Features: The Original Confucianism is the representative work of Mr. Xiong Shili in discussing Confucian thought. The book is divided into an upper volume, The Original Academic Lineage and The Original External King, and a lower volume, The Original Inner Sage. Based on Confucian classics such as the Book of Changes, the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Rites of Zhou, it comprehensively examines and analyzes, discussing the purpose and connotations of Confucius's political and ethical thought that founded the Confucian school. It criticizes the misinterpretations and forced analogies of later generations toward Confucius's orthodox Confucian thought. At the same time, it takes the realities of modern political life as its foundation to explore the new developments of Confucian thought and its impact and contributions to modern and contemporary China, thereby seeking theoretical support for China's modernization.
