A few days later, Wuhan issued an anti-Japanese declaration. Later, he moved to Chongqing, presided over the establishment of Confucius Institute, organized famous scholars, held discussions and lectures, and studied and carried forward Confucius' academic thoughts and national spirit. At that time, scholars from all directions gathered in Chongqing and debated the old and new concepts and methods of traditional cultural research. Kong Decheng has been hit hard. He studied under the famous scholar Wang, and his research methods were also influenced by his friends and Qu Wanli.
Wu Xiangxiang, a historian, pointed out that Kong Decheng found the right direction in the academic jungle when he was weak: to be a pure scholar instead of pretending to be orthodox.
