Issues Of Confucian Historical Ideologies

Confucius is the greatest ideologist and educationist in our ancient nation. And he is the greatest historian, too.Because Confucian historical ideologies have a lot of content, I only choose two and three issues to discuss. There are Confucian historical figures commenting, Confucian standard of commenting historical figures, and Confucius no talking about ghosts and gods, and insurrections.Confucius set up private school, and teached many students by ancient culture. He consciously passed judgment on historical figures from Legend Age to the Spring and Autumn Period. In order to achieved his political ideal, Confucius commented historical figures. Firstly. I classify the historical figures of Confucius commenting on the basic of the order of time. Secondly, I discuss three periods' historical figures. I think not only Confucius made well-founded historical figures commenting, but also Confucius really paid attention to the Spring and Autumn Period. It is Confucius who firstly formed an integrated system of commenting historical figures.At the same time, Confucius formed new standards of commenting historical figures. One is the standard of moral principles and ethics; the other is the standard of achievement. The elder only made a standard of moral principles and ethics. This method was not an integrated standard of commenting historical figures. Confucian new standard of commenting historical figures became the basic method of the latter historians.Confucius did not talked the things about ghosts and gods, and insurrections with others. Because Confucius evaded for the relative, the respect, and the virtuous, he did not talked about ghosts and gods, and insurrections with others. A number of myth and legend have been recorded in the Pre-Qin book and records. It is Confucius who firstly shed a new light on them by historization and rationalization. Furthermore, he collected and collated the book "Spring and Autumn" according to this kind of historic ideas. In the book "Spring and Autumn", there were no ghosts and gods, and insurrections. In thePre-Qin, many historians talked about myth and legend, and in the Pre-Qin, many book and records talked the things about ghosts and gods, and insurrections.
