Abstract
New Confucianism chooses democracy as its core in the course of rebuilding the value system of Chinese culture.Democracy includes two levels: system and culture.The system of emperor inheriting the authority in ancient China leads to continuous disorders.And in traditional Chinese culture the democratic element is included such as the world for all by Confucian scholars,the ideal of personality equality and so on.New Confucianism discards the traditional institution and values the importance of mind and moral reason and thinks that Chinese culture is the live objective spiritual life,which is the root of the thought of new outside king from inside sage.
