方宗诚与柏堂学

Fang Zong-cheng and Baitang Learning

方宗诚是晚清时期的理学名儒,著述丰富。其学术思想主要表现在恪尊程朱理学,讲究为学之道;排斥汉学、心学;强调经世致用,主张实体力行三个方面。他在理学方面虽无大的创见,但却较为系统,一定程度上反映了晚清时期程朱理学的理论水平和时代特点。

Fang Zong-cheng was one of the famous Neo-Confucians （the Cheng ＆ Zhu＇s Confucian School of Idealist Philosophy） in Late Qing Dynasty, who had lots of works. His academic thoughts mainly embodied in three aspects： loyal to the Neo-Confucianism and proficient in methods, objected to the Han Learning （the Ancient Confucian Classics） and the Xin Learning （the Philosophical System of Lu Jiu-yuan and Wang Yang-ming）, emphasized in Chingshi （ the management of state affairs for practical purpose）, practice and doing actually in person. He put no new theory out, but his thoughts were systematic, which reflected the level and the characteristics of the Cheng ＆ Zhu＇s Confucian School of Idealist Philosophy in Late Qing Dynasty in some degree.
