The Evolution of Zi Dao E Included in Shanghai Museum and Ziyou School's"Focusing on the Propriety and Righteousness"Thought
Zi Dao E included in Shanghai Museum does not record the fact that Zi You went north to seek help from Lu dynasty when Chen Cai was in distress,but tells the story of Zi You who was"raised"by Lu Sikou after Confucius's death,and left Lu dynasty in anger and lost his beloved son.Judging from the documents passed down from generation to generation,Ziyou has something in com-mon with the thoughts of the Zisi and Mencius school.Although both focus on inwardness and em-phasize substance,Ziyou advocates"emphasizing the essentials and having discipline",and later he has a tendency to focus on the propriety and righteousness rather than the details.Under Ziyou's in-fluence,the junior scholars appear not to do anything practical and then put forward the idea of"yielding to the secularity"and"attending to trifles and neglecting essentials",which deviate from Confucian morality.The evolution of Ziyou school's"focusing on the propriety and righteousness"thought is reflected in Zi Dao E,which not only confirms the scattered records of the thoughts and propositions of the Ziyou school in the handed-down literature,but also shows the essential difference between the school of Ziyou and the school of Zisi and Mencius.
