People, who has studied Kang Youwei's Ontology theory, draw many false conclusions, because that they don't observe it with the angle of Chinese traditional philosophy that source lies in, or not decide what is the problem Chinese philosophers try to solve from their way.This paper first analyses the ontological part of Kang Youwei's Ontology theory. Then from this theoretical basis, it further explores Kang's retrospection of Principle-theory, Sinology, Confusionism, who tries hard to surmount his forefathers' derivation from the ontological understanding. In the end, this retrospection will provide a realistic and reliable evidence for the reconstruction of personal moral ideal and social life ideal.This paper mainly discusses from the following 3 layers:1 .By clarifying the misunderstanding of ontology, it argues for the unliqueness of both Chinese philosophy and its ontology. Therefore only under a proper ontology standard can we give Chinese philosophers' thinking a proper position.2. Some ideas can be drawn from Kang Youwei's Ontology theory to deal with the problem of Chinese philosophers' life and moral ideal's construction.3. What are the theoretical effect and limitation of Kang's effort? Does Kang's failure prove that Chinese philosophy's search for ontology is always a mistake? Then how should the human's ontology research go along?...
