ABSTRACT

China is a socialist state in which multicultures of 56 ethnic groups exist. The rapid economic development since the reformation has shaped diverse troubles at home and abroad. In order to resolve such troubles from a lon g-term point of view, not only did Chinese Community Party revive Confucianism but it also applied a core idea of Confucianism which is the harmony ideology. The reasons why Chinese Community Party has tried to apply the harmony ideology to the Chinese society are summarized as follows. First, the party regarded the harmony ideology, the core idea of Confucianism, as a basis of the theory both to solve practical problems which the country has been faced with since the rapid economic development and to realize the great nation politics which the whole world would agree to. Second, the party tried to apply the harmony ideology in order to work on these problems which would include quantitative expansions, minority groups, the re-rise of Chinese threat, the cross-strait reunification and others. Third, based on confidence in the economy and diplomacy, the party understood the ideology and culture of Confucianism as great foundations for unifying multiracial and multicultural communities and for building up cultural soft power which the world would recognize.
