Discussion on Chen Ziang’s Political Thought from the Perspective of “Wang Zheng”

Abstract

"King governance" corresponds to "hegemonic governance", which is one of the core thoughts of Confucian governance, and also the ideal form of politics in the Tang Dynasty. On how to achieve the "royal government", Chen Ziang of the Empress Wu Dynasty put forward his own views: The idea of royal government proposed by Chen Ziang had its uniqueness, on the one hand, it came from the joint shaping of the family tradition of attaching equal importance to Confucianism and ink and the imperial examination system, on the other hand, it came from the collision between the pure use of the world and the shock of the political situation of the Empress Wu Dynasty. The study of Chen Zi 'ang's thought of "Wang Zheng" has a unique significance for understanding his time of Wu Zetian.
