Research on the process over Lu Shiyi's Being Honored at the Confucian Temple in Qing Dynasty
Based on the views of inheriting the respect of the Zhu deposed king and other aristocrats,Neo Confucianism scholars in Qing Dynasty such as Lu Longqi gave mixed praise and criticism to the figures of Lu Shiyi and the Confucian concept of righteousness and reason.After Lu's death,the gentry of Taicang State respected him as a villainous man,and accompanied him to Local Academy.With the circulation ofSibianlu,QuanZuwang and Tang Shuqi preached for him,and Lu's fame became more prominent.At the request of the local state,The Qing government agreed to enshrine Lu Shiyi in the Confucian Temple,Lu Shiyi was successfully sacrificed into the Confucian temple as a mainstream of Confucianism in the first year of Guangxu.With the society and politics falling into chaos in the late Qing Dynasty,The Qing government allowed many Confucianists being honored at the Confucian Temple,while Lu Shiyi's evaluation of other characters was objective and fair,he was praised and shaped as an authentic descendant of Confucianism.Under the joint construction of the Qing government and regional effort of Jiangnan,Lu Shiyi became a generation of outstanding Confucian figures in China.
