The religeonization of Shendao in 'Romance of Fate to Awaken Men'follows the Confucian traditional thought from beginning to end. Mrs. Chao,having become a sage from an ordinary person, is a Confucian ideal avatar to give in charity and help the poor widely and take kind heartedness as the basic.Chao Liang at last has selected the living mode of a dutiful son all his life, it reveals the supreme position of the Confucian ethics and moral of consanguinity in the heart of the author. And the predestined relationship of two generations of Chao Yuan, Di Xichen and Sister Xue Su expresses: 'Romance of Fate of Couple to Awaken Men'has absorbed the concepts of karma (preordained life) and samsara (wheel of life) of Buddhism after digesting, that is no more than emphasizing that trampling the intercalation of ethics and moral of the Confucian three main-stays and five constant virtues,heartedness and justice should not been promised. The author carries forward his earthly subjective desire of the Confucian moral, and it has brought a certain extant negative effect to the works.
