Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The political thought of Confucian is ruling without intervention. As a state of pacific society, Confucian believed, the society of ruling without intervention must possess three characteristics: enough foods, no wars and honesties prevail. In Confucian’s idea, ruling based on moral is only a way to ruling without intervention. It is based on an order of rite, spirit of humanity. The political thoughts of ruling without intervention kept abreast of time, and represent the progressive appeal of the general public. Confucian’s idea is more active than the thought of Lao Zi. Since the time of emperor in Han dynasty, many rulers had abandoned the thought of ruling without intervention. Thousands-year’s worship to Confucian is only to use his fame to disguise the changes to his ideas.
