 note = {This article aims to describe and analyze the influence of Confucianism
on Chinese peasant society. This analysis is based on field work
in Haicheng Prefecture, Liaoning Province from August 1987 to
September 1988.
The influence of Confucianism upon peasant society came through
various routes, such as:
1) the influence of the intelligentsia.
2) education.
3) widely read pamphlets.
4) folk entertainment.
5) the law of the lineage.
By these routes, the ethics of Confucianism deeply permeated the peasant
society, influencing ideas and the form of social relations.
On the other hand, Confucianism is, after all, a theory of Confucian
scholars, and could not be realized completely in actual society.
There are some gaps between the theory of Confucianism and its practice
in peasant society. Confucianism maintains that morals have universality,
but in peasant society morals are always closely related to specific people.
Xiao (filial piety) is one of the most important moral concepts in
Confucianism, and includes vang (support) , zang (funeral) , ji (holding
ceremonies for the ancestors) , and a strong attachment to one's
parents. But in fact, the obligation of a son to look after his parents is
always related to the inheritance of property from the parents. He (harmony)
is taken very seriously in Confucianism, and as a result, peasants
also regard he as the most ideal moral state. But in the traditional extended
family, quarrels between married brothers and each nuclear family
occur repeatedly.
Because of such gaps, there is a dual character in peasant society.
That is, although peasants claim to follow Confucian morals, in reality
they think of their own interests. In dealing with others, they make their
requests in the language of Confucian ideals, but to themselves they
usually stress their own interests with various pretexts.},
