Although it is closely related to Confucian classics, its value orientation is different and its meaning is broader, covering all kinds of traditional scholarship in the Confucian classics and history.

In recent years, more and more people are talking about Chinese Studies. It seems that if you don’t talk about Chinese Studies, you cannot be called a Chinese.

"Shuowen Jiezi": "Ru, soft, is called a magician. To follow others, you need to speak." Xu Hao's note: "A person who is soft is called a Confucian, so he is called a scholar. "Confucianism" is originally a contemptuous term. The title of Confucius is not the title of Confucius himself, but the Mohist name for Confucius' school."
