Features: Political Confucianism refers to the Confucianism centered on the Spring and Autumn Annals of Gongyang School in the Han Dynasty, which is concerned with the construction of systems. Unlike New Confucianism, which mostly aims at "Xin-xing Confucianism" (Heart-Mind Confucianism), the authors stand on a comprehensive understanding of Confucianism, opening up a new research direction for Confucian studies. Their fundamental concern lies in the in-depth study of Chinese history and culture, the re-examination of China's unique national conditions distinct from the West, and the dedication to exploring the rich intellectual resources in political Confucianism that resonate with modernization, thereby providing a basis for China's political system construction. This line of thought inherits the tradition of Jin-wen classics studies by Gong Zizhen, Wei Yuan, and Kang Youwei in the late Qing Dynasty. The series of views proposed by the authors are eye-opening, prompting deeper reflection. The main purpose of this book is to emphasize "Political Confucianism," which, relative to "Xin-xing Confucianism," refers to the political wisdom of the Confucian tradition. Based on the stance of classical Chinese political thought, the book conducts in-depth critical analysis of contemporary New Confucianism, the argument for complete Westernization, and the political ideas of liberalism. This kind of research is currently still blank in China. The authors' analysis and critique are meticulous, with arguments that many have not yet proposed, demonstrating that they have given years of thought to this topic and possess unique insights. Therefore, many of the arguments in this book are meaningful and valuable, and its publication in this series will likely spark further discussion and research.
