Liang shuming, zhang Junmai, Ma Yifu, Xiong Shili, Feng Youlan, He Lin and Qian Mu are its leading representatives.The cultural outlook on Modern Neo-Confucian is rich in its contents, but what is discussed in this thesis focus on the following three aspects: cultural metaphysics, Chinese cultural outlook and western cultural outlook. "Cultural metaphysics" is mainly philosophical reflections on the culture itsel, giving answers to three questions: What is culture? What is the final root of culture?
