A Contribution to the Understanding of Confucianism in Vietnam

  • Nguyễn Quốc Tuấn

Abstract

Confucianism, also known as the Way of Scholars or the Teachings of Confucius and Mencius, has a significant contribution towards Vietnam's traditional culture. However, from the past to the present, it has often been viewed as a politico-social doctrine. Actually, during its existence and development, Confucianism has had a system of concepts, rites, and practices associated with ideas of the universal principles and of the mankind which plays as a foundation for viewing it as a religion. This article seeks to shed light on the religious perspective of Confucianism and of Confucianism in Vietnam.
