Rethinking the Study of the"Neo-Confucian"Academic Group in Hong Kong and Taiwan:An Examination Centered on the Divergences in Xu Fuguan and Mou Zongsan's Interactions,Journal Management,and Scholarly Discussions
It is generally believed that the second generation of Neo-Confucianists in Hong Kong and Taiwan,represented by Xu Fuguan and Mou Zongsan,had a common value position of warm respect for traditional culture,presenting to the outside world an intuitive impression of sharing weal or woe and standing together through thick and thin.But through the interpretation of the correspondence between Xu Fuguan,Mou Zongsan and Tang Junyi,it becomes evident that Xu and Mou had considerable disagreements over the management style and content orientation of the journal Minzhu pinglun(Democracy Review).Additionally,their interpretations and academic viewpoints on Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties also differed significantly,with their differences outweighing their similarities.Starting from the formation of the academic context of the"Neo-Confucian"group,this paper reveals the underlying tensions and disagree-ments in thinking patterns,social practices,and academic pursuits that existed beneath the seemingly har-monious interactions between Xu and Mou.This has undeniable value in deepening the study of the history of Neo-Confucianism in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the second half of the 20th century.
