Question

list the Confucian values that Chiang Kai-shek used to bring modern Western ideas into a culturally conservative population. Why do you think Chiang Kai-shek used those particular values to introduce Western culture to China?

Answer 1

It was four guiding values:

Proper life (禮/礼);

Righteousness (義/义);

Honesty and Cleanness (廉;)

Shame; sense of right and wrong (恥/耻)

Step-by-step explanation:

What became called the New Life Movement (新生活運動) was a proposal of values influenced directly by the Confucianism. In many aspects, the New Life Movement was a Neo-Confucianism movement. The reason why Chiang Kai-Shek used this Neo-Confucianism to introduce the Western values in China, is mainly because the Confucianism was already established in China as a Philosophy, but he adapted some of the western precepts to introduce in China.

Answer 2

There are three given Confucian values, but first we must know what Confucianism means. Confucianism of also what other people call Ruism is defined as a tradition, a religion, and even a philosophy. Even though there is no exact term in Chinese for Confucianism, this could be interpreted in a lot of ways.
