adverse effects

Imperial examination.
This test had been carried out in accordance with taught of Confucianism.

The Qin dynasty that is a first unified dynasty of China. (221BC-206BC)
This era Confucianism received a large crackdown and faded.

However，reign of "Liu Bang" of the founder of the Han dynasty.　(劉邦 Reign 202BC-195BC)

"Confucianism is valid to restore order in the society.
I will adopt confucianism to ritual of the dynasty."
　
Confucianism was revived gradually by this decision of his.
And reign of "Emperor Wu" of seventh emperor of the Han dynasty. (武帝 Reign 141BC-87BC)　
Confucianism has established itself as the state religion finally.

Even if dynasties were changed，position of Confucianism did not change.
(It was enhanced in reverse.)
And this position became decisive by the practice of the imperial examination.

"Mysterious events.
Confucius did not talk about it."
(For example，about strangeness，superhuman strength，chaos and God.)

There is a description like this in Analects of Confucius.

"Attitudes like this.
This is the attitude to be taken by the wise man."

In response to this，Confucian scholar seems to have taught that way.

"Yes，attitudes like this.
In short，adverse effects of Confucianism.
Development of fiction literature of China may have been inhibited by this."

Lu Xun who is father of modern Chinese literature. (魯迅 1881-1936)
Early 20th century，he said so.

Note：There is this fact of Lu Xun surely.
But this his statement is my fiction.
Not be accurate.


・・・・・・・・・
　

Well，inaccuracy of my writing about Lu Xun.
It aside，you must have one caution.

This era，China was suffering Between with modernization and past.
　
The Qing dynasty vanished in 1912.
And Imperial examination is abolished in 1905.
　
"Confucian thinking."
　
But Confucianism was present at the center of China two thousand years.
It was left as a common sense of Chinese of course.

"Courtesy and loyalty.
Confucianism is present to bind the Chinese by its old-fashioned order."

There was a face that can be recognized like that certainly in Confucianism.
　
"People are free and equal.
First，we need to change this consciousness."

People who aim the modernization of China.
Therefore，they had need that must be hostile daringly against Confucianism.
