Zhou Dunyi's Analysis of the Moral Construction of Neo-Confucianism Orthodoxy——centering on the teaching of"seeking the joy of Confucius and Yanhui"
Influenced by the transformation of the scholarly and worldly styles in the early Northern Song Dynasty,Confucianism in the early Song Dynasty also had two different evolutionary routes.The Confucianists of the early Song Dynasty,represented by Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu,revived Confucianism from the approach of"the study of governing the country by politics",while the scholars of Neo-Confucianism represented by Zhou Dunyi and two Cheng revived Confucianism from the approach of the study of the inner sacred heart from the teaching of"seeking the joy of Confucius and Yanhui",and made efforts for the moral construction of Neo-Confucianism Orthodoxy.The ef-forts of Neo-Confucian scholars have been justified and illustrated on two levels:first,the significance of"seeking"lies in the affirmation of Confucian values and the conscious identification and return to Confucianism Orthodoxy;sec-ond,the personality and quality of the sages symbolized by Confucius and Yan are"learnable and respectable"in Zhou Dunyi's view.
