Content:The late Ming and early Qing society had been known as the "days of de-collapse" era .When the civilized and splendid country was occupied by a small and slow tribe ,it is causing people's shock .As a result, the literati started to launch a heart-searching and critique of China's invasion .Zongxi Huang,Yanwu Gu,Fuzhi Wang and others conducted a reflection to Science from a different point. People started to criticize and summarize about Science. On this basis, Emperor Kangxi study and practice the Neo-Confucianism. The other background of Emperor Kangxi's learning Science was conflict and integration between the Manchu culture and Chinese culture. As the second generation of the Aristocratic political power of minorities after Manchu's invitation, Emperor Kangxi convinced that Chinese-Manchu would make the regime more stability in the process of domination. So, Emperor Kangxi study hard Science and practice it.As the heir of Emperor Shun Zhi, who loves Chinese culture, Emperor Kangxi follows his father, and assiduously studies the Confucian classics. When Emperor Kangxi is a child, he lost his parents. Kangxi's grandmother brings up him, and guides him to Chinese culture. After Emperor Kangxi's chikamasa , his teachers Cilv Xiong,Bin Tang,Zaifeng Sun and others instructed hard him .So Kangxi make a progressive, love Science, convince Neo-Confucianism and began to seek the standard of the true Science.Emperor Kangxi makes atural science as the world's ontological and the source of ethics .He advocates from the world of experience to look for discipline. Emperor Kangxi emphasizes Yin and Yang, and publicizes sage's great. The destiny view of respecting nature and doing human affairs has been formed.Emperor Kangxi slims and governs the country by science's way. Emperor Kangxi trains his bosom and diathesis with the Neo-Confucianism cultivation of physical. In particular, Emperor Kangxi promotes reading. As a person who believes in Neo-Confucianism, Emperor Kangxi respects sage and loves his person, who is the best in this field. He could see himself as a real person, and refuse pleasing of the appellation.Emperor Kangxi's practice of Neo-Confucianism make a great achievement, which is to improve the official management by the truth science. Emperor Kangxi sets an example in filial piety,thrift,hard-working, and encourage them in the whole society. So that the chaotic early Qing immoral society had een made any difference. Emperor Kangxi respects Neo-Confucian who excludes Buddhism and Taoism, but Emperor Kangxi thinks that is not feasible. He also allows the free dissemination of Christianity in China. This is the result of the practice of Emperor Kangxi of Science and tolerant mind.We say that Emperor Kangxi was the monarch of Neo-Confucianist, rather than the Neo-Confucian. The Neo-Confucian excludes Buddhism and Taoism, fight against Utilitarian doctrine, and pursue a lofty spiritual realm. Emperor Kangxi doesn't do it. Emperor Kangxi studies science and practice science, the purpose of that is to governance the state and stabilize own rule. As a result, the biggest feature of Emperor Kangxi's Neo-Confucianism is practical. After this characteristic with the combination of the identity of the emperor Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi of the Neo-Confucianism plays a significant role. Emperor Kangxi of Neo-Confucianism is reflected not only in the ethics, but is also reflected in the political, economic. Practice for Emperor Kangxi of Science in the early Qing Dynasty make the regime stability, as well as had a decisive role to the Saatchi of Kangxi and Qianlong.
