Regarding whether Confucianism is a religion, contemporary Neo-Confucians have abundant discussions. Mou Tsung-san believed the general claim that Christianity is founded on ”God” while Confucianism founded on ”Man” was not pertinent; Tang Chun-yi pointed out Confucianism never opposes that people can pray to ”God” out of their hearts of kindness (jen). In other words, both of these important Neo-Confucian scholars confirmed that traditional Confucianism accepted the concepts of ”god,” ”God,” and ”heaven. And yet, traditional Confucianism has always been applying their unique value-”respect the supernal and keep your distance”-to the ”substantial object” symbolized by the concept of the ”respectable god.” Based on such thinking, the writer sets two goals for this paper: First, in terms of the theoretical direction, employing the predecessors” research results, on the one hand, we explore the philosophical background against which Analects proposed the ideas ”to respect” and ”to keep your distance,” analyzing how the ”value of respecting the supernatural and keeping your distance” was formed; on the other hand, this article poses its opinion about ”the religiousness of Confucianism” against this philosophical background. Second, in terms of the methodology, the discussion of this paper about why the value of ”respecting the supernatural and keeping your distance” was formed is indeed a methodology of historical comparison, that is, the methodology whereby to reflect on whether contemporary Neo-Confucianism and the text of Analects are coherent in their religious views. In other words, this paper is to analyze the religiousness respectively of classic Confucianism and contemporary Confucianism by means of these two goals. In the conclusion, we give our remark about ”respecting the supernatural and keeping your distance.” It's believed here that ”respecting” is owing to seeing ”god” as a real being, whereas the value of ”keeping your distance” originates from the insistence of ancient central plains civilization on the ”request of philosophy for the value of 'rationalization'” after the age of philosophy came. In other words, during the process of making the ”verbal heaven” become the representative of the ”true heaven,” the early Chinese philosophers attempted to make the later scholars view in distance the commonly known ”verbal heaven,” keep a ”reflective distance,” contemplate and review how much the daily-used ”verbal heaven” can carry the idea of the ”true heaven.” Then they should perceive the rich existentiality of the ”true heaven” and develop from there the basic drive for the ”foundation of Confucian moral practice.”
