In the new stage of socialist modernisation construction, which has made great achievements and social development, China has been facing many problems. It is in this context, some “mainland neo-Confucianists” advocate the comprehensive revival of Confucianism; rebuilding the spiritual home of the Chinese people with Confucian thought at the core; and using Confucian political wisdom and guiding principles to transform China’s political reality, i.e., “replacing Marxism-Leninism with Confucianism” and “Confucian-ising the Communist Party”. This raises the question of how to understand Confucianism and its functions, and how to treat Confucian culture in the process of the Chinese nation’s search for the path of revival and development. This article intends to explore this issue.
