The Evolution of the Confucian Concept of Righteous War in the Pre-Qin Period
As an extreme political conflict,the emergence of war is a disaster.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period,with the degeneration of"international"norms and the change of the nature of war,the Pre-Qin Confucians hoped to achieve political stability in the world by reg-ulating domestic politics.However,the cruel reality forced Confucians to regard war as an alternative,u-tilizing it to achieve peace through war.They advocated that war should be based on righteousness,and that the initiation,conduct,and aftermath of war should all conform to corresponding ethical standards.
