Abstract
Confucius was the Sage respected by the feudal rulers, and the Confucianism founded by Confucius was the legal basis of feudal autocracy. In the modern times Kang Youwei re-portrayed the image of Confucius and recovered Confucianism using the western science in order to protect the local culture and save the national cultural crisis, thus his unique viewpoints on Confucius and Confucianism came into being, which had a far-reaching influence on both the society at that time and following generations.
