On the Issue of How to Define Confucius' Idea of loyalty and Remission

The idea of loyalty and Remission is the core of Confucius' doctrine on ethics and morality. Its definitions are different from one other among different scholars. The current definition, however, does not accord with Confucius' intentional idea. This will necessarily affect the wide spread and the competitive power of the important idea in the international scholarship during the era of globalization. In defining it, attention must be paid to the fact that the term of "loyalty and Remission" actually indicates "remission" as the result of "loyalty", not merely the juxtaposition of "loyalty" and "remission".
