Retro Movement of Literary and Deviation of the Confucian Classics in Ming Dynasty

The Retro Movement of Literary lasted from the early stage to the middle and later periods of Ming Dynasty, almost throughout the whole dynasty. The chief leaders of this movement in the early periods are those literatis who especially lived in Wuyue and Fujian，and that in the rest periods are the“QianHouQiZi”.At the same time, the opinion that “Each doctrine expresses their own views, the disadvantages are obvious. Only talk and guess, the research must be incomplete” of the Confucian Classics was just on the contrary to this movement. The different direction of research between Literature and Confucian Classics related to the Taige Style, the philosophy of the mind by Lu and Wang and the disadvantages of the Confucian Classics research before. Few intellectuals studied not only as litterateurs but also as scholars on Confucian Classics. They chose retro in Literature and deviation in Confucian Classics, which was caused by different social environment largely.
