The New Life Movement And Confucianism

New Life Movement,as in the 1930s dominated by Chiang Kai-Shek launched a large-scale social and cultural movement,there were a lot of elements of Confucianism,from its initiation to implement the entire process,all with the Confucian culture has a strong relationship,so to speaking,in which Confucianism played a key role irreplaceable,however,for Confucianism the ontological ethics covers many aspects,such as sociology,political science,philosophy of large system,Chiang Kai-Shek really need,not the whole set of theories,but limited to the Confucian political philosophy and ethics thought spun off as a theoretical tool,by exploring the specific resources of traditional Confucian,Jiang of carrying on the new Three principles of the people,so as to build the political legitimacy base.On the one hand,from the cultural appeal of the New Life Movement,in the development of the New Life Movement.Propriety and other traditional thought just at the beginning of the movement has significant guiding position,then share the present marginalization,and develops itself.Especially military thoughts will gradually increase the proportion of obedience and sacrifice,Confucianism and traditional culture as the service the social movement and political rule of strategic weapons The role is more and more obvious;Complex background especially in the movement by Chiang Kai-Shek’s own ideology and culture in the background,Chiang Kai-Shek chose to traditional Confucianism as the breakthrough point and outer packing With three people’s principles banner as the basic need of a new life,able to skillfully use and not only so,but also had more advantages than western foreign culture and mass base.On the other hand,from the absorption using of New Life to Confucian,in sport of ethical and moral concept in Confucianism element such as advocacy,although the four dimensional eight,three moralities,etc in the extremely important position,but it had lost its inherent properties and the significance of cultural concepts,such as Chiang Kai-Shek in the traditional culture of the ritual righteousness category of the important thought of the absorption and transformation,the formation of the Confucian ethical color and new morals of the country’s social political benchmark,and implement in the daily life of people in daily life,in order to rectify and constraint people’s ideological and moral,utilitarianism is a kind of isolation,one-sidedness and speculative to inherit and use;Just behind the movement for Confucianism theory support for the movement and regime construction of independent ideological system of the deep philosophical basis,from the philosophy of tai chi-tao wrote in the people’s livelihood,to China’s Chen lifu life philosophy,then to Chiang Kai-Shek’s philosophy of practice,the pure theoretical pure academic philosophy is not very attention,both to the traditional Confucian philosophy and the kuomintang ’s political philosophy and other associated together,build up the unique philosophy system,in order to provide strong metaphysical basis for power.No doubt,the New Life Movement’s strong political color,bound and greatly weakened the cultural value.But it is undeniable that the kuomintang,in the strong support in the process of the Confucian ideology,since the May 4th movement was lashed out at the traditional Confucianism,has a slightly better development platform,and during the campaign,there is no lack of the social from all walks of life have a lot of heart is sincere heart cultures scholars more among them,in the open cultural debate Carry forward the essence of the culture Promote the collation and research of excellent cultural classics,also really played a positive role and positive influence But unfortunately,this crack is congenitally deficient in cultural development,inevitably in the ideological Under the influence of this double-edged sword is limited by political giant,it is impossible to play in the true sense of the role of cultural Renaissance of the national promotion of sports vigorous advocate of restoring ancient ways of Confucius and the traditional thoughts of exaggeration Weight of intellectual and moral spirit power,is not a pure sense And can’t be hony rational culture and the culture of the national revival,but with the cultural breakthrough of synthetic-aperture imposing manner,provide a support in the kuomintang regime to the ideological and theoretical system,explore a herders trained revolutionary authoritarian culture environment.Therefore,Chiang Kai-Shek revives the rejuvenation of the Chinese standard,and gives its own traditional culture and the identity of the three people’s principles and political heritage double heir,under the instdllation of Four dimensional,Eight,three of DE,The path to the university,Cheng,Doctrine of the mean,Unity of Confucianism,such as the outer packing,introduced its practical utilitarian ethical revolution in the philosophy of The people’s livelihood,Life philosophy and Practice philosophy,mandatory to instill into the national army of the daily life and military actions,construct a covering areas such as political ethics education social religious practice consciousness,system,in order to achieve to society to citizens to party a the unification of a government leader.As a result,the New Life Movement of Confucianism to promote and apply,just stayed on the surface of the phases of begin well but end badly need,and as its movement on the basis of the philosophical system of the integrated into the theory of traditional Confucianism philosophy meaning,had also changed obviously with the need of the kuomintang regime change,be in the service of political tools or weapons,although look from the exterior form seems to be ruling tradition of Confucianism,but in essence is not the god,not the real Confucianism.
