On Value Orientation of Ancient China's Confucian Philosophy

Confucianism, an important school of philosophy in ancient China, contains extensive knowledge and profound scholarship and radiates wide and far-reaching impact. Its fundamental spirit and value orientation can be generalized as "the doctrine of being saintly inside and kingly outside". This thought of Confucianism has been interpreted differently in the ancient times and the modern times, which involves such relationships as between internal cultivation and external utilization and between the Chinese traditional learning and the Western learning. The doctrine of "being saintly inside and kingly outside"as a value, its ontology is based on the ontology of "heavenly laws" and "human relations"in the heaven-man relationship, and its epistemology is based on the thinking of inner transcendence and the view of "integrating knowledge and behaviors".
