The thought of "learning" in Confucius' philosophy has been explained in different perspectives such as phenomenological and inter-cultural etc. This paper provides a different interpretation of Confucius' "learning" theory based on "The Analects of Confucius" in a new perspective: With the "dao" (道) as the approach and "Embark on the way by 'learning'" core of the thought of "Learning" in Confucius' philosophy. In a different ways from Etymology's research, this paper provides in some classical contexts an analysis of specific issues, such as classical languages and metaphysical wisdom, whether or not learn to become saints, and "hegemony mode " in Confucius' context and so on. These issues are underpinned by Confucius' theories on people, tian (天) and governance."Embark on the way by 'learning" is ultimately, in the face of the world for the purpose to create a world of humaneness. To achieve this goal, it is crucial to establish a reasonable code of ethics in carrying forward the tradition of the premise, and constant selections by cognition, virtue and politics.
