Junmai Zhang thought that the revival of Confucianism was the revival of the Neo-Confucianism during the Song Dynasty.He mainly reflects the affirmation of the existence the whole world and the universe formation from two aspects : the universe and the metaphysics.On the foundation of the cognition above,he further elaborated the knowledge view and morality view,culture view and politics view in Confucian philosophy.In his view,“extension of knowledge”and “consideration of others”is the characteristics of the Confucian philosophy,knowledge and morality are both important and indispensable.China's study for knowledge is not as carefully as the West,while the West has neglected morality.Therefore,in order to promote the development of China,we should also strengthen the study of knowledge while improving moral cultivation,so that Chinese civilization can be inherited.In terms of culture,Junmai Zhang believed that in order to maintain the vigor of social development,it is necessary to ensure the vitality of culture.Make different ideas collide and coexist,then the innovation can be made constantly.Learn from the excellent culture of the West with preservation of excellent traditions,integrate new culture based on national culture,and look at new problems with a new perspective,the national culture of spirit freedom can be achieved.In addition,democratic politics is indispensable,to promote the development of society.The reason why Western society has developed rapidly lies in the inseparable implementation of democratic political system.Junmai Zhang proposed that China can accomplish the transition of democracy in a reform way.Running our country in morality and legality system and build a democratic country ruled by law.The people should enjoy the rights of democratic election and freedom of speech in accordance with the law and realize freedom and democracy.Finally,Junmai Zhang still held deep hope for the revival of Confucian philosophy.He believes that Confucianism always advocated people to think about problems with rationality,and never paralyze their own hearts like religion,which is consistent with the development of modern society.Therefore,He has confidence in our own national culture.China's modernization process should start with the ideological culture.As Confucian philosophy is the core of Chinese national culture.Thus,he regards the revival of Confucian philosophy as a way for China to realize the modernization,But ultimately.where will the Confucianism go? It still depends on whether it can provide a “Source of Value for Chinese nation”.
