The Foundation Of Confucius Political Thought

Confucius is the Chinese most influential thinkers, the educationalist, is the China traditional culture main body——Confucian school of thought founder and the theory prototype founder. His thought and the theory have all made the immortal contribution for the Chinese civilization and even the world civilization. Since Confucius has studied is the founding of the nation the academic circles and even one of social from all walks of life attention focal point questions.Before China ancient times the thought was born the history and the society cultural context, was we in is engaged in the thought history research work the noticeable content, these ancient times thought were born the before cultural resources to the traditional thought culture production, the development and the evolution are displaying the huge influence. The objective existence history is the absolute border area which any thought all is unable to surmount, the thought scope, the content as well as the method all stipulated by the objective historical condition, therefore the objective historical condition has produced on the direct plotting ancient times thought foundation. We study Confucian thought from the politics angle, must produce to the Confucius political thinking with the development foundation has the objective understanding. Therefore this article through the real politic foundation, the archaic religion factor, metaphysics foundation, the main body foundation, the direct thought resources and so on several parts produced to the Confucius political thinking the foundation carried on the analysis, was for the purpose of promulgating any to have the rich connotation and the profound influence thinker or the school of thought appearance and the formation, its by the nationality and the country which produced, all must have the corresponding background condition which sufficiently supported it to appear. This kind of background condition generally contains two aspects the contents: One is the cultural accumulation, two is society's need. But Confucian thought is precisely produces at the Chinese pre-Qin society culture accumulation and he locates the time to the political theory and the political thinking summon, carries on the comprehensive analysis to the Confucius political thinking foundation research, thoroughly explores its thought by the production, like this can penetrate the real politic phenomenon to grasp the hideaway after that regularity.First, the Confucius political thinking real politic foundation, the week dynasty profoundly is affecting the Confucius political thinking formation by from flourish to decompose political vicissitude advancement. Confucius lives national——Lu state is observes the Zhou rite ancient precept, takes the clan law morals, advocated the ritual music enlightenment, treasures the ancient book the country, all these have provided the traditional culture soil for the Confucius political thinking production. The Lu country society culture tradition is thoroughly understands the Confucius thought the way that must be taken and the objective premise.Confucius to the real politic ponder, is from restores the Zhou rite to for the politics by morality, manifests is approaches from the ritual to morality thought road, simultaneously also is the process which unceasingly promotes. Establishes the political order according to the ritual, is the Confucius political thinking main content. But has the positive sense, lay in him for the political order which acted according to propriety to establish the shape but on basis. Such endeavor, has linked up and manifests as the social system ritual on the person's heart of benevolence, has established the ritual value root, thus its political thinking also had the surmounting significance, becomes basis which later all previous dynasties thinker, the statesman explains. Confucian political ethics thought take the clan law thought as a core, its important characteristic lies in the declaration rank, unifies the clan law relations and the political rank. The maintenance patriarchal system, maintains the feudal rule system. Second, the archaic religion factor, we thought Confucius was impossible under then historical background to surmount destiny theology the time. Although still had "the fear destiny" in Confucian political thinking, "the heavy sacrificial offering" characteristic, but Confucius attempted to abandon traditional theology destiny view to establish new philosophy destiny view, tried hard "the destiny" from the original belief object, transformed into the understanding object. As a result of the time limit, Confucius has not been able to complete this transformation. With has this philosophy basic problem from the thought to inspect, Confucian destiny view is idealist and materialistic interweaves in the same place: In the natural domain, basically has manifested the materialistic tendency, but in social domain, also has manifested the idealist tendency.Third, metaphysics foundation, Confucian theory and thought deep root to China ancient civilization source-book "Book of Change". "Book of Change" the cultural spirit profoundly enlightened and has affected the Confucius theory production and the formation. Discusses the Confucius theory to be easy to study the root, is helpful profoundly understands "the Book of Change" to us and the Confucius theory inner link. He has inherited "the Book of Change" in the certain degree destiny view, discovered and has explained "the morality righteousness" which "the Book of Change" center contains and "center and" the thought, moreover in the Confucius political thinking "the loyal road" also has the very complicated relation with "the Book of Change". We may say "the Book of Change" the thought theory is the Confucius politics theory thought root and the theory origin. "Book of Change" the spirit to the Confucius politics theory production, forms with the development has had the profound inspiration and the influence. The Confucius theory root to "Book of Change", is to "the Book of Change" the theory continuation and development.Fourth, main body foundation, in "kernel" under the instruction, Confucius regards as politics is moral extending with outside, this constituted Confucius to advocate the rule by people the rationale, but "the gentleman" was the Confucius rule by people thought crystallization. We thought "the gentleman" a word has the very important significance in Confucius as well as in the Confucianist theory, must regard as is Confucian thought core, in other words the Confucian scholar first must have to become a gentleman only then to conform with Confucian of the Confucius. In Confucian political thinking, he takes gentleman's moral tutelage, emphasizes gentleman's political practice. The gentleman also becomes Confucius to push own political thinking to the reality practice process crucial main body factor.Fifth, the direct thought resources and so on the political thinking production development besides receives the realistic social politics life the restriction, but also has with the former political thinking achievement inherits the relations. Predecessor's thought took one kind of historical heritage and the spiritual wealth, were the posterity has provided the rich thought material. May see after ours analysis, Duke of Zhou's political thinking is the Confucius political thinking important thought resources. Confucius in inherits Duke of Zhou "the destiny", "morality", "the ritual" and so on in the thought idea foundation, enable Duke of Zhou's thought to obtain the sublimation, the Chinese tradition political thought will push to a new boundary.
