Zhangshenfu is an important philosopher in modern Chinese history.Zhang Shenfu proposed a philosophical viewpoint that combines "Three Confusions: Confucius,Russell,and Lenin",which will connect Chinese philosophy,Western philosophy,and dialectical materialism.He believes that Confucius is the best tradition in ancient China."Benevolence" and scientific law are the most precious things in the world.Zhang Shenfu's Confucianism also provides a new direction of philosophy.It is valuable to study modern Confucianism.The sources of Zhang Shenfu's Confucianism were introduced from three aspects: Marxist philosophy,Western philosophy represented by Russell,and Chinese traditional culture represented by Confucius.With the introduction of Marxism into China,various western thoughts flowed into China,and the Chinese philosophy community presented a lively and thriving scene.Some scholars began to construct a philosophical system that merged Chinese and Western cultures.Zhang Shenfu put forward Lenin,Russell,and Confucius under the general context.Zhang Shenfu introspected the May Fourth Movement during the Neo-Enlightenment Movement and at the same time rethought activist and conservative attitudes towards Confucianism during the May 4th Movement.In response to the cultural debate on radicalism and conservatism,he proposed the Confucian view of “Down with Kongjiadian and rescued Confucius,” and advocated that Confucius be rescued from Confucianism and explore the true value of Confucianism.Zhang Shenfu believes that the superiority of Chinese traditional culture lies in: the highest ideal of "benevolence";the principle of action of "middle";the philosophy of "easy";the attitude of "birth";and the method of "body".Zhang Shenfu's Confucianism is mainly the interpretation of "benevolence","the golden mean" and "the correct name".One of the highlights of the Zhangshenfu Confucianism is to focus on practice.Zhang Shen Government gives the meaning of "benevolence" and "center" practice.The characteristics of the Confucianism of Zhangshenfu are based on the principle of "pass",and the ultimate goal of philosophy is to achieve "pass."The Zhangshenfu system excavated the true value of Chinese Confucianism.His Confucian thought was long and broad.He combined Lenin,Confucius,and Russell into one,based on Chinese traditional ideology and culture,and absorbed Western philosophical thoughts to reinterpret Confucianism.thought.Zhang Shenfu's philosophical thinking through Chinese and Western cultures broadens the field of modern philosophy and has important implications for the development of contemporary Confucianism.Zhang Shenfu's cultural concept of comprehensive innovation aims at “passing through” and “combining”,affecting a group of outstanding philosophers Zhang Yannian and Fang Keli,and has a profound influence on the development of current social culture.
