On Yushima Seido in the Perspective of"Confucianism"Space
Although there are still debates over whether"Confucianism"is a religion,"Confucianism",as a social fact,does demonstrate the characteristic of"the unity of worship and education(祭教-致)"and presents a unique existence mode.Considering Confucianism as a historical phenomenon from the empirical perspective,its typical manifestations include the establishment of institutions,such as Confucian temple schools or academies and so on,forming the layout of"the integration of temple and school(庙学合一)"and the functions of sacrifice and education.The oversea spread of Confucian studies brought the transplantation of the layout and structure of"Confucianism"space,which continued the worship tradition and educational function of the original"Confucianism"while also appeared some localized expression.Taking the"the integration of temple and school"as the leading clue,Yushima Seido demonstrates the concretization of practice in Confucianism in terms of contextual features,ritual functions,officials'selection and belief in sages,and completed its localization in the tension of the relationship between worship and education.
