The Religious Movement and Chinese overseas in modern China

民国初年，上海爆发了儒学运动。它要求儒学成为国教。这场运动源于清末两股政治潮流，即康有为的改革运动和慈禧Xi的新政，康有为一派主张儒学为教，孔子为教皇，因为有些基督徒说中国是异教国家，不成为基督教国家就不能强大。这场运动扩大到海外华人。在它的影响下，新政府以传统的礼制尊孔子为尊，最终导致了儒学运动的失败。这场运动的余烬分成两条线。孔子协会被纳入国际道德协会。这是一种民间异教徒的信仰。但是，海峡儒学联合会今天在新加坡继续存在。孔子的传统仪式在满洲国继续进行。满洲国的宰相在满洲创办了孔子学院。他认为儒家思想是经典，而不是宗教。

In the beginning of the Republic of China, the Confucian Movement broke out at Shanghai. It demanded Confucianism to become state religion. This movement had come from two political currents in the end of the Qing Dynasty ; the Reform Movement by Kang Youwei and the New Government with Ci Xi.The party of Kang Youwei (The Confucian Association) advocated that the Confucianism was a religion and Confucius was the pope, because some Christians said that China was pagan nation and could not be strong unless it becomes a Christian nation. The Movement expanded into the Chinese overseas. Through the influence of it, the New Government enshrined Confucius as the prime person with the traditional ceremony.After all, the Confucian Movement was defeated. The embers of this Movement branched away two lines. The Confucian Association was incorporated into the International Moral Society. It was a folk pagan beliefs. But, the Straits Confucian Association continues today in Singapore. The traditional ceremony of Confucius continued in Manchukuo. The prime minister of Manchukuo organized The Confucian Institute in Manchu. He recognized Confucianism to be the classics, not to be a religion.
