Abstract

Lee two and in the early Qing Dynasty and Sun Xiafeng xi Yu said it was too human "at home and three Confucianism." Two peaks with the summer on two concentric theory in science are a series of Lu and Wang Cheng, a priori very influential willing to recognize the backbone of Confucianism. Lin Jiping modern people in its "Lee two studies," a book that advocated by the National Yang-Ming "stereo up with the" science of the adults in the "only moral subject, there is no known role in the body after which can really make up for the missing, Only two of the Ming applicable learn. "I believe that the two pairs of the body known for its initiatives that made ​​the body when applied to meet the needs of the era of statecraft. This paper by the plight of Ming and Qing Dynasties Confucian concern with the two core issues; two pairs of "Confucianism" and "learn" the meaning of historical criticism and philosophical analysis; two to "Ming apply" the proposition definition of "Confucianism "The meaning of features; two Confucian concept of the learning context and their knowledge off the body in its pros and cons of Confucianism in the review, to examine the two Confucian concept of the formation of the Panorama. Li Er-qu was called one of the three prominent Confucians in the early Qing Dynasty besides Sun Xia-Feng and Huang Zong-xi. Li and Sun were the successors of Lu and Wang's school in terms of the Neo- Confucian theories about mind-nature, recognizing the transcendental essence of morality as the corpus of Confucianism. Now according to The Study of Li Er-qu by Lin Ji-ping, Wang Yang-ming's virtuous doctrine about the "utilization of the fundamental entity" has only morality subjects instead of knowledge subjects, while the only thing that could fill in the missing part afterwards is Li Er-qu's doctrine about understanding and timely utilizing the fundamental entity. We believe that Li's suggestion about "knowledge subjects" owed itself to the need of the times to advocate understanding and timely utilizing the fundamental entity as well as to improve the world. This paper is intended to explore various aspects about the formation of Li Er-qu's views about Confucianism through the predicament of Confucianism during the turn between the Ming and the Qing Dynasties, the essential issues that Li cared about, Li's historical critique and philosophical analyses about Confucianism and knowledge, how Li defined the features of Confucianism with the proposition of "understanding and timely utilizing the fundamental entity", the context of the doctrine of Guan as part of his Confucianism, and the merits of knowledge subjects in his views about Confucianism
