With a new departure different from the enlightening reason, Liang Shuming analyses the importance of the tradition in modernity, of the multi-trend of modernization, and of the exploration of modernity from Chinese national tradition in terms of cultural comparison. He, based upon traditional Confucianism, has modernistically annotated the Confucian classics by making use of the Buddhist and the Occidental philosophies, and discussed the possible role played by Confucian resources in the construction of a modern state and society. His experiment on the construction of China's rural areas tries to reconstruct their etiquette and custom to introduce sciences and techniques into these areas, so as to lay down social basis for the revival of Confucianism. As a result, he has led his seek for traditional values of culture from the studio towards society, and has thus transformed the moral practice of Confucianism into that of the whole society, including economic activities, thus widening the practicality of Confucianism.
