democratic rule of law society,from a hierarchical,pecking distinct ethical society into a modern society fair and freedom and equality.The empire,the feudal power and the bureaucratic bourgeoisie had severely impeded the transformation of China's modern society,the transformation of modern Chinese society was extremely difficult.In order to realize the transformation of Chinese society,the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution,striving for national independence was the first historical task of the transformation of China's modern and modern society.Confucianism was the main vein of Chinese traditional culture and the mainstream ideology of feudal society,which played an important role in the development and stability of Chinese feudal society.The status and influence of Confucianism in the transformation of modern society were gradually shrinking.In the process of cracking and fragmentary,it gradually lost its central position in China's feudal society.There are two reasons: first,the economic foundation on which Confucianism was based had changed significantly,and with the gradual disintegration of the feudal political system,ideological Confucianism came to an end;Secondly,the change of social structure and social value brought about the change of people's ideology,cultural consciousness,mental outlook and behavior mode.Confucianism was under the pressure of modern transformation,which was not only about the survival of the Confucian,but also the way of the modern Chinese culture.For more than a century,with the transformation of modern society,Confucianism had experienced a process of losing power and protection and being gradually marginalized until it falled from the position of ideology.Confucianism had experienced a process of being questioned,denied and criticized,but it also had the opportunity of development and revitalization.In the transformation of modern Chinese society,the thinking on Confucianism development and the modern value of Confucianism had never ceased.Kang youwei carried out political reform under the name of Confucius,Modern neo-confucianism constructs their theory,and Chinese marxism's assimilation and learning of Confucianism are the important contents of the modernization of Confucianism in the transformation of modern society.The modernization of Confucianism is accompanied by the progress of Chinese revolution,construction and reform,which was synchronized with the development of the society,which was always linked with the destiny of nation and nation.Along the historical context of the development of modern society,the background,fundamental task and fundamental way of the modernization of Confucianism in the modern social transformation are now investigated,and the internal laws of Confucianism modernization are accurately grasped,so that the modernization of Confucianism can be advanced better,so as to provide a useful reference and realistic enlightenment for the construction of the new Confucianism of Chinese socialism.The text is divided into seven parts.The introduction part discusses the origin and main discussion of the topic,the research review,the research method,the main innovation points and the difficulties and deficiencies.The first chapter starts with the concept of social transformation,introduces the meaning and causes of social transformation,and then analyzes the characteristics,historical tasks and the relationship between the Chinese revolution and modern social transformation in modern China.The purpose is to demonstrate the relationship between modern social transformation and Confucian modernization.Social transformation is bound to bring about changes in social structure,ideology and cultural consciousness.Confucianism,as a feudal ideology,must adapt to the transformation of modern society in the transformation of modern Chinese society.The historical task of modern social transformation determines the direction of the modernization of Confucianism,and the tortuous course of Confucianism reflects the difficult transition of modern Chinese society.The second chapter is the end of the feudal society and the ideology of Confucianism.After the opium war,the China's Feudal Society continued to fall apart,and the traditional Confucianism suffered from the crisis.The Westernization Movement unfolded in the logic of the application of Confucianism.The defeat of the sino-japanese war heralded the failure of the traditional Confucianism evolution,and the state only has the hope of institutional change.Kang youwei's reformed in the name of Confucius was aimed at political reform,and Kang youwei promoted the modern transformation of Confucianism,and became the first person to promote the modernization of Confucianism in modern times.But,whether it was modified or reformed,it would not save the fate of the Chinese feudal society,the 1911 revolution ended the Chinese feudal system,declared the end of the feudal society of China,and the dissolution of Confucianism in the feudal regime.The third chapter is the main content of The May 4th new cultural movement.and the modernization of Confucianism.The 1911 revolution didn't quite finish the anti-feudal revolution,and the remnants of the feudal culture still had a social foundation,which was the ideological basis for the restoration of counter-current in the early republic of China.The May 4th new cultural movement is China's ideological liberation movement in the 20 th century.The movement had thoroughly criticized Confucius and Confucianism,and ended the status of Confucianism in ideology.The criticism of The May 4th new cultural movement on Confucianism made Confucianism free from the shackles of feudal autocracy and ended the status of ideological independence.Confucianism,with its national character and inclusiveness,became the ideological resource for constructing the cultural construction in the new period.In the 1920 s,there was a new generation of modern neo-confucianism,they constructed a system of thought,and they made a positive contribution to the modern transformation of traditional Confucianism.The fourth chapter is mainly about the new democratic revolution,the Chinese marxism's criticism and absorption of Confucianism.The May 4th new culture movement was beginning in the new-democratic revolution in China,Marxism was spread in China during the May 4th new culture movement and combined with the Chinese working class,and then the communist party of China was born.In the process of leading China's new democratic revolution,the communist party of China had continuously explored and promoted the sinicization of marxism.Marxism should not only be combined with Chinese practice,but also with Chinese history and culture,especially with the combination of Confucianism and realized the sinicization of marxism.The sinicization of marxism contains the process of integrating the positive elements of Confucian culture into marxism,thus enabling the new vitality of Confucianism in the new historical era and promoting the modern transformation of Confucian culture.Marxism has absorbed the essence of Confucianism from the traditional Confucian culture,which is more in line with the reality of China,and it has been successfully achieved in China.The birth of Mao zedong's thought marks the first theoretical leap in the sinicization of marxism.The reference and absorption of Confucianism by Mao zedong's thought is a model of the combination of marxism and Confucianism,which is a special form of the modernization of Confucianism.The fifth chapter is the new development of the socialist modern construction and the modernization of Confucianism.The founding of the new China and the establishment of the socialist system have paved the way for China's modernization and provided institutional guarantee.The normal study of Confucianism was disturbed by the thought of “left”,which disrupted the modernization process of Confucianism until it completely interrupted the modernization of Confucianism in the mainland as an academic school.In the 1950 s and 1960 s,the Modern neo-confucianism in overseas continued to promote the modernization of Confucianism and achieved positive academic achievements,which made a positive contribution to the expansion of the overseas influence of Confucianism.In the 1980 s,the fruits of Modern neo-confucianism in overseas were introduced to the mainland,and it helped to promote the continental Confucianism.In the mainland,the modernization of the mainland has achieved remarkable results.“Cultural fever”?“national study fever”?“Confucian fever” and “Confucianism revival” in the new century,the modernization of Confucianism is restarting.Confucian modernization not only become academic research hot spot,and appeared different stand,viewpoint and way of modernization.The conclusion part of the study is to summarize the historical experience,combine contemporary practice,look forward to the future and construct the neo-confucianism of socialism.The modernization of Confucianism in the era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,guided by marxism,serves socialism with Chinese characteristics and provides spiritual impetus and intellectual support for China's modernization drive,is an important part of socialist culture.Socialist new Confucianism is a new form of Confucianism in socialist conditions,which is a dominant form of neo-confucianism in the socialist society,but it does not rule out other neo-confucianism.The modernization of Confucianism in the era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is pluralistic,adhering to the principle of freedom in faith,adapting to the needs of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and serving the modernization cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The modernization of
