Neo Confuscanism refers not to a new interpretation of the ancient confuscianism but a renewed interest in the traditional teachings. The movement centred on intellectual and spiritual growth, ultimately leading to ultimate personal fulfilment. Neo Confuscianism spread quickly throughout East Asia and still today is a cornerstone of philosophical teachings in western society.
