How do you get a conclusion that "virtually ALL serious Chinese
intellectuals were rejecting it" ?
I, as many people in the mailing list know, am a Chinese and like Confucius

By the way, I believe Confucius is an idea of living, not a theory. How the
intellectuals viewed represent only their personal views.
