ABSTRACT
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a new theory of learning was created—Muslim Confucian Study (Chinese Islamic Philosophy)—on the basis of Islamic philosophy and under the influence of Confucianism. Wang Daiyu (1570-1660) and Liu Zhi (1660-1739) were two great Huiru (Muslim Confucian) scholars at that time. They published Zhengjiao zhenquan (The real commentary on the tire teaching), Tianfang xingli (Nature and principle in Islam) major books. Their approach is distinguished from that of other Muslim scholars in that they addressed the basic articles of Islamic thought with Confucian terminology and categories. The study deals with the Islamic worldview, and with the practices that make it possible for people to bring themselves into conformity with that worldview. However, the teaching of the Muslim Confucian was continuous with those of Mainstream Islam. In my research, I attempted to answer two questions: (a) How did Muslim Confucian Study Inherit the Mainstream Islamic Thought? (b) What is the value and contribution of the World Islamic philology and civilization?
