Pursuin The Spirist Of Scholars

Since its inception,Confucianism has contained lofty humanistic spirit and moral social and political ideals,and scholars who believe in Confucianism uphold the core value of "benevolence" and actively enter the world and devote themselves to practice to realize and practice.The true essence of practicing Confucianism aims to realize the shaping of personal moral character and the widest degree of social enlightenment.Under the political background of feudal monarchy,Confucian scholars explored the realization of their values and social and political ideals through two ways of serving as officials and teaching scholars.The traditions of the people and the poor up to the time of officialdom and seclusion;in the field of learning,a tradition of focusing on learning shortsightedness,eagerness to learn,self-cultivation and education has been formed.The combination of officialdom and learning is the external manifestation of the spiritual connotation of Confucian scholars,and it is also their basic method of unity of knowledge and practice.However,the values of Confucianism they cannot break through the shackles of the conditions of the times.In the process of seeking cooperation with political power,they want to be able to practice the ideals of their doctrines,Confucian scholars who believes The Confucian theory had to be changed to make a compromise,and this precisely caused the pre-Qin Confucianism to estrange the connotation of the doctrine established by Confucianism in the pre-Qin period.In history,several major Confucian revival movements actually followed this method.The dominance of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty,Hanyu’s "Tao Tong" theory in the Tang Dynasty,and Zhuxi’s innovation of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty were essentially a technique.This made Confucianism gradually lose the good connotations established by the pre-Qin Confucianism,and gradually fell under the control of royal politics.However,the current Neo-Confucianism movement also has this trend and drawbacks.The main research of this article focuses on the establishment of the Confucian scholar’s tradition,including the explanation of the theoretical origin of the Confucian doctrine,and the concentrated expression of the Confucian scholar’s tradition in politics and learning.The author believes that only by reaffirming the true meaning of pre-Qin Confucianism contained in the tradition of Confucian scholars can we have a new consideration of history and reality.In today’s era,when we bring up Confucianism or the tradition of Confucian scholars again,what we really should do is to realize the noble humanistic spiritual concern for individual life in Confucian theory,and the Confucianism contained in the tradition of Confucian scholars.The spirit of being vigorous and promising,enthusiastic in public welfare,advocating morality and education and practicing by oneself,can reflect and criticize and inherit this,and it will be beneficial to the times.
