After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he asked all localities to recommend wise men, and Dong Zhongshu was elected to participate in the consultation. Dong Zhongshu had the opportunity to propose that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "abolished Confucianism". His main thoughts focus on the Confucian patriarchal ideology, the interaction of yin and yang and the five elements, and the unity of theocracy. Monarchy, patriarchy and husband power constitute the theological system of imperial power, while Confucianism focuses on the induction between heaven and man, the three cardinal principles and the five permanents.

Dou Taihou died in 135 BC. In the second year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, fearing to completely overthrow hundreds of theories including the way of Huang Lao and respecting Confucianism. As far as international stability is concerned, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does this, it will inevitably cause great controversy within the Han Dynasty, and it is easy to overthrow the court and cause partisan disputes.

Because the only Confucianism in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is different from the true colors of Confucianism, the Confucianism used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is actually a legal Confucianism. They are Confucianism on the surface, but legalists in essence. What happened? This is because Dong Zhongshu carried out a fundamental reform of Confucianism, which made Confucianism very different from before. Wang Baoxuan emphasized that the conquest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was traditionally summarized by "breaking a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism". However, this famous saying didn't appear until Sima Guang wrote "Learning from the Same Resources" in the 2nd century/kloc-0. According to the above viewpoint, the author tries to discuss how the records in Historical Records led to the formation of Confucian misconceptions in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the country's economic and military strength was greatly improved, but the border was always tortured by black clay figurines. Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, wanted to achieve reunification, but people's thoughts were still satisfied with the status quo at that time, and a new thought was urgently needed to restrain the thoughts of people and scholars! At that time, Dong Zhongshu's idea of "abolishing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" was just the need of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty! It is successful to respect Confucianism alone and maintain feudal rule. For the long-term development of the country, it is really a failure of God to put a hundred schools of thought on Confucianism.
