The evolution of Confucianism-Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism, "nature is reason"-Zhou, Zhang, Cheng and Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, "heart is reason"-Xiangshan and Yangming's Mind Studies-the cultural response of neo-Confucianism-the spread of western learning to the east, the rise of Confucian cultural circles, and so on.
The concepts of Confucianism, Confucianism and Confucianism should be distinguished. Confucianism, as a theory, as a stratum and as a belief, is both the same and different, and needs to be distinguished.

The important social influence of Confucianism lies in that it created a set of theoretical and ideological system for the feudal ruling class to govern the country and society, and enabled the ruling class in China to successfully apply it to the practice of social state governance in China, and gained a glorious history of human development in which the feudal society ruled China for more than 2,000 years, which is unprecedented in the history of human social development in the world.
The essence of Confucianism lies in its social ethics, which makes farmers slaves to social morality. As the core of social consciousness of the superstructure of the feudal ruling class, this feudal ethics has the widest influence on governing the mass base of society, thus achieving the ideal effect of dual governance of the state and society.
