汉武帝“罢黜百家,独尊儒术”的举措虽然提高了儒家的地位,却没有使先秦儒学的优良传统得到充分的传承。综合判断汉武帝时期的官方儒学形态,其学术水准不及黄老学,也不及先秦儒学,致使儒学下降的原因主要是由于汉武帝的迷信和过度有为思想,以及神学、贵族保守思想的干入。 Although the move of Han Wudi, “to strike a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism only”, raised Confucian status, it failed to fully inherit the fine traditions of pre-Qin Confucianism. Judging from the official Confucianism in the period of Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty, its academic standard is less than that of Huang Lao and Confucianism before Qin dynasty. The reasons for the decline of Confucianism are mainly due to Han Wudi's superstition and excessive thought, as well as the intervention of theology and aristocracy .
