Recently, in china challenged by the western and modern culture, Chinese traditional culture had been criticized and questioned for a long time. How does Chinese culture react to these challenges and how to reconstruct the Chinese culture have been the life-time tasks for scholars both at home and aboard, among who Weizheng tong, a scholar in Taiwan has made unique contributions to the reconstruction of Chinese culture and its adaptation to changing society through his own academic and life experiences. Based on his rich experience in analysis of different philosophies, Weizheng tong thinks critically about the various directions of Chinese culture development in the perspective of history and reality and gets the grip of the existing problems. Through his recognizing western culture with a board mind and self-criticism, he tries to achieve the unprecedented integration between tradition and modern and reconstruct the culture philosophy in line with the modern life, so that the culture philosophy is full of reason and reflects the spirit of the times. Having undergone the May 4 Movement, engaged in 60's cultural debate over Chinese culture and western culture in Taiwan, seen the modern culture's transformation, he has formed his own understanding of Chinese culture's transformation and its status quo.In his early years, he has been under the supervision of Mouzong shan, an expert on the Confucian school. Consequently he takes further steps into the analysis of Confucianism and plants the Confucian philosophy deeply in his mind. However, the 60's debate over Chinese culture and western culture in Taiwan revealed to him the reality and status quo of the culture, which led to the collapse of his belief in Confucian philosophy. What's more, he points out its deficiency and disadvanges after his reasoning thinking. He puts himself in the current times and proposes "ethic, democracy and science" as 3 major cornerstones for reconstruction of Chinese culture. He integrates the Chinese culture together and reconstructs Chinese culture. This way he blazes a new trail toward its reconstruction.
