Social Thought Trends Of Ming And Qing Dynasties And Korea's Practical Philosophy

During Ming and Qing Dynasties in China and in the later stage of Li Dynasty in Korea,although the lost clock of feudal system did not ring,it had become necessary and possible to get a self-examination and refudiation in its internal part of this system .As this kind of practical philosophy produced from its self-examination and criticize ,it had set up the new aspect from every social field,and developed into a new social look ,which promoted the disintegration of feudal culture .So the practical philosophy that had enlightening meaning factually become a bridge ,which strided forward the modernization . This thesis applied the related information from China and abroad ,tried to get a further explanation about the origin ,development and their features of the practical philosopies during China's Ming and Qing dynasties and in the later stage of Korea's Li dynasty ,then made a comparison between China and Korea's practical philosopies .This thesis spoke about three questions:1.The social thought trends during China's Ming and Qing dynasties .During China's Ming and Qing Dinasties ,there underwent a radical social change .This kind of social change concentrentively revealed the feudal society's chronic-illness,and had a broad social backgroud and a long historical preparation ,which brought a profound change in the thought and culture fields .During this radical social change ,there emerged a lot of thinkers ,they made a great refudiation from the aspect of philosophy ,history ,politics and ethics about the ideal philosophy of Song and Ming dynasties .Because of the influx of western culture ,it broadened people's vision ,and objectively promoted the upsurging of social thought trends during Ming and Qing dynasties ,was a bridge between China's ancient traditional culture and its mordern new culture and was also a theoretic forerunner that the modern progressive scholars criticized the feudal system .2.Korea's practical philosophy Korea's practical philosophy was not input like Confucianism ,Buddism and Taoism directly from China ,but it was originated and developed from Korea's history and realistic culture .However ,in its initial stage and development coures ,it was influenced obviously by China'seconomy ,politics ,culture and Europe's western culture .In the later stage of Korea's Li Dynasty (17th century A.D),confronting with the politic corruption and economic weakness ,based on the reality and according to the thought of giving up emptiness and dealing with concrete matters ,some progressive intellectuals put forward a series of thoughts and propositions like saving their country and helping their people .The thought of pratical philosophy in the later stage of Li's Dynasty was a bridge between Korea's ancient traditional culture and its new culture (opening-up thoughts),and it was a mental preparation period's self-examination shifting from the ancient society to the modern new society ,so it had much too important enlighening meaning.3.Comparison between China and Korea's practical thought The rise ,development and their thought content of practical philosophies presented some common features .But because of the social and historical differences of the two countries ,their development condition ,social infulence and historical function etc ,also had their respective difference .As a whole ,in history the thought trends of practical philosophies although had different features ,they both underwent a prosperous and magnificient period ,their rich content ,innovative courage and the enlightment spirit twinkings before the modern dawn gave an impetus to the economy ,politics and thought culture of their own countries as a rich spirit wealth ,and would be inherited and developed by their descendants.
