Among so many Confucianism renaissance ideological schools
Kang Youwei's thoughts have been respected and advocated by some scholars gradually in recent years. Continental neo-Confucianism formed as new academic focus in modern social context. Scholars taking New Kang Youwei's thoughts as Confucianism renaissance guiding principle gradually formed ideological camp combining Continental neo-Confucianism and Kang's Party. They advocate Kang Youwei's thoughts to make religion evolution to Confucianism
distort Confucianism in religion ways. From academic characteristics
ideological spectrum
shared values to representative personage
they all present strong Confucianism religion evolution tendency. Kang Youwei's Confucianism thoughts not only distort Confucianism
but also attempt to achieve political illusion through religion evolution to Confucianism. Continental neo-Confucianism taking Kang Youwei as ideological origin aims to use Kang Youwei's thoughts to continue his reform logic. This cannot provide reliable theoretical foundation to Confucianism renaissance. In the other side
it will lead Confucianism renaissance into dangerous wrong way.
