清代名儒何桂珍,秉承程、朱理学精髓,讲求“内圣”,更讲“外王”;注重个人躬行实践,竭力把注重个人修养和求得道德完善的做法推向社会,直至帝王。其目的既在于解说和传播理学,更在于研究现实和拯救国势。他把宋明理学思想与明末清初的经世致用思想统一起来,丰富了近代中国思想史的内容。其思想虽受时代局限,但不乏很多的现实借鉴成分。 He Guizhen, a famous Confucianist in the Qing Dynasty, upholds the essence of Cheng and Zhu Li, emphasizes “inner sanction” and stresses “outer king”; pays attention to personal practices and endeavors to push the society, up to the emperor, to focus on individual cultivation and moral perfection. The purpose is not only to explain and disseminate the science, but also to study the reality and save the country. He unifies the thought of Neo-Confucianism with the thought of using the world in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and enriches the content of modern Chinese thought history. Although his thinking is limited by the times, there is no shortage of realistic borrowing ingredients.
