Wang Guowei's Political Ideology

Wang Guo-wei's political theory was rooted in the traditional education he had received in his early time. i.e. Confucianism. Although western culture exerted great impact on his thought in his youth, he turned back to Confucianism soon under the influence of the new Confucianism and the situation of home and abroad. He had studied Confucianism in order to save China from difficulty. So his political theory belongs to the new Confucianism. Directed by this theory, He hoped to help PuYi, the emperor of China at that time, to establish a nation with good order and high morality.
