Abstract At the time of dynasty change of Zhou and Qin, the dispute of “non-Confucianism” among various schools and the question of “Confucian effect” from aristocrats gave birth to the ideological field of “Confucian Pedant”. In order to establish a healthy relationship between learning and politics, Xunzi emphasized that “a gentleman must debate.” aiming at cleaning the Confucian scholars who condescended to power. That constructed the original academic criticism of the “Pedant”. Into the age of autocratic monarchy, “Pedantic discourse” was made political and became a kind of hegemony through the official construction. It forced Confucianism to turn twice: first, it is from “enterprising” to “conservative”; then, it turned the moral philosophy of the Confucian predecessors into a doctrine of clean government, with the primary responsibility of safeguarding the imperial administrative security. With the crisis of modern governance, the discussion of “The Confucian Pedant do harm to the Country” was on the rise. It reflected the multiple conflicts between humanities and sci-tech, between eastern and western civilizations. In the process of global democratization, the dual penetration of capital and market not only gave birth to the real corrupt pedants but also changed the lower Confucianism into a tool which corrupted public. All in all, the changing history of Confucian pedants marked the ups and downs of confrontation between archaic scholars and politics and gain and loss of thoughts. It also reflected the dilemma of Confucianism development and tendency. From which we can get deeper understanding of Chinese Confucianism history.
