In addition to the introduction of this paper, the introduction part explains the reasons for selecting the topic and the review of Chen’s research, the main content is divided into three parts。 The first part is mainly about the social and cultural background and the possibility of Chen Huanzhang and Kang Youwei to choose the way of institutionalized religion to maintain the Confucian social and cultural background. Since modern western traffic, as the war of the negative, a series of to pay reparations and thus trigger the profound social and cultural crisis。The decline of Confucianism since the day,with the abolition of the imperial examination system in 1905. Confucianism and power link to the main channel fracture and institutionalization of Confucianism finally collapse。At the same time, Western Jesus teach in firearms, goods of collaboration, the earth in the rampaging, Jesus taught that day in, Confucianism, back, which aroused the serious cultural conflict and Confucian scholar "the religion save" heart。The outbreak of the revolution did not make Chinese social situation somewhat better, but increasingly the social chaos and moral decay。The concept of institutionalized Confucianism to Kang in non accidental。Western religion and cultural challenges,Kang Youwei had tried to establish a same type of religion to do against。At the same time with the institutionalization of Confucianism "save the national spirit"。 The revolutionary party in the fierce "abolished reading" of the cultural policy is causing a confusion of faith and moral crisis。By Confucianism to reconstruct moral and national support,save "the soul" even to borrow the control control Congress, is main purpose of Kang Youwei Chen Huanzhang et al。And said Yin sanctification,a sense of unique personality and vigorous spirit of Buddhism is Kang Youwei’s founder of subjective factors; Confucianism inherent provide belief, financial proactive people,transcend religious character for Kang Chen et al institutionalized Confucianism provides objective possibility。The second part is the detailed expansion of Kang Chen and others of "religion" and its connotation of Confucianism specificinstitutionalized way。Kang Youwei thought the religion as the human society is essential, and Confucianism is with Jesus, and release of various teaching are the same as religious doubt, what is different, the Lord Chong teach ghost, Shinto religion, Confucius taught respect for people, for Taoism。 Kang Youwei regarded Confucianism as the location of China’s "national spirit", Confucius is a taught master, restructuring of the sage, six classics are all Confucius hand set and through his own "Datong book" Confucianism create a "Datong world" that the other side of the world。In order to make the doctrine of Confucianism more consistent with the meaning of the Republic, they on the Confucian classics do conforms with the democratic and Republican, freedom of the spirit of the correction and re interpretation。It is in the LORD; teach churches,religious ceremony is modeled,improvement and reconstruction of Confucianism,founded hole church,Canon is formulated and set such as chanting,heaven, Confucius,etiquette,creating faculty。Let the holy land, dressed, the Confucian chronology and。At the same time,they keep pace with the times and founded the Church of hole miscellaneous ",the the world", and other publications, Open University of Confucianism to wide publicity, but also through the efforts of the Confucianism established as the state religion in an attempt to once again to restore the former glory of the Confucianism.The third part outlines the influence of Confucianism on the mainland when reason and on later produced. Confucianism is not in Chinese success, the first reason is that the contradiction between Kang Youwei mechanically Western Christianity out of the Confucianism theory itself and not to be recognized, secondly, Chinese inherent religious consciousness is weak, Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei and other revolutionaries and the new culture of Confucianism, Kang Youwei personally doped in criticism the movement of Confucianism in too many contraband and ambition are not so important reasons, more important is in the face of the world trend of modern humanism, rationality and scientific spirit, advocate go forward with great strength and vigour can not contain the irrational and non scientific religion, this kind of behavior against the tide of the times, the failure is also behoove. The But never underestimate the effects of Kang Chen et al the institutionalization of Confucianism, followed by the Confucianism after the Neo-Confucian gentlemen sage while walking with Kang Chen is a completely different way. but they pay more attention to the Confucian religiousness and Kang Chen homogeneous, and contemporary Chinese Confucianism revival movement is inherits with the movement of Confucianism, which can be seen as a continue of Confucianism.
