| | The Neo-Confucian Confrontation with Buddhism |
| | Emptiness conceptualizes a thoroughly Buddhist universe which is diametrically opposed to the Neo-Confucian world of Principle and to which Ch'an Buddhism is not an exception. | | | To the extent that Buddhist Emptiness entails a t'i which does not of itself generate yung, it is not a "creative reality" and is thus rejected by the orthodox Neo-Confucians as metaphysically nihilistic. | | | As is well known,a large part of this orthodox Neo-Confucian attack on Buddhism as amoral was focused on the Buddhist institution of monasticism or "leaving the home" (ch'u-chia) (bc) which was an obvious affront to the Neo-Confucian valuation of the family as the basis of the Neo-Confucian ethical system of the Five Human Relationships (wu-lun)(bd). |

| | Modern Neo-Idealistic Confucianism |
| | The doctrines of modern neo-idealistic Confucianism is a combination of the idealistic tradition of the Sung-Ming dynasties and idealism in other traditions, notably that of the Buddhist tradition. | | | Neo-Idealist Confucianism is represented by the modern Confucianist thinkers, Hsiung Shih-li (1885-1968) and Liang Su-ming (1893-1988), both of whom first engaged with Buddhism, and then turned to Confucianism and became the modern representatives of the neotraditional expression of the Lu-Wang School. | | | Modern neo-idealistic Confucianism is only a rough name for a group of Confucian scholars who endeavoured to revive the idealistic Confucian tradition in a complicated and difficult situation during the twenties and thirties of this century. |

| | Moreover, the Thomistic argument for the survival of an immaterial soul apart from the material body assumed a juxtaposition of essential substance with incidental attributes, a coupling which Neo-Confucians found puzzling, since they were more accustomed to pairing substance with function as two sides of the same coin. | | | Han urged the Chinese Emperor to weaken Buddhism and restore Confucian values by laicizing Buddhist monks (in ki in), literally "make human beings of those human beings", with the noun "human being" serving as a verb in the sense of "to turn into normal human beings". | | | A particularly relevant example of such verbalization is a line used by Han Yu (768-824), in his condemnation of Buddhism, that was often cited by Confucian polemicists for centuries afterwards. |

| | The Confucians did not seriously engage the Buddhists on the metaphysical level until the Neo-Confucian revival of the Sung. | | | But emerging late as it did,the metaphysical charge must be viewed as the most basic in terms of the philosophical consciousness of the orthodox Neo-Confucians.It is rather ironic that while the importance of metaphysics in Neo-Confucianism is usually recognized, the metaphysical significance of the Neo-Confucian confrontation with Buddhism is not always fully appreciated. | | | Of all the Confucian charges against Buddhism as heterodox, the one Buddhist metaphysics emerged relatively late in time. |

| | Later, however, Legge came to the view that the Confucian and Daoist texts were alternative ways of reaching ultimate truths, although his view was based on the erroneous belief that buried beneath the Chinese tradition was an obscured monotheistic revelation -- reflected, for example, in the worship of Shangdi (High Lord) and Tian (Heaven). | | | The Confucian sage, who symbolizes the potential perfection of human nature, is attuned to the flow of change in the natural and social environment and responds spontaneously, directly, and appropriately, with no need for intervening calculation or cogitation. | | | This is one aspect of the religious character of Confucianism, which can easily be missed by observers taking a narrowly-defined perspective on the tradition, a perspective based largely on a limited number of texts and a bias for a model of religion derived from Western prototypes. |

| | Confucianism as passed down to the 20th and 21st centuries derives primarily from the school of the Neo-Confucians, led by Zhu Xi, who gave Confucianism renewed vigour in the Song and later dynasties. | | | If the definition used is worship of supernatural entities, the answer may be that Confucianism is not a religion, but then this definition could also be used to argue that many traditions commonly held to be religious (Buddhism, some forms of Islam, etc.) are also not, in fact, religions. | | | Thus, Confucianism is often considered an ethical tradition and not a religion. |

| | Confucianism |
| | Although the renaissance of Confucianism was prompted by the Confucian rejection of the 'foreign religion' Buddhism, in responding to the problems Buddhism and Taoism raised, Neo-Confucianism actually and perhaps unconsciously incorporated Buddhist and Taoist elements into Confucian doctrines in the form of developing some passages in the ancient classics, particularly the Book of Changes. | | | Confucianism intertwined with the doctrines of the yin-yang and the Five Elements and even with the popularly apocryphal writings, in which Confucianism was interpreted in religious, mystical and prophetic terms, and Confucius himself was taken as the 'uncrowned king'. | | | Reformed Confucianism was propagated in the name of reviving the New Text School of the Han dynasty, and for a while became a powerful current in the establishment of Confucianism as the state religion, as Christianity was in the west. |
