As the founders of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty,Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi not only had an important ideological elaboration on the Confucian theory of the inner sagelihood but also had many theoretical ideas on the cause of the outer kingliness that Confucianism emphasized.They have overcome the long-standing dilemma of the"outer kingliness"being disconnected with the"inner sagelihood",clarified the sequential relationship between learning and governance,and established a new governance system of"graciousness,sincerity,honesty,rectification,and governance".The Cheng Brothers'governance system is centered on the monarch.It emphasizes the importance of the monarch,focuses on the origin of the monarch's mentality,and puts forward expectations and requirements for the monarch.It reconstructs the corrupted po-litical and social order after three dynasties and becomes the core of later political thought.Their emphasis on the authority of the monarch and unique views on the monarch had an important impact on the development of the ancient Chinese monarchy,which was the result of the interaction of various thoughts in society at that time.
