Kong Decheng was greatly impacted. He took Wang Xiantang, a famous scholar, as his teacher, and his academic methods were also influenced by his friends Fu Sinian and Qu Wanli.
Wu Xiangxiang, a historian, pointed out that Kong Decheng had found a correct direction in the academic jungle at the age of weak crown: to be a pure scholar, not to pretend to be orthodox.

Because the 77th generation of Kong Decheng was taken to Taiwan Province by Chiang Kai-shek when the mainland was liberated, all its descendants were in Taiwan Province. Please refer to the following information: Kong Decheng (192-28), whose name was Yuru, was named Da Sheng. A native of Qufu, Shandong Province, was the grandson of Confucius for seventy-seven generations. In the same year, on April 2th of the lunar calendar (June 6th of the Gregorian calendar), when the centenary was over, President Xu Shichang issued an order to attack and seal it as "Duke Yansheng". In 1935, Nanjing national * * * changed the title of Duke Yansheng to "an official who worships the sage of Dacheng" and enjoyed the treatment of a special official. On July 8th of that year, presided over by Chen Lifu and supervised by Dai Chuanxian, he was sworn in in Nanjing, and was personally congratulated by Chairman Jiang Zhongzheng. The following year, I married Ms. Sun Qifang, the granddaughter of Sun Jianai (1827-199), a former Qing official. When getting married, it is very interesting that Kong Decheng is wearing a gown and mandarin jacket, while his wife is wearing a white wedding dress, commonly known as "the combination of Chinese and western" marriage. On the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese tried to send personnel to Qufu several times and invited them to Japan to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Confucius Temple in Japan, but they were all rejected. At the beginning of July 1937, Sun Tongxuan, the commander of the 72nd Division in Yanzhou, was instructed by Chairman Jiang Zhongzheng to arrange for Kong Decheng and his wife to leave their hometown overnight. A few days later, an anti-Japanese declaration was issued in Wuhan. Later, he moved to Chongqing and went to the United States to inspect the culture in 1948. In 1949, he moved to Taiwan Province with the national * * *, rebuilt the Taipei Family Temple and advocated Confucianism. Since 1955, he has been a part-time professor in the Chinese Department and Anthropology Department of Taiwan Province University, teaching the courses of "Three Rites Research", "Bronze and Yi Ware Research". Gong calligraphy, starting with the two kings, turned to Yan style and Zhang Menglong tablet in the Northern Wei Dynasty. On November 15th, 25, Taiwan Province University celebrated its 77th anniversary and 6th anniversary of restructuring, and awarded Kong Decheng an honorary doctorate. Li Sichuan, president of National Taiwan University, said that Kong Decheng instructed teachers and students of Chinese and human departments to study "etiquette" by means of experiment and recovery, which was a model of interdisciplinary integration. As the 77th descendant of Confucius, he promoted Confucian culture and promoted national diplomacy all his life. On the day of the ceremony, accompanied by her granddaughter Kong Chuijiu, Kong Decheng said modestly that she had taught at NTU for 5 years and made little contribution. He was grateful and ashamed. The motto of National Taiwan University, "Be honest, study hard, love your country and love your lover", is the basic spirit of traditional education. He encouraged himself by it and encouraged his classmates. At 1: 5am on October 28th, 28, he died peacefully at the Taipei Branch of Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital at the age of 89 due to heart and lung failure. Mr. and Mrs. Kong Decheng have two sons and two daughters and five grandchildren. The eldest daughter Kong Weie is in the United States, the eldest son Kong Weiyi died first, the second son Kong Weining, the eldest grandson Kong Chuichang and the great grandson Youren. Why is Kong Decheng the last Duke Yansheng? Why isn't his son Duke Yansheng?
Because the title of Duke Yansheng has been cancelled after Kong Decheng. Duke Yansheng refers to the hereditary title of Sun Zi, the eldest son of Confucius, which began in the Song Dynasty and went through the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing and the Republic of China. Until 1935, the national * * * changed the title of Duke Yansheng Comte to become an official to worship the sage of Dacheng.
Since the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the feudal monarchy in China, the feudal autocracy that lasted for more than two thousand years ended. As a remnant of feudalism, the royal family in Qing Dynasty gradually lost its status and eventually disappeared, but the same hereditary Duke Yansheng still continued as the China orthodoxy.
Although Kong Decheng inherited the old title, he accepted new ideas. When he was 15 years old, that is, in the 24th year of the Republic of China, he felt that the hereditary title should not exist in the Republic of China, and he took the initiative to request Nanjing national * * * to revoke the title of "Duke Yansheng". However, the national * * * thought that the orthodoxy could not be abolished, but changed Duke Yansheng to be an official who offered sacrifices to the great sage and became the only hereditary special official in the Republic of China.

1. Brief introduction of Duke Yansheng:
Duke Yansheng, the hereditary title of the eldest son of Confucius, began in 155 [Song Zhihe two years] and went through Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China until 1995.
The canonization of descendants of Confucius began in 195 BC [the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu], and the 8th grandson of Confucius was named as a sacrificial monarch. Since then, the eldest grandson of Confucius has been given a hereditary title. In the following thousand years, the title has been changed repeatedly, until it was changed to Duke Yansheng in 155 [the 2nd year of the Song Dynasty], and it was once changed to a saint, and then it was returned to Duke Yansheng. Since then, the title has been followed by future generations.
in 1935 [twenty-four years of the Republic of China], the title of Duke Yansheng was cancelled by the Republic of China * *, and it was renamed as an official to worship the sage of Dacheng. The grandson of Confucius, the 77th generation, attacked Kong Decheng, Duke Yansheng, the 31st generation, and became the last Duke Yansheng, the first great sage to worship an official.
Duke Yansheng was a privileged big noble in the feudal society of China. In the Song Dynasty, he was equivalent to an eight-rank official. In the Yuan Dynasty, he was promoted to a three-rank official. In the early Ming Dynasty, he was the first in the class of civil servants. In the Qing Dynasty, he was also chartered to ride horses in the Forbidden City and walk on the Imperial Road. Duke Yansheng Mansion (now Confucius Mansion), where he lived, is the largest mansion in China, second only to the Imperial Palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Confucius family in Qufu was given a posthumous gift by emperors of all dynasties, with a well-organized pedigree and was knighted in the world.
Duke Yansheng, thanks to the glory of his ancestor Confucius, became a special duke in China's history, enduring from generation to generation, with a prominent position. He snuggled up with the imperial court and became the first Confucius House in the world, which was also amazing in China and even in the world.
II. Brief introduction of Kong Decheng:
Kong Decheng (February 23, 192—October 28, 28), whose name was Yu Ru, was named Da Sheng, the 77th generation grandson of Confucius, attacked and sealed the 31st generation Duke Yansheng (the last generation Duke Yansheng), and later became an official of Dacheng Zhisheng.

No, only Duke Yansheng of every generation can live in Confucius.
Confucius' mansion is the residence of the eldest son and grandson of Confucius' descendants, and also the official office and private residence of Duke Yansheng in past dynasties. In the early days, there were only three old houses of Confucius, and their descendants worshipped Confucius in the humble old house and built houses according to the temple. Today's Confucius House was gradually developed and expanded with the continuous improvement of Confucius' status in the long years to come.
Confucius' lineal branch is dedicated to Confucius, and originally lived in his old home in Queli, which was called "attacking and sealing the house". With the rise of Confucius' position and his descendants' official positions, the residence of Confucius is expanding day by day.
during the Cao Wei period, the temple was "widely used as a house to house scholars" and taught. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were dozens of houses for descendants of Confucius. By the Jin Dynasty, the residence for descendants of Confucius had buildings in the east of the temple, such as guest house, guest seat, zhaitang, curtilage hall, Enqing hall and Shuanggui hall.
