Confucian Thought Did Not Lead To The Drama Of The Night Out

The traditional viewpoint believed continuously that Confucianism which is of the rationality had already destroyed the myth of ancient China which should have been systematic . This view regarded it was Confucianism that made the Chinese drama born lately .But, my tutor, Mr.Xuzhengui, who has published articles recently, discussed the meaning of " The subjects on which the Master did not talk, were-extraordinary things, feats of strength, disorder, and spiritual beings " This is a new idea .At the same time he also pointed out that the Confucianism had not damaged the myth and the ghosts and gods. As it was restricted only by the length, MrXu has not carried on, but he encouraged me to continue the study .In my opinion, first looking from Confucianism's origin, we found that the Confucianism and wizard had the same characteristic. They had the common backgrounds, believing that the ghosts and gods were in existence. Though Confucianism had long development, they had not the chance of getting rid of this historical origin, we can find it is not true that Confucius does not discuss the ghosts and gods. Form the "Confucian analects "we can discover v many materials about the ghosts. Form he time when Confucianist lives, there was rational spiritual seed at that time, but it was not the mainstream. And it was impossible for them to be separated from this social the backgrounds.Second, there were massive myths in Confucianist's classics. And these myths basically covered the society, the history, the culture, origin of man and so on .Why the Confucianist which is famous for the rationality lies its classics under the retention the myth. On the other hand , the Confucianist classics had many things from the remote ancient times, on the other hand it was because Confucianist's academic inheritance way and this decided all previous dynasties academic society of the explanatory notes and commentariessupplemented many primitive materials .But the basic is the Chinese tradition agricultural civilization's influence. The value of history has caused the tendency of yearning for ancient times, and this has provided myth preservation with the cultural space and the condition.Third, "myth -historicizing " did not like such which the common scholar elaborates that it had caused destruction to the myth, On the contrary, this process had precisely advanced the myth from the non- artistic domain to the artistic domain. Myth- historicizing connected the gods and the human being, causing our country's myth also to have the homogeneous image and character. Because Confucianism has the dominant status in ancient times, the Confucianism had the superiority which other sects of thoughts were unable to have. The myth inside Confucianist's classics also obtained the corresponding dissemination.Above the synthesis analysis, we can say that the Confucianism has not made the drama born lately.
