Abstract

Dong Zhongshu was named as supernatural being and wizard, while Augustine was a leading authority in Christian religious philosophy. Their ideology cannot divide from mythology. But if a comparison is done between the concept of Dong Zhongshu's Heaven and that of Augustine' s God, Dong Zhongshu's relationship between Heaven and Human, and Augustine's deity and human, it will not be difficult to discover that like all Confucius intellectuals, Dong Zhongshu lack initiative and enthusiasm of constructing a complete deity world, Dong studies cannot follow the development of the western religion route.
