The Revival of Confucianism: The
relevance of Confucian Thinking Reflected in the Educational System in
Contemporary China. Confucianism
can be defined as one of the most representative philosophies or religions in East Asia that had and continues to
have an important influence, both in China, where it has emerged, and in the
other countries of Asia, which have adapted the Confucian principles to their
own politics. In China, the influence of Confucianism made its presence felt in
all spheres of society in such a way that the Confucian model offered the
principles of governance based on humanism, harmony and an appropriate behavior
within the community. Chronologically, however, we can observe fluctuations of
Confucian influence, especially in the modern era of China, when, with the
change of government, a rejection from the traditional culture and a removal of
the tradition has taken place, in order to embrace the modernization according
to the model provided by the West. This distancing from the roots of one’s
own culture leads, in the long term, to the loss
of national identity and to a vacuum of spiritual values. Thus, in the
contemporary period, the Chinese government promotes a return of the country to
the old cultural traditions, in order to regain the values that have been lost
in time and to be able to promote their country, internationally, making use of
their millenary culture. The purpose of this article is to present how
Confucian values are currently reflected in the education of Chinese students, to
analyze the effects that this return to Confucianism has on Chinese society and
to present the ways in which Confucianism could be applied in education.
Keywords: Confucianism, Chinese society, culture, education.
