- Title
“ Ru”: Xunzi’s thoughts on Ru and its significance.
- Authors
Chen, Lai
- Abstract
No matter what the original meaning of “ Ru” was, looking at it from the perspective of the history of philosophy, the image of “ Ru” as portrayed by other schools in the Warring States period was infused with the characteristics of Confucianism of that time. The self-understanding of Warring States Confucians expressed by their employment of the character “ Ru” clearly displayed Ru’s character as well as the main points of the Ru school, namely Confucianism. In particular, the words and thoughts of Xunzi, the great Confucian master, on “ Ru”, epitomize Pre-Qin Confucian’s understanding and expectations of themselves, and also reflect the Confucian new pursuit in facing the age of the unification of Qin.
