The study of Confucian sages, from Han Dynasty to Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties, failed to continue the study of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period for thousands of years. Neither the light of life nor the wisdom of philosophy can be revealed. Especially in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the cultural life of Chinese people shrank and degenerated. Until the early Northern Song Dynasty, there was no decent teacher in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that "learning and losing your way". It was not until the Neo-Confucianism came out that the metaphysical wisdom of pre-Qin Confucianism was revived, and the knowledge of life of Heaven (the meaning of mind and nature) and the teaching of becoming a virtue from inner saints were reappeared. The ideological leadership was taken back from Buddhism, and the status of Confucius naturally reappeared. The achievement of this step is unique in the history of human culture. It is a pity that since the Qing Dynasty, scholars have been humble in heart, but criticized Neo-Confucianism, which is really a great regret for academic ingratitude.
