It examines the events from the 20th and 21st centuries to help unravel the reasons why Confucius belief endured within a rapidly modernizing China. Kong Fu-Tzu and Confucianism have undergone dramatic ups and downs during the 20th century in China, and the ideological/political struggles between the groups who worship Confucius and the 'anti-Confucius' groups have existed for half a century. Following the Cultural Revolution, the study of Kong Fu-Tzu and Confucianism has progressed further. The book sorts out Kong Fu-Tzu and Confucianism's history in the last century and analyzes important topics and issues. *** Librarians: ebook available (Series: Philosophy in Modern China) Subject: History, Asian Studies, Chinese Studies, Confucianism, Philosophy]
