Features: Confucian studies laid the foundation for Chinese culture and thus became the baseline for its development. This book encompasses the inheritance of Confucian studies and the meanings discovered and acknowledged in different eras. It is a reliable and authoritative work. The book is a compilation of two works by the renowned scholar Xu Fuguan, "The Foundations of the History of Chinese Confucian Studies" and "The Era of the Establishment of the Zhou Gong and Its Ideological Character." The former traces the development of Chinese Confucian studies in a chronological manner, while the latter delves deeply into the popularity of Confucian studies during the Eastern Han Dynasty, using the Zhou Gong as an entry point. The two works intersect and complement each other, providing a comprehensive outline of the development of Chinese Confucian studies and its historical context.
