Abstract

Based on the material for the publication and sell of books of Neo-Confucianism,this article makes statistics of the publication of this very sort of book during various periods.Moreover,the author investigates the situation of Neo-Confucianism among the intelligentsia during the first half of 19th century in terms of the opinions of scholars,the adjustment of imperial policy,and the print and writing of books of Neo-Confucianism. In the early years of the reign of Jiaqing,Neo-Confucianism had declined and few scholars were extremely concerned,although various proposals of uphold of this very school could be heard. The Incident of Tianli Sect in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jiaqing forced the Qing to make significant adjustment to its cultural policy,and made Neo-Confucianism part of governmental policy. Neo-Confucianism began to revitalize since the late Jiaqing,especially during the Daoguang reign in terms of the print and writing of books. The ascending of Neo-Confucianism since the period of Daoguang and Xianfeng was the result of this trend.
