New Confucian Manifesto
In 1958 four scholars in exile from the mainland, Tang Junyi, Mou Zongsan, Xu Fuguan, and Zhang Junmai, published a manifesto for the reappraisal of Chinese culture, declaring that the Confucian tradition carried living resources for democracy and science rather than obstacles to them. The document founded the movement called New Confucianism, which carried the teaching through the twentieth century's anti-Confucian decades.
