The purpose is to strengthen centralization, which is related to centralization.
Only c vassal strength is increasing day by day.
"oust a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone"
Basic explanation
First, from "inaction" to "promising"
(1) Reason: There were frequent wars in the late Qin Dynasty, and the social and economic damage was serious.
(2) Purpose: In order to resume production, calm people's minds and absorb the Taoist thought of "governing by doing nothing", the rulers adopted the policy of sharing interest with the people.
(3) Measures: reduce land rent, pardon Shu Ren who sold herself as a servant, let a large number of soldiers go home, grant land and houses, and exempt certain taxes and corvees.
(4) Results: After more than 60 years of rest and recuperation, the economic strength of the Han Dynasty was gradually restored and enhanced, people's lives were stable, society was prosperous, and national strength was increasingly enhanced.
(5) Social problems in the early Han Dynasty:
Ahmadinejad (through translator): The influence of the vassal state is expanding day by day, land annexation is serious, and a split situation is taking shape.
Foreigner: Xiongnu invasion and border crisis threatened the stability of the Western Han Dynasty.
(6) In order to strengthen centralization and adapt to the development needs of national unity, positive and promising political thoughts have become the needs of the times.
Second, "oust a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone"
1, Dong Zhongshu:
The representative figure of Confucianism in Han Dynasty. He integrated hundred schools of thought's thoughts of Taoism, Legalism, Yin-Yang and Five Elements into Confucianism, and formed a new Confucian system. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu participated in the countermeasures three times and expounded his Confucianism.
2. Dong Zhongshu's idea is:
(1) In order to meet the needs of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to strengthen centralization, he put forward the idea of "unifying the Spring and Autumn Period" and "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". It is proposed that all academic circles that are not within the scope of the Six Classics should be deposed.
(2) In order to strengthen the monarchical power, Dong Zhongshu preached "the divine right of monarchical power". He put forward the theory of "harmony between man and nature" and "interaction between man and nature".
(3) Dong Zhongshu also put forward five moral standards for dealing with people, namely, "the monarch is the minister's principle", "the father is the son's principle", "the husband is the wife's principle" and "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust", which were summarized as "three cardinal principles and five permanent principles" by later generations.
Third, Confucianism becomes orthodoxy.
1, the reasons for the rise of Confucianism:
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used many Confucian scholars to participate in state affairs. Confucianism has become the standard for the government to select talents and appoint officials. Scholars studied Confucian classics, and Confucianism flourished.
2. The situation of Confucian education:
(1) Confucian classics have become national textbooks. A tutor who specializes in the study and dissemination of the Five Classics is called a "doctor". Since then, education has been monopolized by Confucianism.
(2) Establish imperial academy, with Dr. Confucian Five Classics as a professor, who can be an official in the government after passing the examination. The establishment of imperial academy broke the old stereotype that aristocratic bureaucrats were officials from generation to generation, and enabled the children of non-aristocratic bureaucratic families to be officials with the qualification of imperial academy. At the same time, it also greatly improved the status of Confucianism.
(3) Schools have been set up in all counties in China, and a local education system has been initially established. Confucianism became popular in all counties and counties, and began to be in an exclusive position among the people.
3. Results: Confucianism has become the orthodox thought respected by rulers of past dynasties and the mainstream of traditional culture in China.
