1. Confucianism is a national study in a narrow sense, and Chinese culture in a broad sense is a hundred schools of thought such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

2. Sinology is based on the pre-Qin classics and the hundred schools of thought, and covers the essence of culture in various historical periods. In Chinese history, "Guoxue" refers to the concept of "Guozijian."

Led by the state-run schools, since the "Western learning to the East", compared to Western learning, it generally refers to "traditional Chinese ideological and cultural academics".

Confucianism. It is one of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes. Confucianism is also known as Confucianism or Confucianism and was created by Confucius.

Founded, which originally referred to the master of ceremonies, and later gradually developed into an ideological system with respect and humility as the core, it is the most influential school in China and the mainstream consciousness in ancient China. Confucianism has had a profound impact on China, East Asia, and the world.

The study of China is the study of Chinese culture. The term Sinology originated from the twenties of the last century, at present, Sinology has become a specialized study, the research object of Sinology is mainly Confucianism, and the thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought of the pre-Qin era also belong to the research object of Sinology. After nearly 100 years of development, the direction and research methods of Chinese studies have been expanded, including the study of Chinese language and culture, literature, history and customs.

In recent years, Chinese culture has also become an idea to promote the national spirit and protect the essence of traditional culture, and has received widespread attention from all levels of society.

Confucianism, also known as Confucianism, originated in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and "Taoism", "Mojia", "Legalism", "Yin and Yang" and other hundred schools, since the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor period, has become the orthodoxy of Chinese society, from Confucius, has a history of more than 2,500 years. With the change and development of society, Confucianism is constantly changing and developing in terms of content, form and social function. If we take a comprehensive macro examination of the content, form, and social function of Confucianism, some people believe that there are four distinct stages of historical development of Confucianism in China.

It can be said that Confucianism is the representative of Chinese culture, and Chinese culture covers Confucianism.

Confucianism. The meaning of the Confucian ideology and teachings, called the old government office state and county instructors, refers to Confucian scholars.

Later Han Shu Fangshu Biography Li He": "Father Jie, known as Confucianism, official to doctor".

Tang Mengsen Han Yu "Epitaph of Zhang Jun in Henan Ancient Tang Dynasty": "The emperor is obscured by the examination, advanced by Confucianism, and the official is to serve the imperial history".

What does Confucian scholar mean.

Confucianism is not equal to Chinese studies, which includes hundreds of schools of thought such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the content of Chinese studies covers the ideological doctrines of Confucianism.

The concept of Chinese culture and its difference from Confucianism:

1. Differences in research objects. The study of Confucianism is Confucianism, and the study of Chinese culture is based on the pre-Qin classics and the hundred schools of thought, which covers the two Han classics, Wei and Jin metaphysics, Sui and Tang dynasties, Song and Ming Dynasty science, Ming and Qing dynasty science and the same period of pre-Qin poetry, Han Fu, six dynasties and poetry, Tang and Song poetry, Yuan Qu and Ming and Qing dynasties, and a complete set of cultural and academic body and historical history.

2. Study Chinese studies, that is, Chinese studies. The term Sinology originated in the twenties of the last century, and now Sinology has become a specialized discipline.

3. Because Confucianism occupied a dominant position in ancient times, it has become the main research object in today's society.

4. Chinese traditional culture should not be regarded as Confucian culture in whole or mainly as Confucian culture, otherwise it will negate the fine traditions of traditional Chinese culture, and also negate the positive factors in Confucian culture. This is obviously not in line with the original face of traditional Chinese culture, and it is not the main purpose of promoting traditional Chinese culture in contemporary times.

Chinese Studies"It arose in the historical period of the eastward expansion of Western learning and cultural transformation. As for the definition of Chinese culture, strictly speaking, so far, the academic community has not given us a unified and clear definition. Famous people have different opinions, and there is no consensus.

It is generally said that Deng Shi, a nationalist faction, wrote in 1906:"Chinese scholar Ho? All the learning in a country.

There is land and life is on it, because it becomes a country, and those who have a country have their learning. Those who learn from one country should learn from one country for national use, and govern one country for the sake of self-government. "Mr. Deng's concept of Chinese culture is very broad, but it mainly emphasizes the applicability of Chinese culture.

Generally speaking, Sinology refers to traditional Chinese culture and scholarship with Confucianism as the main body. Since Sinology is Chinese traditional culture and academics, it undoubtedly includes medicine, drama, calligraphy and painting, astrology, mathematics, etc., which of course belongs to the category of Sinology, but it can also be said to be an extension of Sinology. Chinese studies should be divided into philosophy, history, religion, literature, etiquette, evidence, ethics, editions, etc., among which Confucian philosophy is the mainstream; In terms of ideology, it should be divided into the pre-Qin Zhuzi, Confucianism, Taoism, and interpretation, etc., Confucianism runs through and dominates the history of Chinese thought, and the other columns are subordinate; Sinology is divided into "Siku Quanshu", which should be divided into four parts: classics, history, children, and collections, but the classics and Zique Hu Peng are the most important, especially the scriptures.

The masters of Chinese culture include Wang Guowei, Zhang Zhongxing, Tang Wenzhi, Ye Man, Ji Xianlin, etc.

Chinese culture is not Confucianism, and Confucianism is also Chinese culture.

In recent years, there have been more and more people talking about Chinese culture, and it seems that they cannot be called Chinese people without talking about Chinese culture. However, in recent years, people who talk about Chinese culture talk about Confucianism (referred to as Confucianism) when they talk about Chinese culture, thinking that apart from Confucianism, there is no Chinese culture; Or think that only Confucianism is the real national culture.

Generally speaking, "Sinology" is also known as "Sinology" or "Sinology", which refers to traditional Chinese culture and scholarship. Sinology includes ancient Chinese philosophy, history, religion, literature, etiquette, research, ethics, traditional Chinese medicine, agriculture, mathematics, geography, politics, economy, calligraphy and painting, architecture, and many other aspects. The concept of "Chinese Studies" was born in the twenties of the twentieth century, when the wind of reform of "Western learning to the East" was in full swing, Zhang Zhidong, Wei Yuan and others put forward the concept of "middle school" (Chinese learning) in order to contrast with Western learning, and advocated "middle school as the body, Western learning as the use", on the one hand, to learn Western civilization, and at the same time to restore the two Han classics.

Sinology is based on the classics of the pre-Qin dynasty and the hundred schools of thought, covering a unique and complete cultural and academic system such as the classics of the Han Dynasty, the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Taoism of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the science of the Song and Ming dynasties, the practical studies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the pre-Qin poetry, Han Fu, the six dynasties, the poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties, the Yuan qu and the Ming and Qing dynasties. The hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes coexist and resonate, and there is no master-slave relationship, if the jujube is quietly judged according to the role of the period, each school of thought plays an explicit or implicit role in each period, but the field of action is different; Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", it was Confucianism that played a mainstream role in the field of ideological education, but other schools of thought also played an important role in different fields, such as Taoism and Legalism in the political field, Taoism in the military field, military medicine, Taoism and medicine in the field of medicine, and other schools in various fields (famous, Mohist, peasant......And so on, the mainstreaming of one area does not mean the whole thing. Therefore, there is no master-slave distinction between the various schools of Chinese studies, and there is no one school of thought as the main body.
