neo-Confucianism
Definition
- Neo-Confucianism refers to the broad-ranging revival of Confucianism that began in the eleventh century CE during the Song dynasty (960–1278) and continued until at least the early Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Neo-Confucians were critical of the influence of Buddhism and Taoism on their society, and yet they drew on Buddhist and Taoist ideas to articulate their distinctive interpretation of Confucianism.
