With the spread of the slogan "Down with Kongjiadian", the image of Confucius was severely impacted in the early years of the Republic of China, and the reasons were briefly analyzed. Not too long, a little shorter.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai, who stole the achievements of the Revolution of 1911, promulgated the Constitution of the Republic of China in order to achieve dictatorship, stipulating that "national education should be based on Confucius' way of self-cultivation". He also led hundreds of officials to stage an ugly drama of "offering sacrifices to Confucius". Feudal remnants applauded one after another, and some imperialists even advocated "Confucianism as the state religion" and "no regrets at home and abroad". There has been a fierce conflict between the old and new ideological trends. Through the lessons of the failure of the Revolution of 1911, some progressive intellectuals decided that to establish a veritable Republic, we must fundamentally transform the national character and then set off a new cultural movement. Advocate democracy and oppose dictatorship; Advocate democracy and oppose dictatorship; Advocate science and oppose superstition and blind obedience; Advocate new morality and oppose old morality; Advocate new literature and oppose old literature. This is a positive struggle against respecting Confucius' retro countercurrent.
