Researching Inevitability Of SungMing NeoCoufucaianism To Come Into Being And Its Abuse From Perspective Of Historical Materialism

In all ages, many scholars are studying SungMing NeoConfucianism, but they are different from each other on the"perspective", which makes the study in academe develop and expand in all kinds of dimensionality and levels. As one of the two theory contributions of Marx, Dialectical materialism view of history is thought highly of all along in the study field of Marx. When studying the SungMing NeoConfucianism, we should be in the view of Historical materialism and analyze questions in use of Materialist view of history. We should put the philosophical questions under the currently specific historical conditions, restoring the historical background, in order that we can make a good knowledge of the questions which are related to SungMing NeoConfucianism.Seen from the perspective of Historical materialism, the relationship betweeen patriarchal society and confucianism demonstrated the interactions of social existence and social consciousness: The historical features of patriarchal society selected confucianism as its mainstream society awareness. In the mean time, Confucianism adapted to the need of patriarchal society to the greatest extent, promoting its developping. As the special stage of confucianism development during the Song and Ming, SungMing NeoConfucianism was the inevitable outcome, on the basis of catering for the social needs, tracking with the developping of Confucianism, and fostered by absorbing the essence of different ideas. Firsty, in the Song dynasty, the development of productive forces caused the changes of productive relations, changes of ecomnomic base determines the gradual change of superstructure, SungMing NeoConfucianism produced in this transformation. Secondly, Moral was been breakdown in the end of Tang and Five dynasties. After setting up of the Song, it pushed for the centralized system, reformed ethics outline,such needs of politics and society gave birth to the SungMing NeoConfucianism directly. At last, the stagnation of Confucianism in the Han and Tang Dynasties not only threatened the development of the heritage of Confucianism, but also hindered the development of patriarchal society. Social consciousness has historical inheritance. In order to change the situation of stagnation in Han and Tang Dynasties Confucianism hindering the development of society, on the basis of succeeding the reasonable composition of confucianism, Neo-Confucianism also integrated and expanded the thought of Buddhism and Taoism, which made the emergence of SungMing NeoConfucianism have considerable theoretical relevance and a profound theoretical basis. SungMing NeoConfucianism built its vast theoretical system through the theory of Universe truth, the theory of DaoËŠs rule,the theory of heart and Character and theory of Looking for truth through the things. It established the " Truth " for the bulk of the theoretical system of metaphysics. It completed the combination, innovation and development of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, with the high degree of emphasis and attention to individual moral self-cultivation.After the SungMing NeoConfucianism, it adapted to the needs of the community on the objective at that time, and promoted the development of society, had the historical progress at a certain period of time. However, SungMing NeoConfucianism is a particular product of the patriarchal society, after all, the theoretical defects of its own and the value loss of the productivity during the development process were insurmountable, which makes SungMing NeoConfucianism change from "inevitability " to "abuse". Historical materialism thought of that it is necessary to put the historical issues under the history. From this perspective, despite the drawbacks of SungMing NeoConfucianism, there still exists some important values: it reshaped social ethics, maintained the governance and stability of the society; Objected privileges, brought forward the people re-thought; Confrontation the power by " Truth ".These are the historical significance of it, at the same time, it must also have the role of the Enlightenment to our modern society.
