This article explores the rediscovery of "Confucianism" in mainland China in the field of education, understood in the broad sense of training dispensed to others and self-cultivation. It begins by examining the general context of the phenomenon and then analyzes how it is currently taking form and becoming institutionalized. On such a basis, it becomes possible to better understand one of its main features-its paradoxical anti-intellectualism. china perspectives 1. The product of a modern science of religions that came into being in Europe during the nineteenth century, "Confucianism" is an occidental concept which only partially overlaps the Chinese notions of rujia and/or rujiao. These notions can also cover meanings that are very different depending on historical context. We therefore put this term in quotation marks, since in a modern context it expresses more of an assertion of identity than an objective reality.
