《理学真伪论》直解

Thought on Authenticity of the Neo-Confucian Theory

将理学确立为王朝统治思想的主要原因有二:一是少年时代即落入神圣人生、理想国陷阱的康熙尚在理学梦中,二是南明尚在,三藩之乱又萌,对世情了解不够而又急需赢取汉族认同。康熙对理学有一个沉迷、快速认识、极力补救的过程,其本人因此身心俱疲,落入虚无主义。

There are two reasons why Neo-Confucianism was established as the ruling thought of Qing Dynasty.First,Emperor Kangxi was lost in the dream of a holy life and an ideal nation when he was a teenager.He was still in the dream of Neo-Confucianism after he grew up.Second,Southern Ming Dynasty still had breath,and ＂Revolt of the Three Feudatories＂ was still in the play.Emperor Kangxi did not have enough knowledge to the Han people but he needed to earn their support urgently.Kangxi was obsessed with Neo-Confucianism but lack of understanding about this theory.Though he was learning,he still fell into the nihility because of mentally and physically fatigue.
