The issue of how Confucianism was developed in the Polar Silk Road takes a fascinating role in the emerging subjects of constructing Chinese independent knowledge system as well as the Sino-European faith interactions.As distinct with previous theoretical paradigms,the Nordic context concerns more about the metaphysical dialogue between the Confucian faith and their native Lutheran protestant theology.As a mirror of reflecting Scandinavian Confucianism,the Finnish translation demonstrates a feature of theological interpre-tation of Confucianism which runs throughout the ecumenical practice of Nordic modern missionaries in China such as Kalle Korhonen and Toivo Koskikallio.However,this approach has gone beyond the traditional theo-logical framework and moves on to the inner doctrinal interpretation of Confucianism itself.This revivification of inner Confucian spiritual life reflects a complicated adjustment between conflicting values in the Confucian-Christian dialogue involving a systematic interaction between metaphysics,ethics as well as the related termi-nologies,thus offering a new theoretical perspective for constructing modern Chinese independent knowledge system and the communication practice of introducing Chinese philosophy to the European faith traditions.
