On The Establishment Of The Status Of The New Confucianism In The Western Han Dynasty

The Western Han Dynasty is the most important times in the history of Confucians development.Confucian after the Qin Dynasty "Fenshukengru" huge disaster, at this time slowly into the Renaissance, and eventually made the Western Han Dynasty official of the ruling ideology status, Deeply influenced the Chinese traditional society for more than two thousand years. This paper argues that the reason why the Western Han Dynasty has become an important turning point in the development history of Confucianism, and it is closely related to the characteristics of the system of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty. Confucianism in the Han Dynasty after Dong Zhongshu’s transformation, forming a contains the philosophy foundation, political model, Gangchang ethics order, fulfills the subject, measures for the continuation of the complete theory system. System design very complete,and the relationship between the elements, promote each other, make a complete set of system up and running, vitality is extremely tough, able to quickly take root in all aspects of social and political, unusually stable. And this is Han Dynasty other schools do not have distinctive characteristics.The end of the Qin dynasty wars, resulting in economic society. After the early Han Dynasty so terribly fatigued, the rulers made the world, the principal task is the development of economy, the resumption of production. As for the choice of guiding ideology with the support of the rulers of the early Han Dynasty, actively absorb the painful lessons of Qin for cool method died, I hope to legalism but at a distance. "Han Qin system" at the beginning of the Chinese political reality requires a new guiding ideology must be able to influence the politics of the early Han Dynasty legalism objectively give reasonable explanation. Then, combined with the imitation of the Huang Lao school became their best choice. At the same time, Huang Lao thought in legal system, advocating "quietism", thus in the early Han Dynasty to create a relatively relaxed environment. The ideology and culture of Confucianism have been restored and developed continuously in this environment. With Shu Suntong as the representative of the early Han Dynasty Confucian scholars activelyplay " Rushi" spirit, the Confucian ritual should be reformed, developed in line with the early Han political " Rites ", get the rulers of reuse is the beginning of the Han Dynasty in the political arena of Confucian boarded. The transformation of Confucianism, adapt to the political reality, in order to achieve the " entry “Rushi",set a precedent in the Han Dynasty Confucian transformation of Confucianism, the Confucianism since then changed the ideal characteristics of pre Qin Confucianism,and political reality more closely integrated. And Falluja and Jia Yi will be a combination of Confucianism and Taoism, greatly improving the social influence of Confucianism. This system is based on the theory of heaven and man, Dong Zhongshu from the spring and autumn in the extract "Qu min er shen jun,qu jun er shen min" point of view, think that the divine right of kings, based on that day’s authority, improve the sovereign status. Supplementing political pattern is the core of this system political views, he believes that "morality" as "punishment" for Yang,Yin, Yin Yang, so the ruler should conform to the heaven, the implementation of "supplementing", the combination of law and Confucianism political rule. Confucian ethics is the system advocated by the social order, Dong Zhongshu thought is the embodiment of "Five Virtues" the order in the humanity, so emperor as the day spokesperson, should maintain the ethics in humanity to follow God. This system is the practice of Confucian political subject, he believed that the government should select officials with the "de" "only" as the standard, to do To record on location, only by officials, scholars to be more involved in politics. Finally, in the Confucian system of security and continuity, he suggested to play the role of the education,firstly, officials on the education of Confucianism and the establishment of doctoral school; secondly, the widespread construction of nationwide, Professor of Confucian classics in the aspect of social education, he recommended the establishment of a "one" model, encourage people to advocate Confucian ethics. The ultimate goal pursued by the new Confucianism system is "unification", the political unification in the central, unified rights to the imperial power, culture is a traditional Confucian.Dong Zhongshu constructed the "New Confucianism" is a very the system of perfect theory system, including theory, politics, ethics, practice subject, continuation of means, the ultimate purpose. So, even if one or two of them are temporarily notadopted, other sectors will gradually be Pull it up, so as to complete the establishment of a complete set of system. Emperor although adopted Dong Zhongshu’s proposal, but "law" bent for later the, deviated from the "De Zhu Xing Fu" political model, taunted Confucian position, so this one system treatment status is established ultimately in Zhao Xuan period.Zhao Xuan period, after decades of Confucianism elected official system and the Confucian education, Confucian groups continue to grow, they asked to obtain more rights in politics, requires countries to return to the Neo Confucianism advocated political orbit. This period of new Confucianism system perfect, in the rise of Confucian political and "De Zhu Xing Fu", king of the road, the complex political mode of practice. Xuan emperor period, the authority set up, marking the dominance of Neo Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty finally established. Since then,Confucianism began to become more than two thousand years of Chinese Traditional Society official of the ruling ideology, Dong Zhongshu on Confucianism system construction is a great tribute to.
