On the Succession and Promotion of Confucianism in Huizhou Civilization

From the South Song dynasty on, Huizhou has been known all over China as the hometown of Zhu Xi and the south eastern Lu Kingdom. So confucianism has penetrated Huizhou civilization at all levels. Huizhou is typical of local civilization, which is closely related to Chinese civilization whose important symbol is Confucianism. Confucianism is not only the essence of Huizhou civilization, but also its practical expressing form. The relationship between them is virtually that of local civilization and Chinese civilization. They are a dialectical unity, that is, local civilization has enriched and developed Chinese civilization; however, Chinese civilization, on the other hand, has influenced and directed the local civilization. They both are in the interactive development.
