On the Relationship between Confucian Classics and Confucianism
Because the four-part classification and Confucian classics began with the influence of Emperor Wudi's exclusive respect for Confucianism,in the study of Confucian classics and Confucianism,Confucianism has been used as a sub-study,which is a non-Confucian understanding.The Confucianism initiated by Confucius is the Confucianism of the gentleman,and Dr.Emperor Wu of Han's Liwujing is on-ly the result of the development of Confucianism in the pre-Qin and early Han Dynasties,the essence of classics and Confucianism is exactly the same,and they are both the theories of expounding and inheriting the five classics and the Common Dao.
