what is neo-confucianism and its nature.
Answers
Explanation:
Neo-Confucianism. The intellectual activities of the Song (Sung) dynasty (960-1279) gave rise to a new system of Confucian thought based on a mixture of Buddhist and Taoist elements; the new school of Confucianism was known as Neo-Confucianism.
In Neo-Confucianism traditional Confucian ethics dictate life in the material world while Buddhist tradition informs an individual's spiritual life. Neo-Confucians believe that the correct way of living (the Heavenly Way) is expressed in two forms: principle (li) and matter (qi).
Neo-Confucianism” is the name commonly applied to the revival of the various strands of Confucian philosophy and political culture that began in the middle of the 9th century and reached new levels of intellectual and social creativity in the 11th century in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Neo-Confucianism could have been an attempt to create a more rationalist and secular form of Confucianism by rejecting superstitious and mystical elements of Taoism and Buddhism that had influenced Confucianism during and after the Han Dynasty.
In Confucian teaching, the family is the most basic unit of society. Everyone should respect and obey his or her parents and put the interests of the family before personal interests. This attitude of “filial piety” extended also to ancestors.
