Confucianism Is Power

After Wang Mang failed in the Han Dynasty,the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty was established based on the bold and unreserved family.The new regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty was faced with two important problems: how to deal with the relationship between the central imperial power and many bold and unreserved family,and how to deal with the official ideology that had provided Wang Mang with the basis of the Han Dynasty--The study of Classics.The treatment of these two problems,to a certain extent,determined the future direction of the Eastern Han regime.On the one hand,the regime of the Eastern Han dynasty was established and consolidated by suppressing the interlinked rights and interests between the Yuan Dynasty and the Han Dynasty through the migration of ethnic groups,treating the anti-Han clan forces with cold eyes,not taking office,and fostering a large number of new forces.On the other hand,the position of the official ideology of Confucian classics was confirmed again,and it was emphasized that the sons of the rich families "practice the Confucian classics" and highly worship the Confucian classics,so as to set the model of Confucian classics for the sons of the rich families and attract them to work for Liu Han.Thus,the rulers of the Eastern Han completed the problem of the threat of the powerful clans and the separation of ideology,and incorporated the powerful clans into the ruling system of "becoming the vassal states of Han".As for Liu Han’s imperial power,the nobles accepted the guidance of Confucian classics and gained political,economic and military power to serve Liu Han.For the nobles,they accepted the gifts of the royal power and social power,and then sold their own dominant power to pay the price of guarding Liu Han for a long time.The basic framework of "Confucian classics is power" was formed.In the early Eastern Han Dynasty,under the basic framework of "Confucian classics is power",some military heroes catered to the guidance of imperial power in Confucian classics and gradually abandoned their military qualities and emerged as Confucian classics families.Families without military support also stepped into the political arena under this framework and became families of Confucian classics.Either in the central government or in the official position,most of the Confucian scholars adhered to the principles of Confucian classics and adhered to the political idea that monarchy was Paramount and people were the foundation of the nation,thus contributing their own strength to the revival of Liu Han’s regime.In the early Eastern Han Dynasty,it flourished,and was called "The Governance of The Ming Dynasty".Chapter after the emperor died,acceded to the throne,in turn,the emperor is young and can’t return to matter,consorts of the forces behind the young emperor,master the real power in the eastern Han dynasty palace,family and some classics into consorts,once happened between total ambrose of Confucian classics family,whether can observe the righteousness,maintenance,ambrose,become an important symbol of distinction.When conkind clans were in power,they attached great importance to cozying up to Confucian classics students in order to win a good social foundation.This meant that the social function of Confucian classics was not only to educate and select talents,but also to guide public opinion.For this reason,some Confucian classics families expanded their power by virtue of Confucian classics.After all,the consort was only a derivative of the imperial power.As the new emperor ascended the throne,there were always new powers at the top,and the consort’s power disappeared.They still had to return to politics by means of preaching.In emperor and consorts force in the struggle,the eunuch forces the development of the machine and increasingly,to Liang Ji rot,the eunuch heyday,the eunuch is different from Confucian classics family,failed to enlightenment by Confucian classics,only for blindly,the basic framework of Confucian classics namely power lose efficacy,classics of the family to obtain power is cut off,so Confucian classics family combined with Confucian classics of righteousness,referred to as "party".Two fierce struggles took place between the Party and the eunuchs,and both ended in defeat.The failure of the family alliance of Confucian classics almost declared the collapse of the framework of "Confucian classics is power",which maintained the symbiotic relationship between imperial power and Confucian classics family.Therefore,the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty was in great danger.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty,warlords were divided and wars continued.Under this background,the family of Confucian classics was divided.In terms of politics,some Confucian school families adhered to the political idea of "being the vassal of the Han Dynasty" and became the last guardian army of Liu Han.Some Confucian school families,by virtue of the strength accumulated in the Eastern Han Dynasty,separated themselves and became warlords,while some children of Confucian school families surrendered to warlords and became their wings.In terms of culture,the environment in which Confucian classics can be depended on no longer exists,and the field of thought has entered a very active,volatile,diverse and mutually permeating period.In such an active period,the Taoist thought advocating "noble life" and "seclusion" gradually rose up,and the family children of Confucian classics began to try to solve the problem of "Confucianism and Taoism combining" and "Confucianism and Taoism connecting",thus metaphysics gradually became the mainstream of academic and ideological.In addition,in this active period,the children of the Confucian classics family began to try to create literary works to express themselves,and literary creation began to get rid of the identity of political appendage,and the utilitarian literary concept lost its meaning.At this time,literary creation also became an important milestone in the history of Chinese literature.The family of Confucian classics was a group that could not be ignored in the Eastern Han Dynasty,and the occurrence and development of its power had a close relationship with the Eastern Han Society.First of all,the distribution of the Confucian families in each state and county showed a law of gradual decline to the periphery with Luoyang as the center,and the Confucian families in each region also showed different characteristics.The northeast and central Confucian family had more power and weight,the Shu Confucian family had more prophetic Yin and Yin,and the Long Confucian family had more military forces.Secondly,the characteristics of Confucian classics and martial arts coexist in the family of Confucian classics.These two characteristics are not contradictory,but mutually reinforcing.In addition,there is a close and mutually promoting relationship between the inheritance of Confucian classics and the continuation of social power in the family of Confucian classics.The inheritance of Confucian classics means the transmission of power,and the constant interaction of Confucian classics and power is one of the important characteristics of the family of Eastern Han Dynasty.
