儒學與儒敎, 文廟與武廟

Abstract

This article deals with Confucianism and its religiousization. Since the Republic of China, the social structure has rapidly changed due to modernization, and the social organization of Confucianism is gradually collapsing. However, it is indeed these Confucian religious groups that remain the only one in the present society and are still active. As the discussion begins on the religiousization of Confucianism, the author briefly explains two examples of Confucian temples. Introducing Bixia Palace, a historic site in Yilan County and Xietian Temple, both reflecting Confucianism's role in religious education activities and ethical attitudes, although they may not make Confucian propaganda their mission. The second focuses on the connection between Confucianism and Wumiao in the sense of Confucianism and Confucianism as religion. Wumiao plays a complementary role with Confucianism in the promotion of Confucianism and can be said to be a branch of Confucianism in Chinese society. Third, the development of Confucianism in Chinese society does not depend only on the academic world and the national political education system. The reason Confucianism can be popularized in Chinese society has become a certain ethics and values of people's lives, and there are also a series of social and religious groups that depend on it. These clans and communities spread throughout Chinese society, allowing Confucianism to become widespread and infiltrate villages and communities.
