Confucianism is a realistic thought, while Christianity is a religious thought. Confucianism is realistic and Christianity is romantic. They have brought different influences to the society and formed different systems. Confucian culture and Christian culture occupy a very important position in both Chinese and western cultures. For more than 2,000 years, Confucianism has been dominant in China culture. They play an important role in the formation of Chinese and western ideas, the development of economy, science and technology, and even the shaping of personal character.

In the process of building a new socialist culture with China characteristics, we will make a comparative study of Confucian culture and Christian culture, and discuss the differences between the two cultures and their mutual influence. They can learn from each other and influence each other. Their views will have a long-term and far-reaching impact on society.

Comparison of political influence between Confucian culture and Christian culture;

Confucianism does not talk about gods and ghosts, and advocates "heaven". "Man is born the king of trees, which is also beneficial" (Zuo Zhuan Wen Zhuan Gong) and "God bless the people and be king. As a teacher, you only respect God and pamper all directions "(The Book of Songs and Qin Shi) and" The son of heaven is the parents of the people and thinks he is the king of the world "(The Book of Songs and Hong Fan).

All the above theories flaunt that "heaven" or "god" can't do whatever they want, and it needs the artificial hand of the son of heaven or emperor to do it. As the saying goes, "Heaven does it for him", so "the emperor lives fast, and he is the king of the world when he is elected" (The Book of Songs, Great Mo Yu). This is the Confucian concept of "heaven". In addition, Confucianism does not have the concept of "original sin", so emperors of all dynasties were deified and rose to the same position as God.

So, "all over the world, is it the land of kings?" It is impossible to be a king on the land and coast, so the combination of "heaven" and "great unity" deprives the people of their natural political rights. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the Confucian "general theory" about monarch and minister, monarch and minister, father and son, husband and wife directly stipulated the inequality of people's rights, and then there was the patriarchal clan system of "involving nine families".

This is completely different from the Bible's doctrine that "everyone is a teacher", can and must be independent and directly responsible to God, and "obey in truth".
