Abstract: Historical Ideology is the consciousness activity in which the subject transforms the time experience of history into a practical orientation in life. It not only reflects the continuity of history, but also includes the goal of taking history as a model and instigating the development of later political civilizations. The historical consciousness of Confucianism originates from the wise consciousness of building political cooperation, which includes political consciousness and moral consciousness, and develops the structural situation of differences based on the historical situation of differences. In Confucian philosophy, the first kind of historical consciousness is the “dedication to the three generations” that will be followed by the recapture and scrutiny of history, and the second kind of historical consciousness is the “Taoism Reconstruction” that builds the value norms of Confucianism by settled in the “Taoism” and constructed the Confucian value model. The recount of the “Three Generations” and the “Taoism” are both confessed. The Confucian historical consciousness has penetrated the three dimensions of time, and through the time experience of transforming history, it has realized the present and future career reality.

Since modern times, discussions about historical objectivity have become the focus of the thinking world. In a broad sense, history can refer to both experiences and facts that have happened in the past and their main views on what has happened in the past. These two aspects are different from each other and have internal connections. “The affairs and behaviors that constitute history can only become history through historical experiences of the historical subject” [1]. It can be said that the difference between history and the so-called “careful past” is that the former is remembered, personally experienced or described by the historical subject, while the latter is a pure old event. Old events form history through the experience and interpretation of the historical subject, and this process must be accompanied by the historical consciousness. J9rn Rüsen defines “historical consciousness” as the sum of “the activity of transforming time experience into a practical orientation of career energy (including emotions and cognitive, aesthetic, moral, unconscious and interesting)” [2]. Through reflection activities, the subject will experience the time of being criticized, so historical consciousness is essentially a time of consciousness. As a main model of historical philosophy, historical consciousness is very different from historical view. The so-called historical view often refers to the basic viewpoints of historical development and development changes; while historical perceptions point more to the subject’s sensory infection and comment on historical time experience. Compared with the popularity and widespreadHistorical view of sex, historical consciousness undoubtedly focuses more on the subjective structure of history. However, this conceptualized structure is not arbitrary, but organically unites the subjectivity of people in historical practices with the objectivity of historical processes in a certain internal connection.
Since the pre-Qin period, the contemplative schools have a broad sense of humanistic self-conception that “believes and loves the past”, especially Confucianism. Many Confucians believe that modern society is nearly perfect compared to the times of their lives. “History is actually a process of morality, and the most basic is not a process that becomes truly reliable due to the recurrence of generations” [3]. However, the problem is that, on the one hand, the modern history that these thinkers love reflects strong virtuality, so that there are often conflicts and destructions within the historical narrative; on the other hand, the historical words “regular” after Qin and Han are often guaranteed by the arguments of the “Three Dynasties”, and this stand-alone almost penetrates all the contents of Chinese thought history. Tomorrow it will appear that even if this problem is not undecided, it will inevitably conquer modern scholars’ understanding and comment on ancient history. Here, we cannot introduce the concept of “historical consciousness” to try to solve the inherent strength in Chinese historical narratives. According to Jun Sen’s understanding, the objectivity of history can be “set”, and its true meaning lies in presenting one’s own time experience through the historical process of “past to present”. This kind of time experience lies in historical consciousness. In this way, we can say that modern Confucian furniture contains such a historical concept, which constructs historical events with the focus on “Three Dynasties” or “Taoism”. For this kind of historical conception, modern scholars’ development of history is not purely for ancient thoughts. More of the meaning is to trace the history in a sentence introduction: marriage first and love later, warm and cool little sweet articles come with a dependency, which contains the meaning of time experience.
1 Confucian historical consciousness and historical events
A basic feature of Chinese history is its continuity, which not only expresses the same relationship in the historical writing level, but also reflects protrudingly on the inheritance of civilized energy. In this international heritage, Confucian civilization has played a major role. Even though we cannot discuss the Chinese thinking tradition based on Confucian civilization, there is no doubt that compared with the Buddhist and Laozi, Confucianism has always grasped the right to speak in the continuation of historical civilization. The emphasis on tradition is concentrated in Confucianism as a sensory and human civilization historical concept. The Confucian book about historical events is not based on historical consciousness. “Confucianism has long established a deep and folded historical consciousness. The main points of historical consciousness are now determined.The continuity of the Confucian historical consciousness begins with determining the continuity of historical development, and then paying attention to the past and past observations based on this continuity. Finally, it undoubtedly includes criticism of the present and prospects for the future.
Jusen used Karl-Ernst Jeismann’s sentence expresses historical consciousness, that is, “to talk about the past, to understand the internal connection between the present and the future” [5]. This historical continuity that constructs the past, present and future is exactly the age The expression of historical consciousness. In Ji Sen’s view, although historical consciousness is based on “past”, it expresses more a kind of “super-pastness”. “Historical consciousness does not reduce the time to be discussed to the past, but passes back The past and the principle of thorough discussion is always a time period that exceeds the past dimension: when the time experience and time diagram of later generations’ careers have led to the recall function of historical consciousness” [6]. Therefore, historical consciousness not only relates to the past, but also to The present and even the future. In the writing of history, historical consciousness points from the past to the present and the future, including the strong purpose: historians use history for the sake of the present goals.
The Confucianism’s experience Historical consciousness is suitable for the above theoretical characteristics and specifically represents the construction and solution of history. Generally speaking, the construction and solution of historical texts always point to a certain real goal. Construction refers to the historian’s views or interests in borrowing personal views. Historical data is reprocessed and the historical text is value-oriented or ideologically shaped; the solution refers to the historian breaking the established meaning of historical data in past generations by denying existing judgment logic and evaluation standards, and thus forming a new one Historical conclusions. Whether it is structure or solution, they are essentially important to the historical value form. This kind of emphasis is generally expressed through the method of historical events. Historical events are an important expression of historical consciousness in the socialization process Mood, it integrates individual life experiences, collective ethnic memory and preservation time experiences, and ultimately forms historical texts in all meanings. In the verbal system of Confucian historical philosophy, historical events are importantly presented as the study of history. Sweetheart Garden In this regard, Liu Wenzheng pointed out:
The understanding of history is not the principle of writing it, but especially to seek the principles of the crowd. It is a historical philosophy that people can be found through history. In ancient times, our country was not named, and its principles of recommendation have already been included in the school. [7]
