Features: For a long time, academia has attached great importance to the study of Zhang Taiyan's thought, and numerous monographs and papers have been published on this subject. The author of this paper is familiar with the research in this field. However, existing research on Zhang's Confucian thought is relatively weak and lacks overall and systematicity. Not only has there been no specialized work published, but there are also many issues regarding Zhang's Confucian thought that remain to be raised for in-depth discussion. This paper is a specialized monograph that conducts an overall and systematic in-depth study of Zhang Taiyan's Confucian thought, based on the absorption and reference of existing research results. Second, preliminary democratic thought. Criticizing feudal autocracy is a major reflection of the pragmatic spirit of enlightenment thinkers during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The thoughts of Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, Tang Zhen, and others to some extent contain elements of opposing feudal authoritarianism.
