Abstract:
Liao Ping is a master of classics in modern ages, whose Confucian reform played an important role in the trend of constitutional reform and modernization in late Qing Dynasty. But he developed the classic thought extremely absurd: he made Confucius as an emperor, six classics as Confucius restructuring works. What he did differentiate ancient and modern literature by social regulations one-sidedly, put "King's System" on top of the six classics, then made the six classics guide the whole world, and finally constructed a fantastic illusion of "Emperor's thought" produced by "imperial thought". His absurdity is a fallacy of seeking truth at a high academic level. So he is the terminator of modern classics.
