends to decline. In this context, the early Qing dynasty imperial based on the actual system needs,they explain the ideal Confucian orthodoxy, especially as a symbol of the spirit of Confucian scholars, "the prime minister of is no place in the interpretation of the Qianlong emperor. An inherent part of the Confucian Orthodox theory come into a ruling class ideology, in turn which act on the scholars, making the status of scholars decline again. Which face the severe difficulties in real politics. Scholars lost the space of the orthodoxy speak, only buried the classic study, re-interpretation, Phi Lek gold sand to find a new orthodoxy foothold.In conclusion, the combination of early Qing emperors the Confucian knowledge dilemma after the establishment of Confucian orthodoxy, to think about the relationship about the orthodoxy and the governance systems, and suggested that "misplaced unlock Road", is the wayout of traditional Chinese Confucian political culture.
