“Ren” is the core of Confucius’ thought

and is the emotion that is inherent in everyone’s life and emanats from his inner self. And on the basis of inheriting Confucius

Liang Shuming reconstructed his culture with “Ren” as the center. First of all

on the basis of the restoration of ethical relations

he proposes to build a group organization with Chinese spirit in combination with western advanced thoughts. Secondly

he suggests to establish a new propriety and custom based on the western concept of equality and freedom. Finally

he advises to find out the reasons from our own side and focus on the present

and stand up for our own subject. Education is the way to create all possibilities and the means to realize the first three points. Therefore

we should establish rural schools to stimulate the upward force of life.
