Cơ sở hình thành Nho giáo

Tóm tắt

This article includes two periods. Period 1 discusses about the economic, political and social conditions for the formation of Confucianism. In terms of economic condition, it is a new evolution: irons were made and widely used in ancient China. Chinese people at that time knew how to use pulling force. As a result, carpentry, handicrafts and the economy generally developed, and economic development led to significant social changes, for example, the trading was characterized by the trafficking of the king! The slaves were not buried alive together with their dead owners, and thus the value of slaves was increased considerably. Basing on the politic conditions, during the wartime period of ancient China, numerous wars occurred and countries fight fiercely. Until 221 BC, the mighty Qin conquered all small and weak states, leading to the uniting of the whole China, and ending the war era. Period 2 discusses about the previous cultural ideologies contributing to the formation of Confucianism. It is a treasure trove of ancient Chinese folk songs and a collection of historical titles namely Kinh thu, both of which contain many Confucius ideas. They were the theory of Eight Triggers, Five Elements, Yin and Yang explaining the origin of the world. It was the thought of Lao Tzu, a great scholar and a master of Confucianism who explained the origin of the universe and opposites of a thing.
