Based on the modern vision of globalization, the modern significance of the study of philosophers should be dialectically analyzed and cannot be generalized. The modern value of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism and Agriculture has both positive and negative aspects, which should be comprehensively analyzed. At present, there is a popular misunderstanding. It seems that when it comes to the value of modern civilization, many people think of the West first.
Judging from the value coordinates of modern civilization, many viewpoints of pre-Qin philosophers are not outdated, but have strong modern significance, which deserves close attention and in-depth study.
According to the standard of modern civilization, the study of Confucius and Mencius contains a lot of feudal consciousness, which is out of date. Such as three obedience and four virtues, inner saints and outer kings, the supremacy of rites and music, and obedience to punishment and politics. These views obviously do not conform to the spirit of the rule of law in modern society and the requirements of the times of governing the country according to law. In this respect, Xunzi's study has given a lot of enlightenment and reference to contemporary society.
