The reason why Confucianism can stand out from the contention of a hundred schools of thought and become the mainstream culture of ancient China society is that Confucianism is rooted in the inherent culture of our society and has formed a set of subtle ideological system conducive to interpersonal harmony and social stability.
With the changes of the times, there are constantly new masters who make new interpretations of Confucianism, so that Confucianism can adapt to the new social situation and keep up with the new pace of the times.
Under the background of modernity, humanistic Confucianism, as an ontological form, mainly covers the three-dimensional value space of life Confucianism, ethical Confucianism and ecological Confucianism. Perhaps, the three-dimensional space of humanistic Confucianism can provide the best choice to respond to the current problems of modernity, while modernity provides the soil for life Confucianism, ethical Confucianism and ecological Confucianism to "return to the original" and "innovate". Life Confucianism, ethical Confucianism and ecological Confucianism all embody the essence of Confucian culture, that is, humanistic spirit. It is not difficult to find that Confucianism itself shows us a vivid and endless picture of society, history and life, and it is an all-round value concern for mankind. It is in sharp contrast with the phenomena of human negativity, pessimism, despair, dislocation of social values, clash of civilizations, hegemony and struggle caused by the disintegration of human values, indifference between people and the deterioration of the relationship between man and nature under the background of modernity.
Confucianism not only represents China's ancient orthodoxy, but also is the cultural essence of the Chinese nation, which has important reference value for our social development today and even the construction of human society in the future.
