Abstract

Han Yu’s “Memorial on the Buddha’s Bones,” in conjunction with his pro-Confucian essay “The Original Tao,” came to be viewed by later generations of Chinese as the polemical foundation for the Confucian revival known as Neo-Confucianism. Neo-Confucianism became the dominant social- political discourse from the twelfth through the nineteenth centuries.
