The Inheritance And Trend Of Cheng Brothers’ Luo School In The Two Song Dynasties

Although it originated from the missionary activities and lecture activities of Cheng brothers in the Northern Song Dynasty,the transfer of the concept of "Luo Xue" was determined during in the Southern Song Dynasty.Back to the historical world of "Luo Xue",it can be divided into three stages in the Song Dynasties:In the first stage,Cheng brothers founded it.At this time,Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi created the category of "Tian Li",and gradually entered the emperor’s school with the help of the imperial examination system and the political referrals of Si Maguang and Lv Gongzhu.However,Cheng brothers’ s moral politics was not promoted,and was double-pressed by the emperor of Zhezong and Wang Anshi ‘s politics.In the period of the academic prohibition,many Luo Xue disciples left.Only a few keepers,like Yang Shi,You Zuo,Xie Liangzuo,and Lv Dalin,continued to build the "Luo Xue" system.In the second stage,Disciples of Cheng brothers began to preach.After exiting the political stage,Cheng Yi and his disciples launched a cultural activity in the area of Luoyang to write books and accept students,which provided textual and ideological resources for the "Southern Spread of Taoism".In cultural dissemination,"Luo Xue" has not only developed in areas such as Hunan,Sichuan,East Zhejiang,and Fujian,but has also been revered by Prime Minister Zhao Ding in the central court.Because disciples of Luo Xue opposed Gao Zong and Qin Yue’s "summation" politics,they suffered a political blow.However,due to the cultural pattern of Luo Xue’s "flowering everywhere",the actual influence of The Academic prohibition was slightly ordinary.In the third stage,Zhu Xi,Zhang Shi,and Chen Liang began to construct new Luo Xue.Under the background of Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi’s establishment of Luo Xue,Cheng Zhu Zhi Xue became the academic culture sought after by students,and the new-Confucianism became the mainstream of the culture of the times.Afterwards,the believers Zhao Ruyu and Zhu Xi started their preaching activities from the politics of the imperial court and the education of the emperor respectively.In the end,this political and cultural reform was born to the hands of foreign relative Han Tuozhou.It wasn’t until Lizong’s time that Cheng Zhu Luo Xue’sstudy received the attention of the emperor and the court,forming a political and cultural pattern that unified the world’s studies.All in all,"Luo Xue" provided an important cultural gene for the construction of Song Xue.It not only provided a new set of interpretation paradigms in ideology,but also played an important historical role in the political changes of the Song Dynasties.
